You may want to look into donating it to a wedding fund and get a large tax receipt, if you can't sell it....
Not a bad idea. But this set is very nice I think op will sell it very quickly.IMHO
Or he can easily receive a $5,000 tax receipt (a normal price for such items) which can be worth more than what he's selling it for, plus a chosson and kalla will have a beautiful Italian dinning room set.
Why would he need to be in a high tax bracket? At the 20% he'd make more money donating it!
I purchased this for a relative (who did not consult his wife) and she did not like it. he is looking to sell it for the 800 that he paid. table is still in lakewood
