  • Thanks for info, now much wiser:rotfl: . Bacardi
  • Thanks, Soolin and Oakie - I'll try an auction house.

    It got forced on me when we were clearing out an elderly relative's house after her death, and I turned down three others before I cracked and accepted the one I've ended up with. It's really horrible (or at least, to me it is!), so I wouldn't be surprised if I needed to pay someone to take it off my hands rather than the other way around:o !

    You could always keep it until the market turns round again, china has a habit of going in and out of fashion so if it isn't worth anything now it might be one day.

    Hi I would suggest that you take a photo of your tea set and then e mail it to a couple of auction houses near to you and ask if they are interested in selling it and how much you would be likely to get. If they are not interested then at least you know and you haven't had to go to the trouble of lugging it round. You should check how much they will charge and when the next auction is. Most auctioneers also have free valuation days so you could check that out too.

    came across beansprog.com, for selling childrens stuff. Flat % to sell it, fixed price stuff. Not much happening so far but bought a swimming bath seat for my son and smooth enough transaction

    Probably the cheapest way I have sold stuff, was listing in the local shops. Cost about 20p for a few weeks, or in my local Spar free. Large items sell well here as they are usually all local buyers. Supermarkets also have notice boards, which can be quite decent.

    i have just found clothesagency.com. They charge £1.25 per month per item, 6 FREE photos and NO commission when it sells. They tend to be designer or high end shop clothes, so you could sell an item for £50 and only pay a total of £1.25! Bargain!

    That's assuming any of it sells at all, of course. I prefer some of my fees and preferably all of them to be FVF - you may pay more if you sell, but that's IF you sell.

    Not many posts, I notice...
  • I've logged into clothesagency.com but everything on sale is in a small size - nothing above a 14, and not many of those.
