How would you even price this?

I went to a really high end gated community estate sale today and found these goblets and a few other things. They were $10 for the pair. I saw the 925 mark and grabbed them without looking at the makers. When I got to back to the car I realized they were Buccellati sterling. Now if you know your sterling, you know that Buccellati is very high end and expensive. I've seen goblets priced and some sold $500 and up each. I can't find any like these. They have a hammered finish to them and gold wash inside. They are 6.5" tall and combined weight 416 grams. I'm planning on selling them, but don't want to price too high and never sell or price too low and miss out on a lot. Anybody have ideas on what to do with them or could find similar ones?

$10 for the pair... were you wearing a ski mask?

One thing about starting high, you can always gauge interest and accept a lower offer.

Awesome find. I agree with above.

I think I'll start them at a high starting price auction before changing to BIN or best offer. That way if they're worth more than I was thinking I shouldn't miss out.

Here are a couple that sold about 10 years ago. Not sure if the value is up or down since then but congrats on a great pick. I hope this helps.

For 10.00 i would hope you are planning on getting some use out of them!! Try drinking wine from them while watching game of thrones with your wife. Be the King for a night then sell them. I'd have a really hard time selling them because i really like Bucceletti sterling. I think i paid 10.00 for a pair of salt & pepper shakers and was shocked when i got home and looked them up.

I once bought a Buccellati candy dish that was being used as an ashtray! Now, I always look for it...

Whoa! Nice score!

If they where mine they'd go in with the silver I collect, but if you need the cash I'd shoot for $500 each. Good thing you didn't let those slip by.

Awesome! Start high and see what happens

This, exactly this. You don't need our advice!

Amazing score, thanks for sharing. Nothing better than a heavy sterling hit. I love obscure/hard to find hallmarks, or no hallmarks at all.
