<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bookahtoo, post: 43532, member: 31&quot;]I got these 3 chairs yesterday - all three for $200. The chair with the wood arms was sitting on the front porch getting snowed on when I first saw it. When DH and DS#2 went to pick them up last night, the young men said &quot;oh, we would have given these away&quot;. Ha, ha - well I&#039;ll remember that next time boys.&nbsp; All three need new foam and to be reupholstered. The round chair really doesn&#039;t look that bad - I was trying to clean it up and it is still wet.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can&#039;t afford to fix them up for resale, but I know who can. I have some customers whose work/studio/sales place is in W. Concord, MA.&nbsp; They do a really nice job of restoring and/or &quot;reimagining&quot; good vintage furniture. They are able to sell stuff for high retail. They buy a fair amount of stuff from me. It&#039;s cheap for them, I make a profit, and I like them. I know they would have to pay someone else to restore these. </p><p><br /></p><p>So - my questions: Did I pay too much? How much should I ask my dealer friends for these chairs? I don&#039;t have to make a lot of money - I&#039;m just kind of thrilled I was able to rescue them and get them on their way to a new life. I&#039;m trying to leave these the hell alone, but should I? Should I put some Restore-a-finish on that wooden arm chair before I take pictures for them? </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]10940[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]10941[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]10942[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]10943[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]10944[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]10945[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Please forgive the horrible photos, and thanks for any help and advice![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
