SlowPoke Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 I posted a chair on Kijiji for "best offer". My email is going nuts! It seems it might be a very desirable chair. I have had some lo-ball offers naturally and I have a price in mind. So, I don't want to be the guy that sold his Honus Wagner rookie card for $2.00... how much is this chair worth? It's extremely sturdy. http://london.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-art...QAdIdZ125440345 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishing n autograph Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 not sure but this happens all the time, anytime you say "antique" a lot of collectors come out of the woodwork. I remember when we had an estate sale at my grandmothers we advertised "antiques" and at 8am we had a line up of people waiting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Pull it from Kijiji and put it on ebay.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 (edited) What Wayne said. You have any history on the chair? Era?Who made it? We watch the antique road show and are blown away at some of the amounts. Edited May 4, 2009 by misfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowPoke Posted May 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Thanks for the replies... I figured by posting "Antique" I'd get a lot of interest but I didn't think 10+ in the first hour! I have one guy from Thunder Bay VERY interested. I didn't want to eBay it but not a bad idea given the action on this thing. Might consider that. No info on it other than it came from my Mother that got it from her Mother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handlebarz Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Dang Brian I thought that with the amount of old buggers around here we would have found the son of the guy who made it. There has to be someone here that knows something about this chair or where to find info out about What about Canadian antique road show you can send the pic into them they will be able to help you out for sure Brian. Just think tell the wife that its worth $100 and then use the rest to buy the NEW boat for your self Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTHM Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Take it to an antique dealer and it would be worth 2 x what he offers you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookinforwalleye Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Very nice chair, I am no expert but to me when I look at the markings they look like they were done with a wood burning tool. The chair would make a very nice accent piece, I think that may be where some of the interest is coming from. If you get the right buyer you may get a good dollar for it. How did you come by this chair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Mother gave it to me a few years ago and she got it from her Mother. I would suspect it's nothing to base my retirement fund on but it could buy some lottery tickets in which I am relying upon for the golden years.

ohhenrygsr Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Why are you selling it since it's kinda tuned into a family heirloom. I keep it and pass it down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Not an expert, but have seen many of them go through the auctions. Looks like it has been refinished which will detract from the price. I have seen them sell for as little as $75.00 and as much as $200 depending on the crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adempsey Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Well, if you're getting a lot of emails I'd say something is up. Could be people are just hoping for a good deal OR it might be worth something. I'd say get it appraised somewhere. At the very least look for some stamps on the bottom, any info you can find and Google it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
