It sounds like you have a delighted buyer and a good transaction. I'm glad this worked out so well for you. I agree with every word Les just said. Don't even start to second guess your price or the speed with which you sold. I would have suggested a lower price just because I know how cheap people can be with used upholstered furniture, and was surprised that you were able to sell at your asking price. It just goes to show that when you have a wonderful item priced attractively, it can all happen really fast. And selling used is not about what an item is worth. Your chair is probably worth nearly as much as you paid for it, since it appears to be in beautiful condition. But it is about what people will agree to pay. I had some heavy red and gold chenille drapes Craigslisted a few weeks ago, just before Christmas. I made them and the fabric cost me about $100, even at a super super discount. I priced them at $40 for the drapes including the heavy metal rod. (A Hancock's steal for $16 for a $89.00 rod 5 years ago.) Well, I couldn't beat off the potential buyers with a stick. I was flooded with emails and phone calls. I could have sold those drapes several times over and I am still getting the occasional email asking if they are available. But what's funny is this: I had listed the same drapes at the same price a month earlier/same day of the week. Got a couple of inquiries but no real interest. I was already giving them away at that price, but wondered if I was asking too much. So, obviously, the timing of my later ad was the trigger for the sale. Do not underestimate the value of good timing. People are thinking about Spring redos right now, and that chair set is perfect. And once your PayPal money hits your bank, you should be good. The lady who bought my drapes wanted to make me a PayPal payment immediately, since she live in the mountains and couldn't get down that day. I didn't take it, but not because I didn't trust her to pay. It had more to do with wanting her to see them and make sure she was happy. I like PayPal.

That is a fabulous table! You will have so much fun choosing chairs to use with it. So many options will look great with it. Any thought yet on what you will use for chairs?

I remember this blog! The ideas were cool, but she repeatedly talked about how in debt she was, which I couldn't get over (but I'm a banker's daughter, so I realize I'm not the norm about that). You could buy it, paint it, then sell it on Craigslist for a few hundred.

I didn't realize when I picked them up yesterday but they swivel also... ahhh... the little things that make us happy. Judy, I'm glad to hear that I have any kind of sense at all! It's ironic, I've tried to define my style sense and I just can't. My bedroom set is somewhat French Country (white a bit distressed with beadboard, latches, and cup pulls), my living is gray leather sofa and love seat, and the rest you see... a mix. I love marble, soapstone, granite with movement, end grain wood, and glass tile. If you can figure out a name of all that please let me know.
