Suggestions for getting rid of un-needed, potentially valuable items?

In a few months, I'll be moving out of my apartment and into my fiance's house. As successful 30-something professionals, we have everything we need, and between the two of us, we actually have a lot of duplicate items.
We're in the process of going through our things to decide which items to keep and which items we want to sell or donate, and I have just relized how much STUFF I have! I didn't even know I had some of these things!! I have so many items I don't use - such as ceramics, a set of very large hand-painted vases, flower-shaped salad plates, sunflower teapot, etc - and I'm just not sure what to do with them. Most of these are items I would have *never* bought, and that I don't use. The problem is that most of them were reasonably expensive gifts from dear family and friends. Do I offer pieces back to the person(s) who gave them? Do I try to sell them? If so, how in the world do I figure out what they're worth?
Help?! Suggestions, please?!

I had the same problem when my hubby and I moved in together. I did offer some of the items back to the person who gave them to me, offering some things to relatives who were getting married and moving into their own places. Some items we sold in a massive garage sale. Some items we had sold in a consigment store. You can value your items by looking on E-bay, visiting second hand stores, looking in Kovac's antique books or their website, check out china at Replacements.com. Most items that aren't antique or collectables generally have a starting value of half their original price on the secondary market. Donation values can be found on SalvationArmy.com.
