    I have 9 oyster plates in same mold with four different flower treatment. How should I sell? Like lots, mixed lot, or all singles or one big lot. They are not super unusual to merit high single price for each, but I think collectors like singles? Thanks for the input. 8 1/2"

    You will realize more if you sell singly.

    Each plate will add weight, so postage will be higher and total sale will be lower. Particualrly if you try to sell all together in one lot.

    Hi,
    Most people want these to display, so singles are better. I had 8 different ones that I used at dinner parties. Seems so long ago, The 70s, when dinner parties were still fun.
