I wouldn't be surprised if some of them turn up in Borgin & Burkes.

Marianne:
Hmmm...Do you suppose Mundungus might have sold some things to 
Narcissa Malfoy?  He might have been looking for cash, whereas she 
may have recognized that certain objects had more than mere monetary 
value.  Was is in CoS that something was mentioned about a hiding 
place at the Malfoy home where certain valuables are kept hidden?

Marianne:
I agree with Gerry.  I think Sirius made it quite clear that he 
desired a total disassociation with anything that reminded him of 
his family's past.  And, since Sirius held these objects in such low 
esteeem, they wouldn't represent something of value to Harry.  Even 
when Harry got angry with Dung for stealing the silver goblets in 
HBP, he cooled down somewhat when he remembered that Sirius didn't 
care for them.
