Hi I'm trying to find out what my noritake china is worth... (legendary- belle empress #3980) I have 6 teacups, 6 saucers, 6 bread n butter plates, 6 dinner plates, 6 smaller plates, and 4 soup bowls... Thanks for your help...

Asking prices vary widely on eBay, but unfortunately aren't selling. A dinner plate might be for sale for $10 to $40. I see 4 bread and butter plates sold for $23, but that's it. China buying does increase in the fall, so try around Oct 1.
Selling a set is a shipping problem, mostly, prone to breakage, and you tend to get more in sets of the smaller groupings, like 4 soup bowls or 6 plates.
You could try a local consignment shop. They will just look on eBay too.
