I am going to look at 2 two tier tables today that someone is selling. What would be the normal cost of them? I know it would depend on their condition, but one of them is not in ggod condition and is plain while the seems to be ok and more ornate. the women is asking 60.00 a piece or best offer. I don't want to offend her but would like to get them cheaper.
I know without seeing them it would be hard to give a dollar amount but any ideas?

Are these side tables? Big? Little? A little more information please

I've paid as little as $2 for one that was in poor condition to as much as $15 for one in beautiful condition.

And I generally sell them for $20 to $50, depending on condition and what I paid for them.

I'd have to live someplace with a very different economic environment for me to consider giving more than $20 for one.

But then, I don't really like them for myself, I only buy them to polish up and resell. And I want to resell them fast, I don't like hanging onto something like that for several months waiting for a buyer who'll pay a higher price.

I figure I like a bargain, so if I can sell my stuff cheap, someone else appreciate the low price and will buy it fast, and that has proved to be true for me.

But ymmv, as what's low in your area may be much higher than what we think is a low price in mine.

they are like side tables sizes, I think they are called pie tables?

We are in the midwest and I have never paid more than $15-20. It really depends on what you are going to do with it. I try to double the money on items. When we vacationed in Boston last year, I noticed the antiques and T2T were priced much higher than Iowa.

It sounds like hers may be walnut or mahogany and with excellent finish. That is a retail price, a little on the high side.., for my area. I paid $25 for a decent one last week. It was at the Habitat for Humanity store and I felt the money went to a good cause. All I had to do was clean it up and paint it. White of course, with a ring of roses. I put $68 on it for the shop. I do think I paint for free sometimes. Original handpainted decorative art?
