Bullshit. It is a matter of finding the right buyer, that you could argue might be difficult, but these pieces are most certainly worth it. I am not going to give them away for 75-100 dollars.
It is finding the right buyer, not a matter of no demand. These are the types of furniture the can and do sell.
I am going to take vid of them then shop around to multiple sources to see what they say.
As the old saying goes, "There's a sucker born every minute." Maybe you will get lucky and find one.
I am not going to sit here and tell you your stuff isn't worth what you think it is. You haven't given us enough to go on for that kind of assessment. What kind of wood? What kind shape is it in? Has it ever been refinished? How old is it? Who made it? Where was it made? What style is it? How big is it? The answers to all these questions help determine value. And yes, supply and demand is part of the equation too. I can buy a nice antique library desk off eBay for hundreds as opposed to thousands all day long. I can buy a new solid cherry Amish made Breckenridge writing desk retail for a little more than a thousand. I can drive 30 miles north of here and have one made for less than than that. So can most other people. Someone is really going to have to want yours to pay what you want. That's where PT Barnum comes into play.
