>what are your nuanced opinions on collecting silver plated stuff?

Some plated stuff is valuable in its own right, people collect high quality antique silverplate so if they are attractive well-made 18th or 19th century pieces, or made in patterns in vogue right now they're worth getting if priced right. At worst you could sell as copper or brass scrap to a junkyard so if you see a 5lb platter for a few bucks you really can't go wrong. I got this huge heavy Sheffield plate meat dome for $4 last year, probably several ounces of silver in it and as a collector item or something to mog plebs with at dinner parties it's certainly worth more than the cost of a crappy hamburger.
