<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 341455, member: 37"]I might add that if you are willing hold this awhile and ship it, you could open the sale to a national market via ebay or some other venue. Dealers that do this do get more for their items but generally have to sit on the items longer and be ultimately willing to bargain some on the price. Surprisingly, this set sold for $6K down in FL with pick up only. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-Oak-Renaissance-Revival-Dining-Room-Set-amazing-pieces-/122850463847?hash=item1c9a755067%3Ag%3ALCUAAOSw0O5aKoMv&nma=true&si=20XIPRaYYTZ%252BkRic4N4aKqxdRME%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-Oak-Renaissance-Revival-Dining-Room-Set-amazing-pieces-/122850463847?hash=item1c9a755067%3Ag%3ALCUAAOSw0O5aKoMv&nma=true&si=20XIPRaYYTZ%252BkRic4N4aKqxdRME%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-Oak-Renaissance-Revival-Dining-Room-Set-amazing-pieces-/122850463847?hash=item1c9a755067:g:LCUAAOSw0O5aKoMv&nma=true&si=20XIPRaYYTZ%2BkRic4N4aKqxdRME%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Nice result that is a bit atypical in that the buyer was willing to pick up and did not bargain (As far as we know).
