selling sterling

Any advice on how to sell sterling and what % of spot to hold out for? I find things occasionally and don't know the best way to sell them. Thank you.

I have found selling sterling pretty hard. The real good stuff I take to some local antique stores, but sometimes even if I try and sell at spot they say that is too much.

I have tried to buy sterling on ebay and even when I get a good deal the shipping costs drive the price over spot. So I assume it is also hard to sell on ebay and make any extra.

A refinery I use charges a flat 10% fee so I take that into consideration when buying silver.
