<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marie Forjan, post: 521246, member: 147&quot;]I hate to be a bummer, but, I get a lot of local retirees who want to sell their sets of “collector plates”. They bought them via subscription from Franklin Mint or other collector companies thinking they had real value. </p><p><br /></p><p>My mantra is, if it comes with a “certificate of authenticity”, walk away!</p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately, most of these collector plates are of very little value. When owners ask me about them I tell them to donate them to a local thrift and take a charitable tax deduction.</p><p><br /></p><p>This has long bothered me. So many people bought things like this thinking they were buying something that would be something of value to leave to their children. I hate the hard sell these companies use to sell their items![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
