>So the ones I've seen have been like well over £350 (€400ish) for a pint size one. Plus they're usually not in my country and ebay wants to scam me even further by adding VAT

Are you talking about a giant stemmed goblet or a 1 pint sterling tankard or mug? I don't remember seeing any huge silver chalices except maybe for antique gilded ones from defunct Catholic or Orthodox churches. Once in my early days of scrapping I saw a hallmarked Georgian English goblet made in 1787, wonderfully decorated and not bespoke/monogrammed either. They were asking $125 Buy-It-Now but sadly I didn't immediately understand what a good deal it was, after researching for 10 minutes I decided to buy it but someone else had snapped it up by then. I have some nice but more modern goblets now and this "pint" beer mug with a capacity I measured at 18 fluid ounces that cost just under $18/ozt asw which was a fair price but I still think about and regret not gobbling up that cheapie old goblet. Anyway I'd recommend patience, don't FOMO into something at retail price, instead just wait for a shitty auction format listing, maybe where they neglect to include "sterling" in the title but show the hallmarks in the pics, and try to get it at closer to melt value. The wait may test your patience but I promise you that good deals get posted somewhat regularly. Also what kind of spoons did you get? Proper ~15cm teaspoons or were they babby demitasse spoons?

>but now i feel like i'm scamming the sellers kek.
That's far better than letting the sellers scam you like they almost always try to do. It's interesting how the eternal Jew has manipulated our morality into feeling guilty over actually getting good deals instead of overpaying and making them rich and fat.
