<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 9422492, member: 37"]There hasn't been much cheap thrift store antiques of late. There was a nice Eastlake walnut bedroom set (bed, marble top dresser, and marble top wash stand) for $450.00 but not dirt cheap. Probably should have photographed it for here because it was pretty nice. Otherwise, what I have here are some things that did not sell originally and went to half price. </p><p><br /></p><p>This oak press-back rocker was $35.00 and sat for a few weeks and is now $17.50. Still had not sold as of yesterday. Thought the back most unusual. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]432914[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]432915[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This set of 6 chairs sat for weeks at $60.00. Finally did sell when marked down to $30.00. Even then, they did not sell right away. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]432916[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Lastly, this was reasonable for $5.00 but I really photographed due to what I found under the chair seat. So often we see these cafe chairs here and peg them to the 20s or 30s. This one has a stamped date of 1978 on the bottom of the label (The later written date must relate to something else). I probably would not have placed this quite this late. I probably would have said 50s-60s due to the vinyl seat. Just shows how a classic style gets reinvented for decades. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]432917[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]432918[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
