Other than Replacements Ltd., does anyone know of a company that buys Antique dinner services? [View all]

I have about 140 pcs+or-) of a Noritake/Nippon service that I must move along. I contacted Replacements Ltd. Their offer was insultingly low. As an example, they offered me $4.00 for a covered veg. dish that they are offering for $89.95. Yikes.

I may be moving soon and I need to move this along but don't know who to contact. An old price list of theirs that I have totals over $4000.00 for what they had at the time. I have many more pieces and all are in prime condition. The pattern was started in the late 1800's and discontinued in 1921. I am not trying to make a killing, just $500.00 and a pick up in my town. Cannot pack this by myself. Any ideas about a dealer I might contact? I am in the greater Boston area.
Any suggestions would be a help.
