We ended up not selling it but kept it in the family instead. I'm often amazed on TOTV what folks will ask for items.

BUT in answer to your question there's a consignment store in Ocala that's "fine" and is located next to a health food store. It's on Silver Spring, I think. Can't remember the name.
I agree. A friend bought a furnished Premier home and wanted to put her Grand Piano in the dining room and tried to sell the beautiful dining set that came with the house for something NEAR it's worth.. She got very little for it.

I wonder if someday dining at dining tables with cloth napkins and matching dishes saved for good occasions with be laughed at as quaint old customs.
