My brother used to coach HS football. In his first job all the single coaches had a house together and it was furnished with shitty chairs like this that they absconded from the school. I didnt know they were worth anything.

Unusual stuff there but I wonder about those values you placed on the items with the largest “Ahem.....” forthcoming on the AR3 speakers. 
Posted on 12/6/19 at 11:38 pm to theantiquetiger
But will you get 2,000 for that set of speakers?

I like how the items get shittier and shittier as the post goes on. By the end, it's literally three random pieces of wood.

There were millions of chairs like this in the 59’s/60’s/70’s, but not all made by Herman Miller. You paying for the name

About 1/5 of the garage sales start on Fridays, and about 90% of the estate sales

Those are my bread and butter from garage/estate sales, i.e. the weird candles

So you’re saying I should buy it from you on Marketplace for the $199 you posted it for and I can profit too?

I can find about 200 of those chairs in an abandoned middle school from the 80's

Exactly. Don’t give us your estimated “value,” tell us what you actually sell it for.
That’s some fake arse history channel show move right there.

No one is paying $300 for one of those shitty uncomfortable chairs from middle school.
