I'm happy to help! I have put want ads in the furniture section of kijiji (like craigslist) the same place I would list an item to sell it, with a photo and titled like "looking for info on this mid-century teak chair". If you have lots of time, you could even email some vintage dealers – you might even get lucky and find one looking for that exact chair! When I bought my teak kitchen table from kijiji, the man selling it had contacted a mid-century dealer first who said he couldn't offer him much and still make a profit. He advised him on a price, though, and also gave him info on the designer. Best of luck!Tanya

Hi Carol,Sorry about the difficulty leaving a comment. Your chair is so unusual! I love it! If I sell something vintage, normally I check out other ads for something similar and price accordingly. Often I will also look at vintage shops in the area or check out Etsy or Ebay. It can take some time, but it's worked for me. I like your approach of asking for a price. In the end, it's up to how much you're willing to let it go for, or if you're in a hurry. Frankly, I'm not really knowledgeable about much – only what I have, lol – but I do know someone who is! Dana, from mid2mod writes about mid-century furniture, identifying designers and styles. Here is her blog: http://blog.mid2mod.com/ Maybe you'll find some info there :)Also, you could first put up a want ad looking for info on the chair. I've done that too on a piece I found and my inbox was filled with local collectors sharing what they knew. People into vintage often like to talk about it.What I will also recommend is adding "mid-century" or "vintage" or "retro" as buzzwords to your ad. It will draw interested people.Happy selling!!

I was hoping you could look at this link of a post I put on Craigslist in NJ. http://newjersey.craigslist.org/fuo/4234718437.htmlfor a mid century modern chair that I need to sell. I think it is teak but don't know anything about the chair and I don't want to underprice it. Any help or direction you could give me would be so helpful. You are the only one I know that is knowledgable re: this period furniture.thanks so much and I love your blog. Can't wait to see how you transform the lake house. I love what you did in the living room with the fireplace wall etc.I didn't know if there was a way to email you directly but hope this works thru the comments.Carol Bayersdorfer Carol Bayersdorfer

I sell all our things because it's easier than packing, lol. Szuka is a paper-eating pup so packing has proven . . . time consuming. 🙂
