If you don't have a fetish about super-shiny, no-patina, brand-new
sterling, check out Ebay. I managed to grab a complete set for 12,
plus extras (65 pieces in all) for less than $400 - the key was, they
were engraved with a "D." Too bad, eh? LOL.

If you aren't looking for the this week's most popular pattern, you
can get some really great bargains with great patina in beautiful
styles that will last your lifetime and more. In addition, you can
build your set at your leisure.
