<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 123167, member: 37"]If you can feel the nodes, it is bamboo. As used furniture, the value is what you can get out of it. As Johnny suggests, this was probably a relatively expensive piece when new. This doesn't mean a whole lot on the secondary market. Location and selling venue also have a lot to do with value. Selling at auction or to a dealer would probably net 1/3 to 1/2 what you might get at retail (or even less). Big city locations and Either coast will do better than Middle America Timbuktoo. I could also see this being attractive to buyers in Florida and Southern coastal areas. </p><p><br /></p><p>All this said, here in my Midwest semi-Timbuktoo location, I would probably need to be under $200.00 at retail to sell this in a timely manner. Under $150.00 would be even better. My customers are cheaper than cheap so expectations may be better where you are.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
