Where's a good place to sell sterling silver? (buyers, prices)

[diddlydudette]

I have some silverware that I presently have on Ebay trying to sell. It's not getting much movement so I thought I'd take it all to one of those places that buys silver and gold to see what they might offer for it.

Anyone know if Southern Bullion buys silver?

Thanks.

Is it solid silver, hollow, or weighted? Having that info in your listing will help. If it's solid or hollow then adding the weight in the description should help sell it as well. I don't know about local buyers, just pick up the phone and call around.

Plaza Coins and Knives is an honest place that buys silver. They have been there ~17 years. You won't get as much as you might get selling it on Craigslist, but it's less of a hassle and you don't have to meet a stranger somewhere to exchange cash and valuables.

A lot of "WE BUY GOLD!" places have popped up in the last two or three years, and while some are surely honest, you don't have as good of an idea of who you're dealing with.

This is the type of silverware I am selling. Figured I would get more for it selling per piece on Ebay than selling it for melting it down.

I have several patterns and a few pieces (spoons/forks/sugar spoons/jelly spoons), etc. in each pattern.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I sold some gold to Southern Boullion last year and they do take silver. They had the best price of 4 or 5 dealers that I visited.

I've sold gold and silver (jewelry and water goblets) at Southern Bullion.

Thanks for the responses. I had sold some gold at Southern Bullion and like their prices but didn't know if they bought silver. I'll go there then. :-)

So *cough* where can I sell copper?
