I paid $102 a few years back for a dessert set (6 bowls & a serving bowl) that went with my old dinner set (scanty remains of mum's & great-aunt's 1940/50's department store sets.) They were in the locked cupboard at my favourite charity shop where the good stuff is kept. Same shop has an annual sale of designer clothes that local (rich) folks donate, tho I don't buy these clothes - I buy from the shop's racks!

Lots of the stuff I collect has come from charity shops & I have a few bogs of unwanted stuff ready to go to the shop next week.
