What's the value of this?

Hello folks ,

This is my vintage cherub gold tone lamp that i wanna sell. The lamp is in great condition for it's age with no cracks or chips & with the original lamp shade. I'm from Newark, New Jersey. So please suggest some places/shops (not online) where i can sell it for decent price.

Here are some more info about the lamp.
1) Measures about 42.5" high in total height from base to top of lamp shade

2)Original lamp shade that measures about 14" wide & about 17" high

3) 1 light bulb socket

4) 4 candle-like holders

5) Heavy metal and marble base

 

Are we playing "The Price Is Right"?

 

Hi Achy.

Most folks on this forum are reluctant to give out values since there are so many aspects that go into determining one. The main one being that you really need to have the item in hand. It also would depend on how you are planning on selling the lamp. It will also depend on where you live as something that will not sell in one part of the country would fly off the shelves in another.

Sorry. The way Achy worded the question, Bob Barker and the theme music popped into my head and it made me laugh. I wasn't being snippy.

 

This is 70s and out of fashion most places. I probably could not give it away here in my farm country Midwest location. In CA, it would probably fly off the shelf for decent money.

 

my guess.....$ 318.57....before lunch.

 

It would be snatched up at our local flea markets!

 

Thanks for replying. I guess i could have worded my question better. Please check the post again (i edited it) & suggest me some places/shops where i can sell this lamp for decent price.

 

You have to understand the people on the board are from all parts of the world.
Knowing what shops are available in NJ and what kind of level of competence and honesty is there, is impossible for most of us to know.

 

& what SHOP...is goona give you full price anyways...???

Only the end user.....would pay top dollar !

 

No you are not getting my question. I am just asking where I can look to sell a vintage lamp like this .please suggest a proper place or market type where I can sell vintage items of these type .

Please try to understand. These vintage lamps are of my grandfather. But now he remains Ill and want to sell these items to someone who can take care of these items which he has cherished all his life .And I have included my place as ppl can know where I am located and suggest me according to my demographics as I am located near New York .And many ppl know many facts about this great city .

Please help I wanna sell it asap.

 

How about craigslist? Being near NYC would probably get the right exposure. I realize that you said not on-line but you would probably net the most selling on ebay or CL with local pick up.
