How much are used Corelle plates worth?

Ergle

Oka. I am having a yard sale and I have numerous Corelle plates, saucers, and bowls. I was wondering how much they are worth used. I would say they are pretty much in mint condition, very few scratches on the ones that I have observed to ask this question with. Please post an answer if you have any clue.
Thanks,
Jared
I don't know exactly how much I have but I think I have all but cups. I'm not 100% sure that I have the saucers but I have numerous bowls and plates. And I have one I'm not sure what kind of plate it is but its straight on 2 sides and round on the other two, sort of an oval... It's slightly large??

Answer
How quickly do you want them to sell. People go to garage sales to find huge bargains. I had a $150 biscuit joiner priced at $50, hardly used, and only had one insulting offer on it. I ended up selling it on eBay. You don't say how many pieces you have, but I'd go no more than about $3-4 per place setting (one each of bowl, dinner plate, salad plate, saucer, and cup). I know the stuff is worth more than that, but garage salers won't generally pay more than that. Hope this helps.

How many dinner plates should I buy?

Jaime

How do you know if you need to buy a set of 4, 8, 12? I'm really not sure how to decide and what factors need to go into the decision. I do not entertain at all. The most that I've done is had friends over and we had gotten take out before coming to my place. Usually if we want to celebrate something then we go to a restaurant.

I cook at home to save money, so I use dishes a lot. I don't want to buy a set of plates only to wear them out within 2-3 years. I need something that will withstand every day wear and tear.

Answer
Dishes don't wear out:) You might get tired of them, but you're not going to wear the china out:) .... Get 8. And, if they're a pattern, you can always get plain white or solid color to mix & match with them later. I have Franciscan Rose dishes; and a set of pink Fiesta dishes, and mix and match them all the time:) ... Anything that's china or pottery will be fine for everyday use. You could also get Corelle, which is made by Corningware, and is shatterproof (good if you have kids)

is silverware made of real silver that you can use for jewelry?(jewelry)?

patsoxcelt

my mom said that she knows a guy that melts jewelry and form s it into different types like what ever you want. i asked for a silver figaro bracelet and she said that she can bring him a fork or two from our kitchen and he can melt it and make it into a bracelet. so is silverware made of actual silver that you would use for jewelry??

Answer
Most of what we call "silverware" is not real silver...it' stainless steel. It's usually called silverware because the first forks and spoons and such were used by the European nobility, who could afford to have their things made out of precious metals.

Even so, some dinnerware is made out of real silver, and can be melted down and remade into something else.

Most people who have a set of real silver silverware don't sell off or melt down individual pieces because the set is a family heirloom, or because missing pieces will lower the value of the entire set.

That doesn't mean your mom is making this up...it's possible she has an incomplete set anyway, and turning it into jewelry would not be a problem for her. But keep in mind, she might also be pulling your leg, and is planning to buy you that bracelet in a more traditional way.
