I went yesterday to the reception with tin objects (vase, jug etc ..) I wanted to sell.Apres a long wait .... a woman asked me what I wanted to sell ... and when I told her about pewter vases and jugs, she told me to sell them on the internet or in a rummage sale. I specify that I did not even ask to look or even to take the objects out of my bag.
