Selling China

[gness]

I am going to seriously de-clutter......it's time....

I have dozens and dozens of pieces of Noritake china......two full dinner services accidentally gifted to me and lots of extras.....

Has anyone sold china and can recommend somewhere I can approach?

I don't do e-bay if that's one way to do it....

Thanks Gx

Hi my Apple xx, have you tried Gumtree / Free ads? easy to use, or type in Noritake China for sale.

My late mother bought two Noritake vases in her young days (about 1936). When she died, I took them to a local auction business, where they were sold for £200. I was surprised that they fetched so much, because I considered them to be 'modern', rather than 'antique'. You might care to try an auction for your Noritake china.

Even though you don't do eBay, it might be a good idea to do a search for your pattern(s) to get an idea of how popular they are and the price you can ask.

This specialist collector's website (which I use for postcards, etc) might be worth a try:

PS: When I saw a post entitled 'Selling China' I thought it must be about a Trumpsian political initiative ;-)

Looking at the prices of items for sale that are the same as I have they may be a bit much for that, TWR, sweetie............but worth a shot maybe....x

BB....and Pasta.....I had a google around out of curiosity and was amazed at what Noritake will sell for.....I know I won't sell for as much as I've seen but I have quite a few hundred pounds of china gathering dust....
Dinner plates are asking £15 each and I have sixteen of those....and I do have some of the more unusual pieces....

I'll investigate auctions in my area....thank you....x

If it's the Alluring Fields design I'll give you £150 for the set.

Sorry, Hc...we'd have had a deal otherwise....x

Thanks, Chris....that looks interesting....off out for an hour now but I'll look at that when I get home....I've unearthed boxed Mont Blanc and Conway Stewart pens...that might be a place to look to sell those too......I have too much stuff!!!.... :-)

[gness]

Oh and you have to have a BA for your p.s.......:-)

[TWR]

If I can add Gness, take a photo with a witness just in-case you have some devious buyers say, this was chipped, this is discoloured, the item is not as described, you know what I mean xx

I had an 8 piece set with all sorts of extras and nobody would take it from me, even the auction house weren't interested as it wouldn't go in a dishwasher. It was a white set with a discreet dull gold band so not a gaudy old fashioned set but it didn't matter. I sold the lot to a friends for £50

[EDDIE51]

There has been a lot of this sold on eBay
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Noritake-Yoshino-60Pc-China-Set-Service-for-12-/332179430544?hash=item4d576fdc90:g:VEoAAOSwPCVX~WBq
It may be worth a try. Cheaper than a 'proper' auction house!

two full dinner services accidentally gifted to me

how does that sort of thing happen ???

[gness]

I'll be careful, TWR...thank you....

This is quite a delicate pattern, Thuglike...hope I get more than £50 for it....I want a spa day..... :-)

Thank you, Eddie...that's useful to give me some ideas...x

Wolf...when I went to live in Canada I was given an account to furnish and equip the house......
I ordered a three piece suite and the dinner service arrived.....I phoned and they said keep the dinner service we will find the suite and deliver....they delivered a second dinner service....which they told me to keep....
I ordered a different suite but a couple of months later when I opened up the wood shed for a delivery of logs I found the original suite...so I ended up with two dinner services and two three piece suites.... :-)

You are starting to sound frighteningly like my mum. Except she is dead (1996) and you are not dead yet.

[sunny-dave]

"Yet" is quite reasssuring ...

[wolf63]

When it does happen Just make sure you have an alibi Dave.

Gness - how big is your airfryer thing. I need/want one.

[gness]

Best I can say, Wolf is about half the size of a microwave.....as tall and half as wide....

I have the Phillips one I got for £75 which was a bargain by the prices I've seen but I've just bought one from Lidl for £50...I hope it's as good as the Phillips which is fantastic.....x
