    Hello, thank you for reading. I am new to the forums. I love antiques but know very little. Over the past couple of years my partner and I have been bidding on various estates and estate lots, we flip houses and often I have to resell some of the items (or we donate them if they are in decent condition as well). Anyway, in a recent estate we purchased this dresser was included. My mom who knows a bit more about antiques is convinced it has value, so before I throw it up on Craigslist I thought I'd try to get some feed back. Any info you can provide is greatly appreciated!

    It doesn't sell for a lot here either, unfortunately, but it's nice stuff.

    What Johnny said. I had a very similar one that I sold for $365.00 about 10 years ago. Prices have dropped quite a bit since then. Here in semi-rural Midwest, you might be able to get $250.00 at retail on a very good day. You might do better in large cities or other higher price venues.
