wow- I have to say you found some people who don't know much about used furniture buying. the set you sold those people IS A NIGHTMARE to move or put in a lot of standard rooms. I know of people trying to sell the same type sets who just can't get rid of them. They break up the set and dressers go for 50.00 to 75.00, mirror 25.00. And I've known of people selling the bed and the two towers alongside the bed 200-300 hundred top's. It's not Ethan Allen or any other high end furniture that's for sure. It's heavy and so bulky that with the way people move so often these days and tight staircases and lack of muscle to help carry such heavy pieces of very outdated furniture people just don't want or need the broken back at any price. So consider yourself a lucky seller.

I sold my Thomasville DR suite to a local furniture resale shop for approx. $250. I was getting new furniture and needed to sell it. Although, my custom order afforded me enough time to do so, I didn't want to attract strangers to my home by listing on Craigs List or in the newspaper. Perhaps it may be a regional thing, but used furniture is going for a song in our area, despite being in excellent/like new condition. In may be the depressed economic climate, but anything in the used furniture market seems to worth less and less. People who are buying second hand want a really good deal = good quality for less $$. While I agree that $500 may be a steal, I don't think it represents what these sets of furniture are being sold for in a second hand market. If you can get $500, say many thanks and take the money!

You need professional design help NOW before you remuddle that amazing house. Most of it needs to be preserved. Just some tweaks.
