Question I have 12 settings of holmes and edwards century pattern (teaspoons, forks, knives plus 1 soup spoon). Any idea of the worth? and the best way to sell it? and this is probably a stupid question but should it be cleaned before I attempt to sell (assuming its worth anything)? Thanks for your time.
Answer Hello Kelly, thank you for your question.
Your set of Century has a retail value in the $125 to $175 range. Selling it yourself is the best way to go - try Craiglist.org - and stay away from eBay as you'll practically give it away there. Your next best bet would be through a consignment shop, but you'll be paying commission for their serivces.
