Divesting China

April 2nd, 2011 at 05:15 am

No, this isn't a political opinion, I just can't seem to find a home for my great aunt's china. I took it to two consignment stores today, and while they'd take it, they weren't hopeful it would sell. Indeed there were HUGE sets of china for sale very cheaply at each place. It didn't sell on ebay, it doesn't look promising at the consignment store, I guess I'm just giving it away. I don't really care, but I'd like it out of my house!

After multiple meetings at school and the consignment visits, I picked up at few things at Al Green's including free toothpaste and shaving cream. Homemade pizza for dinner, and now though I'd like to stay up and watch some Netflix, I'm going to bed.

Not a successful day on the diet; I suspect tiredness from the vestiges of this cold have taken away all my zippity-doo-da.

    If you don't mind donating it, why not give it to a place that can give it to people who need dishes? One of our local food pantries also collects household items -- I did two sets of dishes that way -- they saved them for people who came in and needed a set of dishes. Someone else can enjoy them and you can feel good about them being used. If you itemize, you can also get a receipt.

    I can't remember if you've mentioned looking online... I've heard from friends that replacements.com is a good way to complete or add to china collections, so the opposite might be true of the place. Need to look into it myself, as I too have an used set sitting in my basement :-)

    Good luck with whatever you do!

    My sister sold her set to replacements.com and made some money -- but she was close enough to drive; didn't have to pay shipping.

    I didn't know you could sell to replacements.com! Thanks for the update. I've got LOTS of china!
