what should I price this furniture for?
My husband has an old furniture set (chest, dresser, mirror and headboard) from the 80s. It served as our furniture when we got married and for baby furniture for both of our kids when they were little. It’s sturdy, but very dated. What should I price it for?
I’d like to just give it away, but my husband insists it should be sold. I think he’s being unrealistic, but I’ve never sold furniture before.
Any hints on what you’ve paid for an out-of-style yet very sturdy and well built set of bedroom furniture?
If you’re in no hurry to sell it:
I’d suggest getting a few good photos and placing it on craigslist, maybe $100 per piece if in good condition ($400-500 total?).
If you don’t get a response after one week, close down the ad and put up another one for $50 less.
