<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 121211, member: 37"]Value really is dependent on where you are and your selling venue. Here in podunk Midwest, it would sell for less than $25.00 at auction and under $75.00 at retail. In a big city in CA, you might get $300.00 or more for it at retail. I am sure there are places where the value is somewhere in between. That green upholstery is not going to appeal to everyone so might also be a factor in selling. It is an interesting chair and there should be a buyer out there somewhere.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: Just realized that the upholstery is ripped. The above values were based on good salable condition. In this condition, I would take what you can get. Not many people want to do work these days. This might end up on a burn pile in this condition here where I live. At best, it might bring $5.00 at auction here as a candidate for a dealer who thinks they will re-do it. You might do slightly better in other locations.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
