Selling sterling flatware

In the late 70's, early 80's, I purchased quite a few silver flatware sets and partial sets. They were purchased based on their weight.

With all the activity lately I am thinking of selling, but to who ?
After checking online, of possible buyers, it seems the most profitable buyer would be a sterling silver flatware matching company. I must have some expensive patterns in my collection, which would significantly raise the purchase price and even the more common patterns would sell at least as well as what a refinery would offer, according to the flatware matching service I checked online.

I have had plenty of experience buying silver, but have never sold any at all. Is this my best route for the flatware ????

One last question----- 90% silver bags. Can anyone recommend the best company to sell to ?

    The money goes to the top, eventually. Who do you want to deal with ? The little guy with a B&M store looking for customers to fill orders smaller orders for , or the giants who just want to treat it like a bag of "junk" ? Some of those coins we call 90% still haven't been properly cherrypicked and might never get the chance. It depends on the hoarders out there and who they want to sell to. Do me a favor, before you sell. At least PM me for my phone number.
