- Don't forget some other less conveitional sources--why pay full retail,
- or even discount. People (desparate people) sell their sterling
- all the time. Watch the classified ads of major metropolitan area
- newspapers in the housewares section (usually there is a listing for
- China, Silver, Glassware or something similar). Also, second hand
- dealers and Silver matching services sell at below retail. Most people
- hardly use their sterling and it's just doesn't wear out!!! Auctions
- are also good places to look. I have bought sterling, Waterford Crystal,
- and Wedgewood china through such sources.
