Can someone give me a good opinion on this:
I have a 1950 mahogany chest of drawers in good shape with matching high boy in good shape (except for a chip in it) and a full size bed frame. The shape of this stuff is still usable but, after looking on Ebay and Google, seems relatively unwanted by the masses overall. The 1950's furniture is not collectible compared to, say, the '40's or '60's (go figure?).
I'm not sure what to do with it? Try to sell it for a little amount or just give it away? I'd hate to go to all the trouble of trying to sell it and waste my time and money on this effort. I did that in Houston with a desk and ended up just donating it--even tho I had it professionally refinished and added a thick piece of glass on top (good desk, still looked good but just too costly to find the right buyer).
Has anyone here ever sold a 1950's mahogany bedroom suite maybe at a garage or estate sale? Did you get anything out of it? Or is that period of time just such a pain to sell that I should just give it away pronto?
