Flat-top trunk

[debodun]

This standard size trunk has an insert that fits into the top part. It's been up in the attic for decades. A man is interested in buying it, but I wanted to get some feedback on what would be a reasonable price to ask for it so I can get back to him.

If the leather handles are still intact, around here the price would be in the $35 - $50 range.

With Trunks, condition is everything. Over here (UK) you could sell a very smart, clean one for anything between £50 - £150, and the flat top ones do tend to be more desirable as they can be multi-functional. But you are in the States and it does look a little 'tired'. Maybe some others nearer NY could give you some idea on $

Ask of him what you would really like to get for it, then let him beat you down to what you'd be happy to accept.

Are the handles good and all working parts ??  Latches and lock ??  Do you have the key ??
