You did quite well if you were able to get anywhere near $100. My experience wasn’t nearly so profitable! Within the last 4 years I have had to settle two estates. The auction house would take almost anything including stuff I thought was completely worthless like small wooden boxes and such. Two of the very few items that they wouldn’t take were a couple sets of real silver plated tableware and multiple sets of porcelain china. They told me those items often wouldn’t sell no matter how low the price was. It was disappointing but understandable since I didn’t want these items either. I gave it all to the Salvation Army thrift store eventually rather than have it just take up space in a closet.
