Or others🙂

Over the years I've seen you post your good results in selling Temptations, etc. on different sites.

I'm in Phase 3 (final) of purging my tableware, dishes, serving pieces.  I just have a lot of "various" pieces.  Of course, lots of Temptations and Fiestaware.  I also have many pieces of Fenton, Johnson Bros., Lenox flowers & set of 12 holly christmas dishes, Capodimonte & various other single pieces.

I had luck once selling pieces thru Nextdoor but seems "traffic" on the site in this area has "slowed".  We do have our community yard sale mid-April but since painters & bath remodel guys are coming late Feb I'd like to have it gone.  (Plus, I'd have some extra cash for new towels, bath accessories, etc.).

Any suggestions?  My son suggested Ebay but I'm not wanting to set up Paypal & not that online seller savvy.

And how do you figure prices, do you split sets? 

Thank you!

@homedecor1.    You picked collectibles that would be a real pain in the neck to have to pack and ship.  You could have the UPS store do it but they'd charge you most of what your profit would be.  I don't envy you this chore.  It would be great if you could find a dealer who'd buy it all

My friend uses FB garage sales.  You post pictures of the items and people haggle/agree to buy.  She takes cash only.  The people come to her house and make the exchange.

I do this as well but NEVER exchange at my house!  We always meet in a public place such as a WalMart or grocery store parking lot.  And I don't go alone.

Her husband is usually there.  Yes, public location sounds like what I'd do.  They say do the exchange at the police station.

I don’t know if they are in your area, but there are some places that sell your things on eBay for you for a small fee....they photograph the items, price, ship, etc. the one close to us seems to stay pretty busy. I would try FB first and then try to find someone to help you with it. Also, check Replacements.com website. They buy lots of the brands you mentioned. Stay off of Craigslist...lots of very dicey situations begin there.

@homedecor1....the only issue I see using ebay is the shipping cost of the heavy serving pieces, ebay may not be worth it, price wise...

We recently moved into a condo and I had so many dihes it was ridiculous.   After my kids took what they wanted I donated the rest to an animal shelter in my area who has a flea market every weekend and use the profits to care for the animals.  Much less trouble and I can write off the donation on my taxes.
