So I inherited a full (41) set of wedgewood thimbles of the kings and queens of England, I have no attachment to them. Where would one even attempt to sell something like this. It also has the display rack. Collecting them was a thing in the 80-90s

I see wedgewood thimbles on ebay and etsy

If we combine forces and shove one up the butt of each of the Beanie Babies I've not been able to exterminate we can probably net $10 for each combo!

Looks like those sell best as full sets on eBay for $300-500 before they and PayPal take their ~25% cut.

^HA!
I’ve never sold anything on eBay, only here where it’s safe. I guess I could check that out.

Facebook Marketplace, zero fees, you can get cash, sell it as a complete set, don't break it down to individual pieces, tell them all or nothing.

My sister is trying to sell a lot of older collectibles. Things that used to bring in quite a bit and were valuable. She's finding it hard to find buyers. Those kinds of things aren't interesting to younger buyers. She contacted an auctioneer too and the only things he knew would sell was silver tableware.

Would be great target practice at say 100 yds

A beanie baby with a thimble up it's ass, sounds like a great time

Yeah, I had maybe 600 beanie babies. It wasn't worth sorting thru them, but a local church was looking for stuffed toys to distribute to sick kids in hospitals so I got rid of the whole mess and feel good about it. I'm trying to think of somewhere the thimbles would be valuable. I've got a Wedgewood dishware setup for 12 people with all accessories nobody really wants, either. I've hauled that shit for 45 years with no breakage and still have the original boxes. Oh well.

Many of those things that were once valuable and held dear are now unwanted. Antique furniture, decorative plates you hung on the wall, silver services, Hummels, coins and stamp collections and so on.

Young folks aren't interested and don't want these things. Just more clutter.

I'd imagine those thimbles would appeal to a small number of people.

There’s a place over in North Carolina called Replacements, Ltd. Wonder if they’d have an interest in the thimbles?

^ hadn’t thought of them, I got a spoon for moms silverware a decade ago.

Replacement, Ltd is a neat place.

Have you looked into Poshmark?

Also look on Facebook to see if there is a page of people who collect them. If there is see if they allow people to sell collections.
