<p>[QUOTE="mark737, post: 3719433, member: 14894"]First of all, asking prices on sites like 1stDibs and Chairish are not a good indication of what items actually sell for. And a word of warning about selling these with an auction house. In my experience, unless you have a rare and highly desirable item, auctions can have some disappointing results. Looking on liveauctioneers.com, I saw two sets of these chairs sold. One set of 4 sold for $900 and a set of 6 (two with arms) sold for $1300. That's about $220 per chair, and then you have to back out the sellers fee, usually around 10-15%. I would suggest listing them first on free sites like Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist, especially if you're in a major metro area. As a private seller, you can also list on sites like Etsy and Chairish too. One nice thing about Chairish is they will handle the shipping for you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
