    Old brass wall plates ???

    I got a few of the old brass wall plates for electrical outlets and the old push button on/off switches for homes and am wondering has any one sold these on ebay how fast do they sell I don't really want to sit on them or should I just throw them in my brass bucket? they're pretty heavy for the size.
    Thanks

    I've done pretty well with them on ebay, especially the old push button switches and plates. Old house parts in general (doorknobs, hinges, locks outlet plates, etc.) can get pretty decent prices, far better than scrap value.

    I list mine for 7 days and most will usually sell in that time, I have had some I've had to list twice, but not many.
