Antique furniture appraiser blowing smoke.

Hey Brian -

I get it that you're venting on here, but there's also been a lot of helpful advice regarding furniture. I'm willing to bet that if you remove half of the hate from your posts, you'd see that people are actually being nice.

Furniture selling is a tough market and even, as others have said, if you think something is worth xxx, you'd need to find a buyer willing to pay xxx. If you can't, then you've set your price point higher than what the piece is going to sell for. Regardless of the age or condition, if there's not enough interest so that people are competing for the furniture, then you'll end up either keeping it, or selling it for whatever the highest bidder is willing to part with their money for.

At the end of the day, it's not your opinion that counts. It's what that piece is worth to buyers. It won't sell if your expectations exceed that.

Holy crap. No hate going on. We are not talking about Nazis or the KKK. I think you are confusing my blunt disagreement with hate. Not my baggage.

All I was saying is that it is worth more than some would suggest. I have done some research and no, I am not going to give it away for nothing. No I don't know what I will end up getting, but I won't be taken advantage of.
