My sweetie and I have a total of 8 sets of silverware. Two real silver, one gold-plate, and 5 sets of stainless. But only the real silver and gold ones are full sets, and selling them as a full set on eBay wouldn’t yield as much as it costs to replace three missing teaspoons from the nicest stainless set.
Parting out a complete set of silver would get about 10x the price of a full set.
Melting them down would bring the most.
I’m *almost* tempted to start a silverware arbitrage business.
