Another Thanksgiving has come and gone and if you used the “good silver” at all, you probably just finished cleaning and packing it up again. Before you let the dust start to build on it for another year, consider this: silver is near its all-time high price. That means – you guessed it – this is probably the best time ever to sell that old set of sterling silver silverware, platters, candlesticks and just about anything else that’s silver or sterling silver.

If you’re starting to think about it, chances are you’re wondering “well, how much is it really worth?” Good question.

We buy sterling silver every day and the amounts paid vary greatly. The most important factor of course is the total amount of silver content in the pieces, and that’s measured in ounces. While we need to view your collection in person to accurately estimate its worth, here are some examples of recent purchases:

• Towle 92-Piece Sterling Silverware Set - $4,050.00
• Sterling Silverware - 1 place-setting of 6 - $175.00
• Small collection: platter, gravy boat, pitcher - $1,564.00
• Two 6.5” candlesticks: $339.00

The “X factor” is whether or not your pieces are of antique or designer value and therefore worth more than their melt value. That’s when prices can truly escalate.

Regardless, it is best to make an informed decision and weigh your options – no pun intended. We have experts that are ready to evaluate your collection and make you an immediate, top-dollar offer. If you accept, we’ll pay you in cash or check immediately. Best of all, you won’t have to clean those pieces again! 

And don’t forget, we buy much more than sterling silver! We pay top dollar for unwanted jewelry, gold in any condition, rare coins, bullion, fine watches and more!
