I think I would break up the set.  Sell off plates cheap as set and sell canisters and stuff seperate on someplace like etsy.

Can't see many people wanting the whole set but can see someone looking at canister or soup tureen as "cute" or artsy.

I do love soup!

Can anyone loan me money?   I'm a few million short.......

Just got a Star Wars edition R2D2 xbox package at a pawn shop for $140 out-the-door.

Have already been offered an standard xbox and $150 cash for it!

I'd never been to this one. Was just driving buy.  Awesome retail prices.  Really small place.  Guy said they just try to move product.  If someone doesn't pick up pawned items they look at how much they are into it, how much was paid back.  Try to recoup money plus 20-30% but always take offers. Don't have space to be holding retail items.

I'll be back.

I've been trying to figure out the whole figurine (sp?) market.   Like the Clowns and hobo's....
I see them all the time at estate sales and are usually marked cheap because they don't have time to research each one.   But I see them SELLING on ebay for $25-$250.  I can't tell/remember the $1 one from $1000 one. 

Same with Disney stuff.  Market pretty much fell out on that fad but still some pricey stuff out there.
But I don't know a thing about that stuff.  You put two of those "stills" that were so popular in the 90's next to each other and to me they look exactly the same.  But one is worthless and the other is $500....?

I don't know why they do this as I don't believe it is a law here in WA that they must.

I've never seen a law, either.

However, every auctioneer around here has said if they see them, they take them.....so if not in open, don't tell them!

Once taken, King County Police will run to see if stolen, you bring receipt from auction and pass background check and they "may" return them.  Local police it's very unlikely you'll see them again.

They can claim only the last registered owner can pick it up which they don't have the resources to even know who the last registered owner was unless its only been one owner or buyer sent in transfer paperwork.   Or they claim the locker owner owns it because they took before you bought the unit.

Both are BS from a legal standpoint but to fight it would be more money/time than the firearm is worth in most cases.

My opinion is once LE gets their hands on valuables, it's gone.    In some departments it's greed, I think they fund themselves a bit with police auctions.  I'm not a conspiracy guy or anti-police, I have a lot of friends and family in law enforcement, but I do think it happens.  Beyond that small percent of departments I just think the police don't have the man-hours to track down every owner of every recovered item or in this case to determine who is legally entitled to the firearm. 

Ive never worried about it.  99% of units are opened before auction so facility can "inventory". So if there was a firearm....it's gone, you wouldn't know.  Or, if they open it and you see a gun the price of the unit just jumped to a level beyond my willingness to pay because everyone is hoping for "hidden" firearms and/or ammo/accessories.

I think the likelihood of finding firearms these days are slim.  With the shows it seems people are getting items out before they get behind.  And more facilities have a clause about firearm storage, its a no-no.  Lastly, renters insurance won't cover firearms in units anymore (at least mine won't)

I know what it is but I never would have known how to spell it!

This is the Yiddish spelling.....most of us spell it C-R-A-P.

Most all jewelry. 
Industrial kitchen equipment

Both you can make a lot on but compared to retail......
