    While it is very expensive to replace pieces with these services,
    most of this 'value' comes from their need to stockpile vast
    quantities of different flatware to provide the service.  These
    pieces are usually bought by them from coin or scrap dealers for
    close to melt.  Sterling flatware on eBay usually sells for little if
    any over melt, unless it is truly ancient, or an extremely popular
    pattern with a number of desparate buyers bidding.
