I'll give you 50p for the lot
I'd be sticking that right in (someone else's) a PC to have a look

When I moved in there was 5 mousetraps and 2 roof tiles -

I forgot about that photo!
Lucky for me my wife is quite reasonable, I can get my appetite anywhere as long as I eat at home.

Now is the time to be buying silver not selling generally. Keep them wrapped in cling film, price made a low in March and the base price for silver could easily double. The antique value is something else but I dont see its going to get cheaper, I wonder if its the full dinner set and is more significant because of that.
Lovely spoon that. There are many factors that will dictate the value. Size, weight, who the maker is and where it was made. I would approach antiques dealers with caution, they will most likely be looking to make profit from you. A local auction house will probably be a safer bet. Most offer free valuations. That said i would be happy to help with a value if you like?

You could easily clean that up by rubbing it with your fingers. The oil on your hands is enough to reduce the tarnish on silver without damaging it.
My dad sells a boatload of stuff like this. Honestly, it's probably not of great value. Stuff like this rarely is; I think it tends to be more about who might want to buy it. For example, is someone collecting a set with that particular crest on.
You can sell spoons on eBay quite easily. Just present it well and you could make a bit of money.

Probably full of pictures of all the victims the previous owner murdered in the house.
I've got an old laptop lying around that I suppose I could use...
The previous owners had boarded up some of the loft space, and it was hidden under one of the boards

He can't, he watched a video on that USB stick and was killed by a freaky girl

You find a USB stick hidden under a floorboard behind a boarded up section of attic space and you decide to just leave it?
It may just be blank and/or totally innocuous but given the lengths to which the previous owner went to hide it, that seems unlikely. If you're genuinely afraid of what it may contain, at least send it to your local police station with an explanatory note.
