<p>[QUOTE="MarylandRenaissanceMan, post: 3717166, member: 15199"]About thirty years ago some friends sold me an old dining room set they had. It turns out that at least the chairs have become serious collectibles. They are, as far as I can tell, Niels Koefoed Lis Vintage Rosewood Dining Chairs, Danish in origin. I have attached a few photos. They are probably not in mint condition, but to my untrained eye they appear to be in very good condition. Checking on the web, they seem to be selling for anywhere from about $700 to $1200 per chair.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have six chairs, and I can provide a more detailed description of the minor imperfections I can see on two or three of them.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am not experienced at selling high quality collectibles. I know I can go to a broker, but I am planning to sell directly. I am unsure about the basics on this: I'd like to list on this site (in the "Sell" forum), but I don't seem to be qualified. Where else can I list? How do I assure a potential buyer of the quality? How is shipping, payment, and shipping insurance handled for these kinds of transactions? And whom do I pay to package these professionally, and does the buyer or seller usually assume shipping/insurance costs?</p><p><br /></p><p>Generally, I could use some guidance here on a process that is fair to a buyer but protects me.
