Here are some opinions from our community:
- I would caution you against using eBay. I stopped selling silver there because you will by FAR get you the worst price. Between the eBay fees and PayPal fees, you will lose 11% right off the bat. Not to mention deadbeat bidders, scam artists, etc.
- Most coin dealers will buy bullion silver. Any pawn shop will give you something for it. Some jewelers will, too.
- Take your pieces to a local jewelry store, one that specializes in estate jewelry would be best. This is where you will get the best return on selling your items.
Special Note:
Make sure your silver is actually sterling which usually means it will have the word "Sterling" or ".925" marked on it. If not, it could be silver plated, which would have no melt value at all.
The best prices for silver plate and sterling silver would probably come from a retail shop that specializes in silver flatware and holloware. There they will consider the value of the design as well as the silver content. If the pattern is rare or desirable, it will add considerably to the value of the items.
Scrap silver buyers will not buy silver plate and they will not consider the design or maker of the pieces, they will only view it as something to be melted down and sold as scrap.
