How can I sell my silver flatware SAFELY?

There are many reputable businesses that will buy silver flatware.  Check out

But, don't be surprised by what they offer you.  Places that buy this type of stuff are notorious for paying as little as they can get away with.  Plus, you have to pay to ship it to them.  It may not be advantageous for you to sell it.

I would strongly suggest checking out the Silver and Gold Exchange before selling gold or silver to ANYONE. I did a great deal of research, online and offline, and learned a lot about this business. I checked pawn shops, jewelers, "gold parties", hotel "buying events as well as the online buyers, including the "as seen on tv" guys. I found that the Silver and Gold Exchange paid more than anyone else I could find. I liked the fact that they post the prices they pay per gram (beware of the places that quote in pennyweight/DWT) on a live price chart at http://SilverAndGoldExchange.com I also checked out their Better Business Bureau report and found they have never had a single complaint as opposed to HUNDREDS of complaints some other companies have! I recommend them 100%
