Well thanks all. I put in a request for a price to sell my china to Replacements. DH picked it out and I have NEVER used it. Figure I can justify selling it since I never really loved it and DH died 5 years ago next week. I think I have 12 place settings of Lenox Classic Modern pattern and a whole lot of Waterford crystal (again never used, I don't drink). If the price to sell it to Replacements isn't worth it I think I will just hold onto it and give it to DS when he marries so he can have something that his dad really liked. Oh man. Older Waterford - I'd be interested in that! I purchased 8 water/wine pairs back in the mid 2000's. Unfortunately, that's when everything got BIGGER. Cause you know Bigger is better. The water and wine glasses are 'monumentally' tall and hold ungodly amounts of liquid. Who doesn't want to drink out of a glass that you need two hands to hold? <-- ok that's sarcasm... but not by much. My Waterford glasses do look very nice in my china cabinet. I will probably never use them - because my family are Glass Clinkers and the edges of the crystal are NOT meant for 'clinking'.... so it's the Libbey Safety Rim glasses for family get togethers. I'd be much happier with the older Waterford glassware that is sized for normal human beings and SuperSized Giant people. I'd use that for gatherings of 'non-clinkers' So, any of you folks have Libbey Rock Sharpe wine glasses - the pattern's Simplicity. Actually, just about any of the table ware or bar ware in that pattern would float my boat.

My father used to work for Aer Lingus in the 1960s, and would buy Waterford crystal for around $3.00 each. My mother is giving it to me .

Another option is to sell it at a high end consignment shop.
