where can i find prices on used bedroom furniture 11 pieces?

Q. I have a 61 yr old painted bedroom set antique white and gold includes a cedar chest , two lamps with bust one female one male; two end tables glass top covers with drawers ;a high boy dresser 6 drawers; a low boy dresser 12 drawers; a wall miiror framed; head board and footboard and rails al made from solid mahogony real wood perfect condition I need to know how much retailers sell for so i can get fair vaule for the set
i'm in philly Pa if that helps I just want ideas of what retailers are seeling similar bedroom sets for I know they are going for at least $2000 as i seen online this is solid wood mahagony with painted finish all brass fittings a real cedar chest that alone is worth at least $500 sure i can just take pictures of it and put it up on craigslist
or put an ad in my local paper but without knowing the retail value i will be cheating myself or price it too high
I really have to say for the 11 pieces at least $1000 total is fair this kind of wood furniture today would cost you $10,000 for a set like this I dont even know how the buyer is going to get it out of here each piece is large and heavy even without drawers in it the cedar chest weighs at least 100 lbs
IF i cannot get at laest $500 for this set then i will sell each piece seperately which is harder to do many people want a matched set
not sepearte pices O well hope for more answers


Answer
Look on the Craigslist or Kijiji listings in your area under "furniture for sale" and see what prices people are posting for old furnishings. Without seeing your set or knowing where you live, it would be hard to exactly assess the value. You could take photos of it to a used furniture or antique dealer in your area and ask what they would buy it from you for. Since they would offer you a wholesale price, you could probably double that to sell directly to an end buyer yourself.

Unfortunately, that age and style of furniture you describe is not very popular any more -- I doubt that you could get more than $400 for the entire set, and then only if it was in perfect condition.

what bedroom computer speakers £200-£300?

looked at bose companion 5s, but also audioengine 5s. any other recommendations? this is for quite a small room just for music (a bit of xbox). I dont play music massively loud, I want good sound at lower volumes. Is this kind of money worth it? advice please! thanks.


Answer
First off, Bose is a bit of a rip off. Second, AudioEngine is EXCELLENT for the money. I'm listening to a pair of AudioEngine A2s right now... and I previously owned a Bose Companion 5 system in their place. Needless to say, the Bose system hit the trash.

That said, I would highly highly highly recommend the AudioEngine, however I've heard that their A5s overheat sometimes. This does not cause damage because they automatically turn off, but that can be annoying. The A2s do not have this problem, and it has never happened to me.

What I would recommend instead of the A5s would be AudioEngine's P4s and one of their N22 amplifiers. This way, you get excellent sound, but you don't have to worry about overheating issues. If that is a little pricey, check out other desktop-sized amplifiers like ones from NuForce...

If you can find an affordable, quality amplifier to put along with AudioEngine's P4s, that would be the better way to go. I'm not saying their A5s are bad, they're excellent... I'm just saying that they tend to overheat sometimes when driven hard and that would annoy me personally. Because you say you don't play your music loud, that may not be an issue, so they might work out after all.


Either way, if you're getting your speakers from AudioEngine, you're getting a winning set of speakers there. My next favorite speaker under AudioEngine would be JBL's Control series of speakers, which are around the same price, and offer sound almost as good as AudioEngine.


Good luck

Also, I mentioned it before, and I'll say it one last time... avoid Bose. All of their stuff is terribly overpriced and underperforms for the price. Remember, I replaced a $400 set of Bose Companion 5 speakers for my $200 AudioEngine A2s... I have heard better sound in a $50 package than what Bose puts out in their "best" speakers.
