They seem rare. I also thought the sets would be a lot more valuable (maybe they are) but if you look at what sells on eBay there are a lot more singles and uneven amounts selling than there are entire sets. Like one bowl or two dinner plates. It blows my mind. </p><p><br /></p><p>My other set that is not pictured was called "Basket of Cheer" and has a Poland stamp. I know the age of the internet has hurt the value of a lot of things. I'm guessing it is because people have realized how much of it there really. When I researched my set (which is like 30 something pieces I believe) I easily saw that I could make more money by breaking the set up and I really do not want to do that. </p><p><br /></p><p>So I know that a lot of you seem to be getting at there is no way to value sets and stuff but is there a way to place a 'fair' value on something that there is not a lot of information for? For instance, if I post the 14 piece set (or whatever it was exactly) should I ask and be willing to take $300? Is that too much or too little? Just trying to get an idea. I would like a lot of this stuff to go to a good home where it will be appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p>I just do not have the room for this stuff. I dislike getting rid of it but the reality seems to be that is what is going to happen to it regardless. My goal honestly is to sell it but I would rather donate the stuff that has no interest now rather than think about it getting crushed by a compactor and go off to a landfill somewhere.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
