Silver cutlery, goblets

Hello, I am new here.

I would like some advice please on where is the best place for me to sell my Silver plated cutlery and goblets. These are all very old and some are discoloured a little. I have recently acquired these from my grandparents, and not exactly sure what the value is but have seen some similar pieces on eBay. Would trying to sell on here be best? or maybe ebay? I do have pictures if anyone would like to look. 

 

Thank you for reading, 

Paul

You click-baited me there!

When  I saw "Silver cutlery, goblets", I thought the thread was going to be about Silver cutlery and goblets.

Turns out is it about silver plated stuff.

It's rather like being offered a Ferrari, but fiinding out it's a Fiat.

Here is a pile of hallmarked sterling silver cutlery:

Much of if is George III or William IV, but probably not worth much more than its silver content.

Most silver plated stuff is likely to be worth very little.

Most people seelling any onebay are likely to be asking about 10x what it is worth.

Sorry if most of this sounds rather negative, but it is an honest, and probably accurate, opinion.

I've never seen the point of silver plated flatware. Yes I know at the time it was 50% keeping up with the Jones' and 50% finding an alloy that wouldn't rust or cause a metallic taste when being eaten from. However, once stainless steel came along, it really should have killed off plated silver entirely.

Silver plated flatware: none of the value inherent to solid silver and a real b's*rd to clean.

We done for calling it flatware.

Technically knives are cutlery, whereas forks and spoons are flatware.
