    Back to your piece..... Being wood-grained, it does not have the appeal of the colored enameled pieces. The big scratch on the front does not help. The, otherwise, good condition is a plus. I feel that this would most likely be a candidate for refinishing. As such, your pricing needs to be attractive enough for someone to be able to make a profit doing so. I don't know what a refurbished chest like yours would currently be going for in the DC area. If you can figure that out, you would likely need to price yours at 1/3 to 1/2 the retail price. You might have to bargain down from there. My gut feeling is that you need to be under $200.00 on this to even get a sniff. I could be wrong.

    Edit: I see the posted refinished chests are priced at $600.00 each. This is right in line with my above thoughts.
