New Help with Worth

Hi,
this is my first post but I need some help as the Antique shops around my house have not been any sort of help.
the other night I posted the drysink in the photos up for sale and then received an onslaught of requests to buy. making me realize it might be worth much more than what I thought.

So I am looking for some help on actual value.

Let me be clear I bought this at the Salvation Army years ago thinking it would make a great wet bar (and knowing nothing about furniture), so I refinished it, which i will apologize for in advance.

Here is what I believe I know.
1. It is Old.
2. It looks to be made out of Pine
3. It has been refinished by me and my ignorance.

Thank you all for your help in advance and for taking the time to read my rambling.

Welcome @jeepdude2 .
Good that you asked here. I haven't a clue, but the furniture folks will be along later to tell you all about it.

 

I'd guess more likely maple.

How much were you thinking? If it had a cabinet over it or zinc or copper lined or original paint they can still be worth some money.
As is, i'd guess $100-$150 at auction.

This is indeed a nice old piece and may very well be maple as James suggests. Would think mid 19th century. The door closure hardware and drawer pull are likely not original. Value varies depending on where and how you sell. Here in my semi-rural Midwest location, would expect to be in the $250.00 + or - at retail. Selling locally on craigslist or fb marketplace would generally be a bit off retail. You might do better or worse depending on location.

 

Welcome, @jeepdude2 -- It looks very useful, and people might like it for storage or as some kind of a work area?

Anyway, two of our furniture experts have already commented. I'm not a furniture expert, so that's about all from me.

 

Don't beat yourself up about refinishing. I only worry about original finishes on top-end items past a certain $ threshold.

In your case, I think you did a nice job with great end results.

 

Thank you all for the info and Kind posts.
through some digging and asking my neighbor's dad, it is older, the hardware is not original.
the Sink has served me well, and I will be putting it up for sale as-is for 150 dollars. and see if I get any takers.
I hate to get rid of it, but our family willed us a very nice buffet that will be taking its place.
