You think it's worth that even with the upholstery damage?  I had someone offer me $50.  Apparently that's too low?

A Bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. I would sell at $50.00 dollars.

Ok I have a taker at $50 so I will let it go.  I hope it's not worth more!

Birds in bushes are always worth more.

And there is always someone who will tell you your chair was worth more than what you sold it for, ..... and when they do, ...... you be sure to ask them "how much more" ... and if they would have paid that much more for it.

And for even more fun, tell them you are willing to go buy it back ...... and sell it to them for the price they said it was worth. ;D ;D

cheers
