This set was up at a local auction. Would you bid on something like this/ it was hard to know not seeing it in person. Was it likely to be solid 80% silver by the description? Is this kind of thing worth collecting to trade into 99% ? Was this a reasonable price do you think? http://www.auctionblue.com.au/auction.php?id=121017 Thanks!
Also, this just isn't a coffee set... it's a vintage picnic set... a collectible item in it's own (and a damn fine example made-in-Italy too) that may well drive up the price way beyond it's intrinsic worth. Hopefully it'll stay under their radar...but it's definitely worth more to a collector as a picnic set than to you as a silver coffee set.
