<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 9603384, member: 10944"]I’ve found that African things aren’t very quick sellers. Good African things, with some legitimate age, that are priced fairly will eventually sell in most cases but unless they are priced ultra competitively they take time in my experience. I’d imagine Craigslist might not have many people looking for African things but you never know until you try. Africa is good at making things that look older than they are. I think it’s relatively rare to find things in America from Africa that are much older than the 60’s or 70’s. The chair doesn’t look older than that to me but that’s a take it with a grain of salt opinion. African stools sell better than a lot of other African stuff. Some of them can look surprisingly good and at home in homes with modern decors. On eBay I’d expect the average better quality African stool to sell between 100-200. I’ve never seen one like yours sell. I’ve never seen one like yours at all for that matter. Maybe it’s particularly rare and would do better. Worth trying an ebay auction if you don’t mind shipping it. Neat thing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
