<p>[QUOTE="Chance, post: 171379, member: 2900"]Ok maybe at auction a lot more, maybe less. I attend auctions frequently and see things like this go consistently for 50-200, its a big item with no name to it. people shouldn't get emotionally attached to this stuff they are going to sell. Somebody made a comment earlier that said "painting it would be a crime, screw the money"... I agree it is a nice piece of furniture, but if adding paint to it and changing it up a bit yields more money, then do it. If it doesn't sell and sits in your garage for a year, then you lower the price because you just want it out and need the space and it goes for 100.00... that's not good. and if you are wondering, I'm in northern CA[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
