Confused do you think he typed the wrong buy it now price?

These usually go for about £20.

well you wouldn't be unreasonable

but he's selling it as an antique so may well scoff

He is a TRS I doubt he has his price wrong for him. You have no way of knowing what he paid for it. Im sure it wasn't a score though.

Crikey! Victorian pine furniture should go for a fraction of that.

Someone is chancing his arm.

Seriously.

I've got loads of antique pine furniture - it's still usually really cheap - even in the fancy schmancy pine shop in Berkhamsted it would still be under £200

wossa TRS?

TRS = Top Rated Seller

Exactly laurie

We have a very good auctioneers near us who do a quaterly antique auction. Lots of this sort of stuff and would go for a lot closer to £20 than that asking price.

I get it all the time, advertise something for £150 and et offers of £5.

you never know

sixlostmonkeys · 31/01/2011 18:31

looking at the prices he gets for his items I reckon it is highly unlikely he will accept £20 :)
He seems to know what he is doing.

£20820 worth of stuff in 90 days

I would say he is chancing his luck with that piece. His other stuff seems fairly accurately priced, but that is just ridiculous.

I doubt it is a typo, I think he is just hoping some mug falls for it.

I have seen stuff like that thrown in a skip, and smashed up after it hasnt sold at the auction rooms.

The furniture market is dire at the moment. I have antiques of my mums that are filling up two rooms at my MIL's and there is hardly anyone buying now unless it is a highly unique piece.
