Thanks everyone.

Railman, I think you make a good point about selling the lot. The room they're in is about 60ft by 30ft so as long as someone doesn't want to do a room larger than that, it would work. Any ideas what something like that might sell for?

I have an opportunity to purchase 450 antique tin ceiling tiles and crown molding. Problem is I'm not sure exactly how much any of it is worth so I'm not sure what to offer. I'm probably going to sell single tiles or a few at a time, so I'm mostly concerned with how much I could sell these for at that quantity.

The tiles are 24"x24". Most of the crown molding pieces are about 2ft x 8ft. The building was put up in 1923 and this appears to be the original ceiling, so I believe it should all date from around that time.

Here are some pics.
