Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Jan 05, 2010 1:48 pm Excuse the junky photos, they are taken from the spare bedroom. Also if there is a better forum to put this into let me know Does anyone know how I can find out if these items of furniture (8 drawer tallboy, and 4 door wardrobe) are worth anything? Can you tell from the photos what they are made of? They were left behind when we bought the house, and in prep for the renovation, looking to clear our as much 'old stuff' as possible. Just wondering before attempt to find an expert or waste much more time getting them valued, etc if someone here might know more.

Pine tallboys will sell good on ebay, but if it's an antique, I would be putting a starting price at something quite decent - check what others are going for. The 2nd one looks like stained pine, but still nice enough cupboards for someone. You'd be amazed at what you'll get for them, plus it saves you carting them off to St Vinnies Jazzie Life is like a lolly, suck it and see I had an old shower unit that broke on me and when I took it off, there were only 2 water pipes, instead of the normal 2 water pipes and a shower head pipe.
