<p>[QUOTE="Chance, post: 171661, member: 2900"]Its really tough here in CA right now for me to sell anything larger than a nightstand. It seems like everything has dried up and no one is buying furniture like they used to, maybe its just the time of year, I don't know. All I know is I have great antique vintage pieces that I have priced really inexpensively and people are not biting.</p><p><br /></p><p>Years ago I made a lot of money selling Danish Modern furniture out of my apartment, I live in the central valley and people would come from The bay area every weekend to purchase from me, now nothing. It seems people are only buying what they NEED, not what they would like to have. Simple dressers, Lawn, mowers, and appliances are selling like crazy over here right now, all NEED items.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry to carry on but its just so frustrating, I am looking into painting all of my items and doing the shabby chic thing which I'm not crazy about but I think its the only way right now. All of these DIY TV shows have people losing their minds over painted REAL wood furniture, and that's to bad. But I need to make side money so It looks like I have to give people what DIY TV tells them they need.</p><p><br /></p><p>By the way that is a beautiful dresser, I see some like that in thrift stores just they are not painted priced from about 80 -150, I'm not sure if they are Bakelite or not but Ive seen very similar. Around here thrift stores are overloaded with furniture, there is one in particular I go that sells all of the furniture for 5.00 EVERYTHING, that table and chairs I have posted that I needed Identified was only 5.00 for everything.
