The end tables sound very good as turntable bases, thank you. This is high quality furniture that was built for the burgeoning middle class of the post war boom era, and was the most popular furniture line in the US for almost a decade. The fact that this 55 year old furniture is featured for sale in a MCM estate in Chicago, and is of the quality that it will easily last for another 55 years, is not lost on a lot of MCM collectors. Our 1957 brick ranch house is filled with this "flea market grade" furniture. :yes:
I posted this thread because I would love all estate sales to be forthcoming with the majority of their prices. All other business enterprises take out ads to advertise their prices and stock, so customers can plan for purchases and whether to go here or there. When gas was $2/gallon, and most all estates were concerned with getting product moved, it wasn't a big concern.
But now that a jaunt to three or four estates runs over $20 in gas, and many companies are taking the route of pricing stuff above retail in St. Louis(because the final day is half off), many first day shopping trips are a waste of time and money. Price listings for professional estate sellers are a boon to educate buyers whether to make a trip, and on the first or second day of the sale, or via a phone contact. They put the emphasis on selling the merchandise, minimizing wasted time, and being considerate to buyers.
