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

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.

Ideas for a 4 year old boys bedroom?
My son is into Cars, Diego, Batman, and various sports. Any ideas on inexpensive ways to decorate his bedroom? Any of the above themes are open to suggestions :)
Answer
If you want to save money then you should paint the walls use solid colors, buy solid colored bed sets and curtains that go with the theme that you are using. For example, if you use Cars go with a red and blue color scheme. Buy bed sets and curtains to match but don't do too much of one color. Maybe paint the walls blue, red curtains and red bed set. You can then buy some Cars wall stickers. They come off easily so when he outgrows it you can just take them off and add different ones. Shop at Dollar Stores, eBay, yard sales and thrift stores.
Cars Walls Stickers

You can find them cheaper at dollar stores and Walmart though.
You can do any theme like that. Choose 2 or 3 colors you want to use, add the wall stickers in whichever theme you use and maybe use a couple of his toys or books to set up on shelves for decoration. Posters will also work.
If you don't mind repainting in a few years you could do something like this. Paint a racetrack with Lightning Mcqueen or other cars from the movie on it and paint the two Radiator Springs on the wall with the cars on it. For Diego paint a rainforest with Diego and some animals. It's always cheaper to go with solid colors, stickers, posters and toys than to go all out with it and they always outgrow it in a few years time too.
