Understanding that you can’t possibly know the weight/value of my items, what might be a typical payment for, say, a sterling silver dinner fork or knife?
The weight/value of sterling silverware varies greatly from maker to maker. I purchased 2 sets yesterday from a lady and paid her just over $1,700.00. They were fairly heavy sets totaling over 5000 grams. Most sets are not that heavy. Having said that a fork can be anywhere from 25 to 45 grams, larger spoons the same, smaller spoon around 20 grams. Knives are different and are usually ‘loaded’ with resin or stainless steel with only the cover of the handle being sterling silver at approximately 15 grams. A sterling silverware set can fetch anywhere from $200.00 to $1,200.00 depending on the number of items and weight. Hope that helps, yes we would purchase your items if you’re looking to sell.
