jerzyjr, would this be the same as yours?  You would have to sign up and log in to view the price, but it does give you a bit
of info on the sofa.

Didn't realize this didn't link to the page I was on.  Type in Ward then Bennett in the first two blocks. It'll bring up several items
by him.

I would suggest a reputable auction house.  I'll leave the recommendations up to other members here, not having
ever gone such a route.  Beautiful pieces there.......I'd sure hate to part with them if they were mine.  ;)

Metro Retro are known to be high on there prices. but there again, there selling quality. your sofa retail is about $3,500.00 Dollars. what you have is reaching $20,000.00 Dollars.

I agree High value auction.

I have listed my items on ebay to see if I get any interest. Do you think my price for the set is fair?

thanks

jerzyjr, it is a great price.  However, if you can't sell them as a set, you might break them up.
