What do you think these might be worth?

I'm planning on selling these on Craigslist, but I have no idea for how much to ask. They're all at least 50 years old, but I don't think they qualify as "antique."

Dining table drop-leaf + 3 leafs:

That's precisely why I offered such a high amount right off the bat. Some would call it foolish, but I think if you want something bad enough, it's worth paying more.

You looking to make money or just get rid of them?

$100 for the table
$25 per chair
$150 for the cabinet

would probably get rid of them without too much trouble.

I think parados's estimate is pretty reasonable.

Those numbers or maybe $25 less for the Table and cabinet, and maybe $20 per chair.

So, $350 to $400 total.

I'd tell someone if they had $300 and can take it away right now in their truck, (or take their money and tell them to come back, no refunds) it's a deal.

One less hassle.

I love the sidewalk drawings.

I used to camp out on Craigslist looking for furniture and the prices mentioned so far seem a bit low. Could be different in Ohio as compared to Texas though. That's probably the best way to do it -- keep an eye on Craigslist for a week or two, see what similar stuff is selling for.

I can't tell if the leaves for the table are in good shape.

I am assuming this is some of the 1920s cheap furniture that you see a lot. It's not a true antique but if it is in decent shape the table should fetch $300 and maybe another $150 for the chairs.

You can't buy a new table and chairs for under $500 and this one has character.

Here is a table that is probably from the same time period but not quite the character of yours

You may get more serious buyers if you use the statesman.

Craigslist is great.. dont get me wrong, but we have sold well over a thousand dollars worth of stuff in the last month and the things we list in the newspaper get serious buyers and quickly.
Craigslist fetches the people who want to bargain, or not show up ..

If you are going to use craigslist be ready to bargain like you are at a garage sale. Confused

I don't like bargaining on my garage sale stuff either..

That's helpful, shewolf. (I've got a bunch of stuff to sell, and have been considering craigslist, once I nail down what item stays, and what goes.
