just knocked at my door for my dining room set? Do you guys remember when I asked the question if I should sell it or keep it?
He really wants it bad! He has other sets that I'm going to go look at tomorrow.
I don't know why he doesn't give up! He must regret selling it or something.
I don't really care what the value is, I'm kind of tired of it anyway...
Let you know if I see something nice tomorrow.

find someone else to appraise it!

I would just go crazy if I didn't take that step and later found out that I had been swindled. Selling for a fair price - fine - but getting ripped off drived me nuts!!!

This gentleman is one of the few appraisers in our area. Now that I mention that I know a lady in Moncton that does appraisals and she did appraise lamps for me not to long ago over the internet...hmm I'll try her in the morning.
I need a change but being in a small community there's nothing nice to look at...I don't want to sell my set before I find something that I love!

and I'm very curious about his persistent interest.

Even if you have to pay for an honest appraisal it would be worth it and set your mind at ease. What about McCullum appraisers in N/B.?
There is an email address on the site.

Are you sure you don't want to get it appraised first? Makes me wonder why he is so anxious.

I keep thinking of the lady on Antiques Roadshow who bought a half moon side table for $25 and sold it at auction for $499,000!

Just think, at least if you get it appraised, you will know if it is worth anything. If yes, you can sell it and get more stuff!

I see that you're on...What do you think about the set? I'd like to find something before I let it go!
I still like that black pedestal with the marble top. But I'd have to find chairs.
I like MikeD's look. Do you remember it.
