<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 60510, member: 37"]Other than a little chip here and there, the veneer is in good shape? If so, I would think this is worth putting back together. Selling the top and hardware might be less hassle but you probably would not net as much. Now, if you have a specific use for the top and/or hardware that will enhance something else and make it more salable, that might be the way to go. </p><p><br /></p><p>For example if you have a nice iron base that you could use the top on to create a nice higher ticket item, you could sell the hardware separately and come out further ahead with less work. I find that people always want marble tops but they don't want to pay all that much for them. They usually have more value as part of something else.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
