FAQ for Tabletop Classifieds
8. October 2007Classified Adssilver0 comments
How do I list an ad?First, you’ll have to register which is quick and easy. See the “Register” link on this pageWhen logged in, first click on the category in which you want to list an ad. Click on the link “Submit Ad” at the top of the page. This will take you to a screen with the fields you need to complete. When finished, click on the “Submit” button at the bottom of the page.I need to change something in my ad. How can I do it?If you need to change or add something to your ad listing, log in and go directly to your ad page. At the top right corner you will see a link “Modify”. Click on that to edit your ad.Do I have to add an image?No, you are not required to add an image, but it is unlikely you will receive many inquiries without one. This question is best answered with a question…”Would you consider buying something online without the benefit of an image?”How will interested buyers contact me?They can contact you through your ad. The classifieds system will send the inquiry to the email address you used when you registered. The buyer does not see your email address until you reply, so be sure to only reply to serious inquiries.How long will my ad run?Your ad will run for 60 days. Approximately 15 days prior to expiration, you will receive an email notice indicating that your ad will soon expire. You can login to your account, go to your ad page and click on the link “Prolong Ad” to renew it for another 60 days.How do I price my item?If you are unsure of a price, you can select the option to accept offers. You can also include a price and select to accept offers. If you wish to include a price but are uncertain of the amount, you can try to establish a fair market value based on recent auction and retail sales.I have an appraisal. Can I expect to get this amount?It depends on what type of appraisal you have and when it was done. The most common type of appraisal is for insurance/replacement value. This is not the amount you can expect to realize. This is the amount it would cost you to replace it at the time the appraisal was done. It does not establish Fair Market Value.An estate appraisal establishes a fair market value based on current or recent wholesale and retail information. It should include research from geographically diverse markets where value can be higher and lower. If you have an estate appraisal, it should be fairly recent in order to be used as a pricing guideline. A liquidation value appraisal for silver is generally determined by weight per Troy ounce at the current market, commonly referred to as “melt value”. This is usually the lowest appraisal value. If you include an appraised value in your ad listing, be sure to indicate what type of appraisal it is - Insurance, Replacement, Estate, Liquidation, etc., and the date it was completed. If you are unsure about the type of appraisal, contact your appraiser for more information.I don’t know my pattern name. What should I do?If you do not know the pattern name for your china, flatware, etc., please include a closeup image so that we, and potential buyers, can identify it. As we spot unidentified ads with the appropriate images, we will update your listing to include the pattern name, if applicable.My ad has been running for more than 30 days and I’ve had no inquiries. Why?First check to see if your email service has filtered any inquiries to your junk mail folder.Next, look at your ad - did you include an image, enough details, a reasonable price?The more details you include, the better. Many potential buyers will not take the time to ask questions for more information and some will not respond to an ad without an image.If you have a question not answered here, please post it in the comment section below.General Ad Listing Advice:For Silver and Silverplate: Clean and polish so that you can thoroughly inspect the condition. Tarnish can hide damage and wear. If you list it tarnished, expect a much lower price - e.g., liquidation value or less.If listing a flatware set or service, please indicate which pieces are included in each place setting, and list any additional serving pieces. Also include the lengths of each type of piece because this can vary in some patterns, e.g., Fork 6.5 inch, Knife 9 inch, etc. Many patterns have 3 or more sizes of dinner/place forks and knives.

This service is entirely free, no commissions or listing fees to pay.Briefly, here’s how it works:You list your silver or other item for sale at your asking price at Tabletop Classifieds. If you are unsure of an asking price, you may leave that field blank and select “yes” to accept offers. This may generate multiple offers. We strongly encourage you to upload an image of the item for best results.

We are contacted daily by customers wanting to sell their flatware, holloware and other silver items. We cannot buy all of them so this gives individuals an outlet to reach thousands, if not millions, of potential buyers. Additionally many customers are searching for very hard-to-find items so placing an ad for them in Want Ads may aid them with finding these items much faster.Inappropriate ads will be rejected as will ads placed by anyone we determine to be abusing the system, Please contact us and let us know if you have any problems or questions.
