Experience in selling or consigning wedding china?
I'm divorcing, need to downsize and am looking to sell my wedding china. It is not practical to use as everyday dishware but it is beautiful and in great condition. It is discontinued and individual pieces are selling for a lot on eBay, but it seems prohibitively expensive and time-consuming for me to try to sell and then ship on eBay. Has anyone had experience using Replacements.com? Are there consignment shops or similar stores in the area that purchase or consign china? Thanks!

I don't have experience selling with replacements.com, but bought a couple of bowls from them for my wedding set. It was a good experience. The bowls were said to be slightly damaged, but they arrived in perfect condition, so that was a pleasant surprise. It was a seamless transaction. Also, I liked that the owner sent an email to his customers when there was talk of boycotting North Carolina businesses due to NC's backward stance on genderizing bathrooms. It was a very personal email asking for his customers to please not boycott replacements.com, as he, the owner, was gay himself and was of course opposed to NC's plan. Anyway, it humanized on online transaction for me, and I appreciated that.
