Too funny, LOL Make an offer on the chair. That set brings back memories. We had a set just like that sofa and chair and had a marble top coffee table to go with it. The only new furniture my mom could ever afford to buy. She cherished it! When my cousin was helping us move and the marble off that coffee table hit the street, I thought my poor mom would have a heart attack. That was not a good day for anyone. LOL

Are you logging into your account with Craigslist? I have found that if I forget to log in, it still will allow me to create a post, but will not actually post it and send me an email instead. If I first log in, then create my post it will post automatically, though it may take 30 mins. or so to show up. To log in select "my account" on the leftmost side of the screen. After you are logged in you can see a list of all of your ads which you have posted and the status. Then to post, you select the "go" box on the upper right corner. HTH!

Update: the dresser/buffet was finally sold tonight! (a/k/a chest, credenza, flat screen TV stand, LOL!) Thanks for all the suggestions. I appreciate the time people took to be of assistance. I learned a lot, and will save these ideas for the future. Thanks especially to dilly_dally for her many good ideas. It really helped. It took almost 3 weeks to sell the dresser. Im not sure if thats typical or not. It sold after I re-titled it as a campaign chest. (Yes!) From my first to third posting I lowered the price from $425 to $275. But I was happy with what I got in the end. I had overpriced it originally figuring I would be bargained down. With both that and the table that sold a little faster, they paid the reduced price listed in the second (or third) ad and did not ask for a further reduction. Each was sold to the one and only person who came to look at it. Not sure if thats typical either. I had sent pictures to the local consignment shop as a backup, she said she would price it at $450, but I would have gotten half of that, and would have had to pay $50 to have it moved there. I sold the dresser/buffet just in time; I have just enough time to get the carpets shampooed before I go Saturday to pick up the CL dining room set that I paid a deposit on in December! I couldnt see bringing that in until I moved out my old stuff. Thanks again!

As others have posted, these are difficult to give away as no one wants them. I just got rid of authentic Victorian china cabinets and there is literally no market for the stuff. I finally found someone who took them away for his house. If someone is giving it away and you actually love this very old fashioned look, then go for it. But I wouldn't pay anything for it. I'm not against vintage or old as I have repurposed some of my vintage items that aesthetically still worked but the piece you have posted is not anything but "used" furniture - i.e. it's not vintage nor is it in a style that is popular now and while everyone has their own taste, I would venture to say that much like harvest gold kitchens, this faux Mediterranean style is never going to make a style comeback.
