What is the value of simpsons Franklin Mint plates?

Answer 1

I don't know how much it is worth, but I can tell you how to find out. Collectibles are sold on a secondary collectible market and the prices are set by the the popularity of an item. If a lot of people want a certain item it is more expensive than one no wants. There are books for collectibles listing current market prices for things like plates, dolls, and many other things. So, go to your local bookstore and find the books listing the secondary market values for plates. This is a big book so you will look up under the Franklin Mint listing and look for the name of your plate. It will give you a base price. Don't buy the book just look up the price. You can also go on EBay and see if there are any listings for your plate and what they are selling for. This will also give you a idea of the plate value. If you have the box and all the papers that came with your plate it is worth more than a plate with nothing. The condition of the plate is also a factor. Any chips or cracks will lessen the value of the plate. I have sold many things on the secondary market and sometimes you get more than what you think it will sell for and sometimes it is less. It is a little like the Stock Market the prices of things go up and down within days. There is also a collectible plate magazine that gives more information on the secondary market. Don't take your plate to a antique store or collectible store to sell you will get about 20% less than it is worth.
