That's why the price is so cheap.

Thank you for your interest.

GEN-X and probably millennials want nothing to do with them. I have an incredibly expensive set that nieces and friends' kids have always expressed appreciation for but when I offered them to one or the other (not selling, giving! )--not interested. Now those starting out with small apartments and nowhere really to store them, I could probably understand, but that is not the case with all of them. Anything requiring hand-washing is a big "no" for several of them--and the others have expressed zero desire to ever cook, much less have people over for a less casual (not delivery) dinner. Nor do they entertain the THOUGHT that things might be different in the future.

Years ago, I was offered a lot of money for them. Now, I can't even give them away. sigh...

There is absolutely NO market for them. Nothing.

An auctioneer told me this. Before EBAY, any given thing was scarce in a given locality. My husband and his sister fought over a specific Dalton their mother cherished that was so rare. Now, there are about 15 listed on EBAY. Last I looked, many were listed in the $300 range, but the only on that sold, sold for about $7. After my husband died in 2016, I sold his old vinyl record collection for a pretty good price. Just a year later, record companies started producing new vinyl of old records with much better quality. I probably lucked out. Same with baseball cards after about 1970. Just know they’re worthless. So just declutter and don’t leave that burden to your kids.

saved them for younger siblings to look at, but they went in the dumpster when we moved and he was too "grownup" to take them back... lol

From anyone else? No. And to be more specific, NO checks from True Dough.

and now, we just have these boxes of china in our garage that take up space. Times have changed.

It's a shame. Seeing similar lack of interest in large furniture pieces. I just gave an antique armoire from Ethan Allen to charity because I couldn't sell it. Initially priced it at $1399. Over time, reduced it to $99. Gave it away for nothing. Very sad. I have a beautiful entertainment center that is probably going to go next. Hurts to think about how much we paid for that piece.

The set is in those HUGE Rubbermaid totes. and they are taking up a ton of room.

We also have a very nice Ethan Allen corner table/bookcase combo that is beautiful, but I know it would never sell.

Collection of Tom Clark figurines. It cost more to ship than sell them.
What to do!

We had tenants living upstairs in this huge house we owned and lived in as well.

There was this very old man who lived in one of the apartments.

He would come downstairs with BUCKETS full of change and try to give it to my mom. He didn't want it because the change was "dirty". My mother refused to take it, and they would have arguments because she told him to take it to the bank and cash it in.

Shortly before this guy died, he gave me a small picnic basket full of old stamps and cancelled envelopes. I held onto it for years.

When I finally decided to try to sell it, I couldn't find any buyers.

I was counting on my Beanie Babies to fund my retirement.

My wife went through a phase.

We have HUGE GARBAGE BAGS full of those things!

She paid $200 to QVC or something for the Princess Beanie baby.

Whenever we have an argument , I pull the invoice out to playfully remind her of that.

I have princess sitting in one of those protective plastic containers on top of one of my dressers.

Sometimes, I'll curtsy when I walk by it, just to wind my wife up.

but it was sold with a set with two others that I already had. I remember it was purple with a one rose on the heart. We saw it as an investment. and had these large leaf bags full of them. I took to a day care center and donated them when the bubble burst.

I have an incredibly beautiful 8 seat solid Rosewood dining table with matching chairs, 2 leaf extension, in a Chinese Genghis Khan style and a beautiful china set would look great in the built in Craftsman hutch. I don't entertain much but it would look nice.

I'll get them from you as soon as that Nigerian prince sends me my money.

I've recently doing my Rick Harrison impersonation for a very short time.


In my best Tony Gaga voice, "2 dolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllarrrr!"
For you, Lucky...I'll do Tony Gaga!

I apologize if this is a repeat. I'll probably post 20 more times in the next month, thinking that I've never posted it before. I'm embarrassed that I am kind of like this.

😎

You're probably correct about Rick but I'm always messing with people.

starts arguing with the expert telling him he is way to low on the price estimate.

You know, arguing with a subject matter expert that has been eating, drinking, and dreaming about his field of expertise for 50 years.

I've never watched it but the commercials are forever playing Rick saying, "The best I can do is (insert amount here)."


So now I've picked up Rick's line and I run with it.

Unless you hope to sell to Boomers like us, the younger generations don't seem to value it as much.

We don't wear our mom's clothes from the 60s..it's OK to let go of home decor trends too
