Whatever else, do what makes you most comfortable. Just as a FYI, I've tried to keep up with eBay auctions for these things, and if my quick math is any good, I've seen 4k+ completed auctions totaling $287k... So there are a lot of collectors out there! That sounds good — I’ve just been selling off stuff around my house and wanted to make the most money off of them (thus no reserve and starting below $1).

The mechanism is whitish like you say, seems to have deposits from age. I will leave it alone. It makes me nervous to list it w/o a reserve ... for in the unlikely event that the right bidders don't see it, I have no control over the final sale price. Thanks, Tood.

I'd also suggest listing it at $0.99 with no reserve -- unless you need to make a specific amount of money on it. Bidders will find it (and some will ask you to add an inexpensive BIN price to the listing -- don't do it), as long as you have the right terms in the title. I'd suggest incorporating these words: Peugeot, Dansk, Quistgaard, JHQ, Danish, Teak, and Pepper. There are listings with both "peppermill" and "pepper mill" (along with a few "pepper grinder"s) -- but I'm not sure which is better for attracting bidders. I got my version of this mill (catalog # 826) on the cheap -- someone listed it, if I recall correctly, as a Peugeot pepper mill -- no reference to Dansk or Teak or Quistgaard. Those kinds of auctions are where collectors get good deals. Don't be one of them. :-) Diana, I’m not Mark, but I’d suggest leaving the metal alone (if yours is sort of a whitish-gray, instead of the clearly steel appearance of later mills — those I’ve had success with getting the brownish residue off of).

(also, this (a different one) sold a couple weeks ago for $661..?!? Is this one an especially rare one? http://cgi.ebay.com/Vtg-DANSK-Danish-Modern-TEAK-Peugeot-Pepper-Mill-EARLY-/250855871375?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a682cd38f Also, I would love to ask your opinion on whether I should try do anything to clean up the metal on the grinding mechanism….?
