I posted this a while ago asking how much you would pay for this table.

I was going to sell it because of a move, but that didn't happen. Now the move is back on into a very small place and will definitely not have room for this.

I've done tons of research and I can not find one of these in the pink cracked ice pattern. I can find every other color!

My question this time is has anyone used an online appraiser? If so, can you share which one you used? Also, in a little town close to me they have antique stores. Do you think they would be a good place to try and sell?

I just want to get a fair price for it. I've been told this pink is very hard to find and I've found out that is very true!

Ebay has listings for similar tables for anywhere from $350 to $3,500. The price depends on where you are, the table's condition, and how much someone is willing to pay.

Yes I've seen a few on Ebay. I thought about Ebay for a sec but I don't want to ship. I wouldn't even know how! Do you know anything about the online appraisals?

I don't specifically know about people who sell online appraisal services but I expect they'll tell you what I did.

These things will affect the price: Does it have an extra leaf? Four chairs? Is the chrome perfectly shiny? Is the color vivid, like new? Are you in NYC? If the answer is no to those questions, think bottom of the scale.

Yes, I understand that those things will affect the price.
But what I'm asking is how do I know where to start? How much would a perfect one sell for? If I knew that, then I would price accordingly.
