[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can certainly try to sell it. Let us know how that goes. I’m not even being funny. I’d be interested to hear if anyone buys it. There’s a free bedroom set pretty much every week on my local freecyle page and most aren’t 20 years old. [/quote]

My cousin actually sold her bedroom set.  I don't think she recouped much, but someone came, picked it up, saved it from the landfill, and she even got some money back.  Lots of newer furniture is just pure crap, so there are bargain hunters looking for quality stuff.

FWIW, when I bought my first apartment, I bought a used bedroom set - teak, MCM.  People were getting rid of old and outdated stuff left and right in favor of the modern formica styles.  I still have that set.[/quote]

This is what I mean, it’s solid wood of very good quality. Classic sleighbed. [/quote]

Right. We have established this is solid wood. It is also very large, and very heavy. It will not fit in a starter home, which is what second-hand furniture buyers are buying. If you don't want it, why should someone else?[/quote]

People sale all kind of stuff including used clothing, so what is different about furniture?
The only issue is the price OP is expecting.[/quote]

Um, because if I buy a gently used handbag on Poshmark, it will be mailed to my front door, and will fit in my closet? Instead of me having to haul it and it not fitting in my home? What AREN’T you getting about this? No one wants a CHORE that DOESN’T FIT IN THEIR HOME.[/quote]

I don’t even get the Poshmark handbag transactions.  The bags aren’t much cheaper than a new one.  [/quote]

Collectors want specific bags.  Often they want to replace one that has been ruined.  They don't want what TJ Maxx has right now.  They might want a vintage, hand sewn purse from the 70s.[/quote]
