<p>[QUOTE="ola402, post: 12140421, member: 182"]It looks like those knives just sold for $101. Maybe because they were made by Wallace (who I consider better than most)? That price seems high and they're tarnished. They cost about $30 each ($20 for the shorter ones) on the R Site. I think they're lovely but I would hunt around if I wanted them to get a better price than a hundy. They would be charming as part of a set to use for a ladies luncheon (if I were that kind of person, which I'm not). I can see them with vintage table linens and old china. In terms of buying behavior, I wouldn't look twice at AS IS and for something like this would pay more based on the seller's item description and photos. Certainly polishing them is a plus. And since they're Wallace I believe the 16DWT to be accurate. If you sell locally like in a garage sale $2 each is probably a good buy and they could be cleaned up and sold on line for maybe upwards of $25 on eBay, more on Etsy? What does everyone else think?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
