<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 11133870, member: 37&quot;]Chat GPT and other AI tools are notoriously wrong despite their answers being adamant.&nbsp; Have found another example here....</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://shop.catesauction.com/online-auctions/cates-auction-realty-co-inc/four-vintage-wood-chairs-6259248" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://shop.catesauction.com/online-auctions/cates-auction-realty-co-inc/four-vintage-wood-chairs-6259248" rel="nofollow">Four Vintage Wood Chairs sold at auction from 15th May to 12th June | Cates Auction</a></p><p><br /></p><p>No attribution as to maker.&nbsp; I guess my question is, why does it matter who made them?&nbsp; They are definitely not by a famous maker, nor are they of particular scholarly or antique interest.&nbsp; They are just used furniture at this point and, if the value from that auction is any indication, of little value.&nbsp; Most likely date to 1960s or so and worth what you can get for them.</p><p><br /></p><p>For the record, I do think these have more value than the $10.00 acheived for that set of 4 at auction.&nbsp; However, it just goes to show how value is is very much subject to time and place.&nbsp; Here in my semi-rural Midwest location, I would be lucky to get a $100 for the set at retail.&nbsp; Truth be told, I would probably price the set more in the $60-80.00 range.&nbsp; It really would depend on what I had to pay for them but I could conceivably see buying them at auction for that $10.00 or so.&nbsp; That is the nature of my market here.&nbsp; You might do better in or near a large city.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
