What is Classic Replacements and what do you do?

 
Classic Replacements is a china matching service, also known as a replacement service. This means, say you would like to add pieces to your china or flatware service, but the manufacturer tells you that they've stopped making your pattern (design). Where do you find what you need? That's were we come in. You can check our online database or contact us  for information on your pattern and the pieces you need, and if we have it, you can order securely online or via the telephone. If we don't, you can ask us to look for it  and to be contacted when we get it.


We also BUY China, Crystal, Flatware & Collectibles from private individuals from all over the USA. You can bring it to us or ship it. Click the link for details.

How do you get your inventory?

Finding items that have been out of production for 20, 30, 40 and sometimes over a hundred years is not an easy task. We have dedicated buyers who scour auctions, estate sales, tag sales for the best items at the best prices. We also have independent suppliers who sell to us as well as many individuals who contact us when they decide to sell their private collections.


Since you buy your inventory from previous owners, is it still in good condition?

Absolutely. We do not sell any pieces that are chipped, cracked or have any defects at all. Everything we sell is guaranteed to be in excellent condition, anything below that standard will be so noted and the price will reflect accordingly. Condition is relative to the pattern as older patterns can have some minor wear due to age, but we are insistent on providing our customers with the best quality merchandise possible. We also do not sell any second quality merchandise.

 

Are your items replicas or reproductions? How about second quality?
