[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 1899158, member: 85"]The problem with pricing is that there are so many variables. What part of the country you are in? How will you sell it? Store, on line, garage sale, Facebook, Craigslist, etc. The best way to see what people are willing to pay for an item is to find the same or similar item on ebay completeds. It shows how many were listed, which sold and for how much. Remember they are also paying shipping, and the buyer considers that as part of the cost. If your cup had been in good shape with the saucer. Someone probably would have linked to a similar one. As it was, there was too much wrong with the cup. It doesn't hurt to ask for a value particularly on furniture. Some people might tell you how they would price an item. Some may tell you we don't do values.[/QUOTE]
