<p>[QUOTE="antidiem, post: 9456377, member: 30"]It's not that "somebody down south would only be able to pay $10" but more the point of, not many people are in the market for old brown wood furniture down south. I think they'd be a hard sell at $130.00 here, especially lacking the classic tapered legs that were signature to the MCM style in later years. Younger generations are very into repainting everything brown wood now. </p><p><br /></p><p>I recently posted a 1920s table I picked up for ten bucks at a thrift store in good shape to show the interesting bracing on the underside. I only bought it because it was $10 and I had the perfect place to put it. Am not much in the market to buy and sell anything anymore. Downsizing. Almost done. </p><p><br /></p><p>We live in a unique area of high metropolitan growth. There is SO MUCH STUFF COMING IN FROM EVERYWHERE - being thrifted, consigned, thrown away, just what one would expect to see when there is a vast amount of people moving in and out of a large area with building construction exploding! This has caused an ongoing glut in the market of used stuff. Additionally, New Orleans is an old port city, so there has never been any lack of incoming shipments of stuff. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is 100% spot on, thanks Brad.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
