Vintage Things You Might Find in Your Home That Can Be Sold Off for Thousands of Dollars
China Sets
Although not every porcelain dish or tea set taking up space in cupboards will win a tidy sum of dough, trying to sell some of that passed-down chinaware is still worthwhile. According to experts, it all depends on the item’s age, origin, and type of clay used in its construction.
To determine its value, check for identification stamps, do some online research and price comparisons, or take the item to a guaranteed antique appraiser. Antique dishes may fetch hundreds of dollars, just like the Birks Sterling Silver George IV tea set and tray that went for $1,800 on eBay.
