After the holidays and you take stock of the china, cutlery and crystal glasses used, you might find that you are missing or have broken a part of your set. A hint from me (I count them, the day after a party and if something is missing, someone has to do the dirty task of looking through the garbage bags; Every single time we have found the missing scoundrel there. If you wait til later in the week, the garbage is gone, and these things are expensive to replace – don’t ask how I know).
I recently met the PR Manager from Replacements, LTD whose flyer claims that they have the “World’s Largest Inventory” of old and new china, crystal and silver.

The company was started in 1981 by Bob Page and is not here in Montreal but located in Greensboro, NC. Besides the china, they also collect stoneware, glassware, stainless, and collectibles. The facilities are the size of 7 football fields so there’s room for an inventory of 13 million pieces in more than 300,000 patterns, some over 100 years old! They of course add items to their site daily. They get an incredible amount of calls – up to 10,000 each day. So there’s a lot of people out there who’ve run into the same problem as you. Need cash? – There’s a lot of people selling their sets too.
