It certainly depends on the item but I agree that no one cares about the junk grammy bought twenty years ago from Sears that was meant to look like the real stuff. At the same time, though, I've been on a real Meissen binge for the past few months. Good china definitely has some value and is beautiful to look at and display
everyone's got something they'll spend extra money on just for its looks. increasingly though, people are realizing that the $150 plates aren't doing any better of a job holding their dinner than the $20 walmart plates
not only that, but the idea that you need a different plate for bread, a plate for entree, a plate for salad, a plate for pasta--it's asinine. gotta be one of the bigger scams of the industrial age. same thing with utensils: you've got your dinner fork, dessert fork, fish fork, salad fork, fruit fork, and on and on. um excuse me, fuck all that noise, give me 1 plate and 1 fork, and call me an uncultured philistine if it makes everyone feel better, but i'm not buying all that crap
It's an interesting market. Some individual pieces on Missing Pieces go for more than an almost complete set would to someone walking into a thrift shop.
