Where is the best place to sell Lamougr dinner set

15-20 years ago, I would have quickly said "eBay!"...but not so sure I would say that for the current times.... ...eBay is w-a-y different now from back then...

If you are a new seller to eBay, you need to be very, very cautious about listing and selling high value items...

New, inexperienced sellers are always a target for scammers..

New sellers need to be fully acquainted with the eBay site and how it works and be aware of how the payment system works following a sale>that payouts will be withheld on any sales for up to 30 days(time length at eBay's discretion)...until eBay is satisfied that all is well with the transaction...

so do not come here thinking that eBay is a way to sell things and get paid fast because you want/need the $ now...that's not how eBay works...

There are a lot of FB Marketplace groups that have a good following for a lot of different product categories, so you may want to consider that too...

Large expensive and fragile.

I'd enquire with local consignment shops and auctions and also consider listing with FB Marketplace.

The market will be smaller, although an auction house may have an international online presence.

However.

I don't know that brand name.

And Limoges is not a brand, but city in France where many different companies have been making china for centuries.

Some is valuable. Some is not.

Because you are not sure of the brand name, I suspect you have been thinking in technicolor about the value of the set.

Each piece will be marked on the back with Made in France as well as the factory and the pattern name.

Total agreement to the above. A set you are considering on selling would be best locally/ in person. I would be too concerned about the shipping and risk of damage in transit. Plus if anything did happen claims would be very difficult. (For most things fragile CP items need to be in their original packaging to have a chance at being covered. Explained on CP website in more detail.) In person, they see and everything can be mutually agreed upon. Then no hard feelings.....after the fact.
