I gotta bend your ear about setting up an Ebay auction. I have so much goddamn useless crystal that my place looks like Superman's hideout. I have more change bowls than I have change.
Here's a tip when buying wedding gifts: crystal is useless. And although people put china on their list, they don't really want that shit. They just do that because their stupid in laws tell them its "necessary". The simple rule is that if its the sort of wedding gift that one might have given in a Jane Austen novel, you shouldn't buy it.
I just did a wedding two weeks ago. Bought the couple a TiVo. They were thrilled. Great gift. Another good one is side channel surround speakers (lots of people don't have them), and you can't go wrong pitching in with someone else and buying the new couple a case of wine or booze to start a bar.
