[brendan1414]

So I was at a rummage sale, and i was at the front doors when they opened, and i rushed in with everyone else. Afterquickly looking around i see a picnic basket filled with these Heisey flamingo pink dishware sets, marked with the H in the diamond and all. Priced at $50 for a 24 piece set (8 plates, 8 salad plates, and 8 cups). I boguth it all for $42 after some really difficult bargaining with the ladies.

Here's the whole set:

So my question to you is, what would you use as a title for these, or even a little write up on them, and maybe an idea on price. I was thinking buy it now of $174.99.

I can tell you that the pattern is called Empress and yes the color is Flamingo. Nice set. I think that the market is really bad on depression glass right now, with the exception of certain rarities. Flamingo is a common color for this pattern. Moon beam is a hard to find color, Cobalt and Alexandrite are definitely rare ones. Also I noticed you have the plates listed as 7 1/2", the don't come in 1/2 inch sizes it either 7" or 8", so you may want to edit that. This is you isn't it?-- http://tinyurl.com/5spm2a5

All you can do is try. Glassware is a tricky thing sometimes. It all depends on who's looking for what at any particular time. Sometimes a lower price will encourage people to bid though. I have a few things (glass and china) listed right now that I started at a low price but it was still double or triple what I paid for the items and they are getting bids. I also have some things listed that are way below actual replacement value that aren't getting any bids, so go figure.
