I found this 30 piece set of Alvin Sterling flatware (1933/Romantique) and will sell it but I don't know how much to charge for it. Also I found this cut glass centerpiece, again it's something I want to sell BUT have no idea it's value. Oh, and no marks onthe glass piece.

Thanks for any and all insight!!!!

I have a complete 30 pc, 5 place settings of sterling. Would I be better off trying to sell as replacements OR just scrap it?
 
It's been my experience that the less ornate patterns don't sell very well. I guess if you have a retail outlet you might eventually get more than melt for it but I doubt it would be worth the time & effort. Assuming you know a reputable refiner you should get about 90% of melt.....keep in mind sterling is generally between 89-92% pure. With silver at $40/troy oz you should get between $32 & $33/troy oz.
