[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 174909, member: 51"][I]The dealer will get Approx. $2,000. for all of it. [/I] That may be true (...eventually) but they have to pay floor space rent, and it could take months or longer to move all of it. That needs to be in the calculation. At a baseline of paying 35% for heavy furniture resale, as what is common here, that equals $650 almost to the penny. This kind of thing is no longer an easy sale in most of the U.S. This furniture is gorgeous and made to last, no argument there, but as for resale, it's not like 20-30 years ago. Right now young people who are furnishing a home for the first time, are influenced by ease, what's view-able online, they want portable (to accommodate job changes, etc.) and what they see as in fashion. The light, or bold color "modern" look is what is all over the internet. With all things considered, time and needing to move things out quickly, again I think the seller did just fine.[/QUOTE]
