Silver can be beautiful but I definitely don\u2019t want to spend time polishing it for the rare fancy occasions we might use it. I\u2019m sure, however, that a beautiful silver coffee pot set is not something that people who frequent thrift shops want or need \u2013 except to sell it for cash. One of my blog readers recommended a local charity store called <em>Legacies<\/em> that accepts high quality merchandise for the benefit of cancer support programs. I added a couple pieces of valuable crystal that were beautiful but at high risk for breakage. I probably won\u2019t make any money from this, but even if I did I\u2019d feel obligated to give it away. Finding the right home for give-aways is often the biggest challenge.<\/p>\n<p>PS: <strong>How much is it worth?<\/strong> In my ever continuing effort to be a resource to my readers, I\u2019ve found two ways to gauge the price of something I\u2019m considering giving away. Check prices for similar items on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ebay.com\">e-Bay.com<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/Replacements.com\">http:\/\/Replacements.com<\/a> (for crystal, silver, china, and collectibles. With this information you can decide whether to just give an item to a thrift store or sell it and then give the money to a worthy cause.
