<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 10267207, member: 6444&quot;]Surely it is a good thing that a charity like Habitat for Humanity gets a more proportional share of the value of the things they are selling. They have the space to hold things for a while, why not use it? There aren’t many buyers of traditional brown furniture now, but the piece you showed is very attractive, in perfect condition even retaining its mirror, and French Louis style that appeals especially to many women. I can see a retail buyer seeing it as an absolute bargain.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don’t get me wrong - I wouldn’t buy it for that price, or even for $20 unless it was an authentic period piece which it clearly isn’t.</p><p><br /></p><p>For most retail buyers, condition is of absolute importance. And most of what Habitat gets needs at least a little, usually a lot, of work. That is the sweet spot for resellers - seeing past the condition issues to the underlying value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
