It hurts, but we didn't want it sitting around any longer . . .
I would agree with this. I have bought several lovely things from people advertising on TOTV but have always negoiated the price if I thought it was too high.

The price you will get is absolutely how much someone is willing to pay. They don't care what you paid for it. They care about what THEY will pay for it and what it is worth to them. If you just want to get rid of it, put a low price on it...if you want to make money...consign it. Even that won't bring you a bundle.
