This article will explain the best way to sell your sterling silver flatware. While it is easy to find information on the internet, it can still be confusing to figure out just what to do if you have a set of sterling silver flatware that you want to sell. Of course, you want to be assured you’ll be getting the most money possible. By following the steps below, you can finally get that old wooden box of sterling silver flatware from your closet into your bank account.

There are different reasons for selling sterling silver flatware. Perhaps you inherited the set through generations in your family, or maybe you’re not even sure where the box of sterling silver came from. These days most families are using regular stainless steel flatware for daily use. People don’t have the time or energy to polish silver anymore, only to be used for holidays and special occasions. Polishing silver is messy – I know my kids have no interest in how shiny the forks are at Thanksgiving dinner. Storing bulky sets of sterling silver is no fun either. Most of us have been stuffing the wooden box of silverware under our beds or in the back of the closet for ten years or more, without using it more than a handful of times. With rent prices up and space at a premium in the U.S., selling that old set of forks and knives to get some cold hard cash sounds pretty good, right?

So how? And where? Are you supposed to research the manufacturer? Do you need a special scale to weigh silver? How do you get the most money for sterling silver flatware?
