I have a full set of 12 plates all the servers and extras for a Noritake china set. This set came from my great grandparents and I can't find much on value for this set.

I believe your pattern to be referred to as N17 by Noritake.
I have also seen it called Antique Green Floral.
Replacements.com can show you the retail prices of the pieces (and you can double check me that it is the right set):

There are none sold on eBay in ages so value is up in the air.
Replacements is retail asking price. You can probably expect to get less than 1/2 of that if you sell it on your own.
Replacements pays 1/8 to 1/4 of retail if you sell to them.
Post back how your sale goes! Thanks for sharing this lovely set!
This is a beautiful pattern but, sadly, china such as this is just not on very many peoples 'wish' list and, as a general rule, the group under age 50 are looking for durable dishes that are microwave, oven proof and dishwasher safe. Then the group over 50 are trying to downsize and sell their unused items (that most of their family state 'don't leave this for me' or something similar.
A set may be difficult to sell but then occasionally a set will sell but not usually at a price someone 'thought' it was worth.
Shipping is very costly and dangerous as every piece is fragile and not many people wish to keep a set that arrives with broken pieces.
Pick up only is good but only if you live in an area that is 'into' having china.
Some bowls and platters may sell better if listed separately. Also, small groups will generally sell faster than a large group of pieces.
Your pattern is difficult to research as it does not have a name, only a number and not very many people will know this number.
It just happens that Pghgirl is an expert in finding pattern names but other people will probably just try to describe the color and flowers.
Your pattern does appear to be N17 and was produced in 1918 as that is what the mark on the back indicates with Noritake history.
It seems to be the general opinion of most people that when an item reaches 100 years and becomes an 'antique' that it automatically makes that item worth more money.
You may have good luck with clearing more money if you consider posting on sites like Facebook Marketplace and start price high with consider best offer and wait a few weeks to see if anyone is interested - even $500 if you have several extra pieces like bowls and platters (a teapot is very popular). Make it 'local pick up only' so there will be no shipping involved.
If the set does not sell then consider breaking it into groups.
Be sure to have lots of pictures and a good description.
Currently, sets of china sales are way down and not a lot of people are buying China these days. A lot of people are getting around $135-200 for a set of china like this depending on how many pieces the set has and how many accessories the set has. Some people find it best to break the set down and sell it off in small lots. A set of 4 places can net you around $45 depending on the pattern on the china set.
This style of china is called Noritake N17, It is featured on several sites eBay has a lot of sellers, etsy, and replacements. Sense you have such a large collection , this could go up to $1000 , most of the sights do not have as many pieces as you, only a few pieces can be found and separate from the set.
