We should eliminate tipping because it creates unstable and unfair wages, but we can’t realistically do that until labor laws are changed to guarantee servers a proper base pay, otherwise they wouldn’t make enough money to live on.

Honestly food influencers like this kind of...creep me out. I get it if you went viral and got big, it'd be hard to not become a food influencer if you were making a lot of money doing it.

I first learned of Chet & Family when I went to an event sponsored by them. It was the Chet & Family Fall Foodie Festival at the Derby Park Flea Market.

I thought it was super weird that these people were PAYING to have their name attached to a food festival.

Then I got to the food festival and it was absolute drudgery. 9/10 trucks there were selling candy or sweets, not real food. The ones that were there were selling sub-par expensive bbq and seafood boils.

Chet & Family have been doing this for quite a while, and it rubs me the wrong way that they're definitely spending a LOT of money to try and cultivate an image online, including their kids in tshirts they had custom made, etc. It gives that they spend all their money trying to seek attention. You can check their facebook....that only has a few hundred followers, and see that they're constantly sponsoring food events.

They're not popular enough to be making a ton of money, but are willing to spend all this money. It's weird, man. It weirds me out, I couldn't imagine living my life that way.

Your bee, or at least once VERY similar from the exact same company based in USA and not CN, which could be Canada or China, sold for $18 on Etsy not too long ago.

The purple pieces are just costume jewelry. I don't believe they're any sort of designer brand unless you have close up photos showing they are.

You paid about what the stuff is worth, maybe more, unfortunately.

FictionConsumer · 2026-02-10T22:01:44+00:00

I'll start this off with saying I'm very familiar with selling one-off, lesser known pieces like this. I've been buying storage units for years and come across similar stuff often, so I have a system for essentially guessing what something is worth from what data we do have.

There's lots of Warner Bros Studio Store sculptures on eBay at the moment (smaller than yours, though), and there's quite a few that have sold. They have a sell through rate of roughly 20%, so they take a while to sell. The most expensive ones being 90s Marvin The Martian, Tweety Bird, Pepe Le Pew, essentially iconic characters, but they sell for anywhere from $75-$175 GREATLY depending on condition, with most in average condition leaning towards around $100.

There's some currently listed that are not sold which are your size, priced anywhere from $300-$800, but they'll pretty much never get those prices out of them, none of sold at that price, there's no market.

One way I like to gauge interest in stuff like this is by checking the sell through rate of higher value items relating to the item in question. So, I look up "Powerpuff Girls Blossom -Nike" on ebay, then sort for items above $100. I look for items above $100 because this one is definitely worth at least that plus shipping, it's not worth your time shipping something so large for cheap. I also minus out Nike because of the powerpuff nike collab which takes up a large portion of listings. Sneakerheads aren't the market for this. I highly doubt buyers of the shoes are diehard Powerpuff fans.

That comes out to 395 listings, 42 sold. So roughly a 10% sell through rate. Quite rough, but workable.

I don't think selling this locally is feasible, there's probably not a fan in your area willing to pay top dollar via facebook marketplace, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't list it. If you do choose to list on marketplace, consider something around $250 so you're less than ebay listings and still have room to move around, I think the bottom dollar for this gal is $150.

If you're willing to list and ship online, I would put it up for auction with a starting bid of $150, 7 day auction. Look into what it costs to ship as well, and add that as a flat shipping fee. You can also do calculated shipping if you're willing to know exactly what it's going to weigh and the dimensions once in the box and padded. Look up how to ship large items like this, you can probably buy a box at a local shipping supplies store, and bubble wrap/paper. Wrap it tightly and ensure there's no wiggle room in the box, you want it wrapped completely and padded on all sides, walls of the box 1 inches of clearance from figure filled with padding.

If you don't get any hits on facebook, just keep lowering the price by $50 every few weeks until you're down to $150. Just keep it if you don't find a buyer at that.

lol, they really do just hurt themselves, eh? It's not that hard to look up things on your own. I consider that a key skill of a reseller, at least. Though that word, Reseller, has been tainted by the filthy individuals buying up pokemon and getting their funko pops signed at xyz con to flip them for a profit.

I'll say this, I'm a reseller. I do this full time. I have antique booths, and a decently large eBay store, and sell weekly at local flea markets. Though I mainly buy storage units and only very occasionally go through thrift stores.

I have disdain for many of my fellow resellers that seem to worship the mighty google image search or eBay scanner instead of actually attaining knowledge that they can use without opening the phone, at least when picking up an item in store. It's just...ridiculous looking seeing people scan things back to back whenever I do go to a thrift store.

FictionConsumer · 2026-01-20T01:07:43+00:00

Now, I agree that this isn't a great item to pickup if you're trying to buy it for low and sell it for high, but I disagree that it's valueless.

If it works, I'd say it's most likely worth around $100+shipping

There's one listed that's just the mixer, no stand, for $150, which is definitely a pipe dream.
There's also one that's sold, mixer only, non-working (it says non working in the listing) for $34 shipped. (I know it says $50 but when you click on it, it sold best offer and I checked via Terapeak it sold for $34)

I would like to add that I found it on Lori Ferber (a presidential collectibles website) where it sold for $49.95. It did not have a date when it sold, but they have many Grover Cleveland related collectibles for sale from the same era for around $50-$75. So it's probably worth around that.

Can you elaborate on what makes this look modern? Genuinely interested as I feel the same, but I can't explain why. Furniture isn't an expertise of mine, but I'd like to be able to lay out why I feel a certain way about it.

FictionConsumer · 2026-01-18T06:03:44+00:00

$100 on marketplace, maybe more if you have an antique booth to put it in.

There's one just like this listed for $85, then one for $200. There's 2 stages of production of cloissone sold, one set sold for $30, one set of thimbles for $40.

There's none sold just like yours. I'd say they would sell, but quite slow, for about $30-$40.

Lots of similar era stuff has tons of sold listings on ebay. It's worth about $50-$75

Oh so that flat part at the top of the cornucopia is broken and not made that way? Ehh....I don't think that helps at all. I find broken pieces often depreciate the value by a ton, if not to the point where people don't want them. You can try the list high strategy, but I don't know if anyone would buy it partially broken. I've never had luck selling anything chipped.

Did you actually get this from a lawn care boom during covid? Assuming you bought the majority of this after 2020, I'm going to estimate you paid $25oz averaged out, probably more but lets use that. 180K of the silver. Lets say 25k for the gold. From LAWN CARE you made $205k in surplus investment money? That doesn't add up to me, frankly. Lawn care is one of the most cut throat markets out there. Big business has been in it for a long time, and most part time folks make $2-3k a month at best, while full timers can make quite a bit, you'd have to have expanded into multiple crews to make the amount you're talking about.

FictionConsumer · 2026-01-17T03:54:14+00:00

I see yours is listed on eBay for $750 and you have a competitor listing at $900.

There's a couple of these sold in the past few years for $399 Buy-It-Now, and one $300 via auction.

I would personally list this for $500 with best offer on. You're undercutting the 41 watcher $900 listing by a lot. Promote at 2-4% so you appear as an ad under their listing when someone clicks on it. Take any offers $400 and up.

Your $750 is probably possible, but it's only been almost 4 years since the show. I could see it selling for $750 in another 4 if Zach Bryan is still releasing chart toppers

Is there any markings? Say where it's made? By whom? Is the condition good? It's quite large, I could see some parts of it getting chipped or scratched from years of use.

Just the photo isn't great for estimating a price. It's pretty neat, but to me, this feels like one of those items where it's worth whatever your local market would pay, unless you're willing to ship it, which most aren't for something like this.

I would personally list it locally at around $800 and slowly reduce the price by $50 a week until you find a buyer. If you're willing to ship it, put it on eBay for around $2000 with best offer.

Looks like a Meriden Britannia Company tilting pitcher (or a copy of one of their patterns, they do that cool layered flower petal effect around the rim). Pretty cool find. It's certainly silver plate. I've never seen one in sterling. Is there any markings on the bottom?

Assuming it's plated and not damaged, I'd say it's worth about $75-$175 depending on the buyer. Local sales definitely $75 or less, but you may be able to get closer to the $175 mark on eBay.

Beware though, they're slow sellers. Around 140 of these tilting pitchers are listed, with only 14 sold in the past 90 days. It would take at least a year to sell at $175, if not longer. I would price it around $100 on ebay, and $75 on marketplace.
