<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 1009110, member: 37&quot;]Pretty much the same here.&nbsp; Consequently, I have to sell it below national market prices (albeit at a profit) to sell it at all.&nbsp; There are quite a few dealers here who buy select pieces cheaply and take them to Chicago for better profit. </p><p><br /></p><p>Case in point:&nbsp; I recently picked up a Broyhill Brasilia china cabinet like this one for $80.00 from a local estate.&nbsp; I sold it to a dealer friend within 4 hours for $200.00 despite knowing it could be worth $1000.00 in the right market.&nbsp; The friend I sold it to quickly turned it for $400.00 to a dealer who drove down from Chicago for it.&nbsp; There was still enough meat on the bone for yet another dealer to buy it and make good profit. </p><p><br /></p><p>I could have put it in my retail space locally for $400.00, have to sit on it for months, and likely have to discount it to get it sold.&nbsp; That is the nature of the market here.&nbsp; I would rather sell quickly at a profit and fill my retail space with $100.00 furniture that I can potentially turn 10 times in the time it would take to sell the one piece.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://p1.liveauctioneers.com/5737/125551/63910231_1_x.jpg?auto=webp&amp;format=pjpg&amp;version=1533589475&amp;width=375" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
