I have no clue about a possible price for this item. It is a queen sized bed, solid oak with headboard, footboard, side rails all solid oak and wood support slats. It is a nice heirloom quality bed. It can also be converted to hold a double sized mattress. If I were to advertise something this, how might I go about pricing it? It is in fine shape from a nonsmoking home.

Can anyone advise me on this please? Thanks!

It is worth a shot. Should give you a ballpark idea, anyway, if you can find something similar.

We take very good care of our furniture so these prices are based on low wear and tear.

Real wood/high quality

30% off of regular retail-1-3 years old
40% 4-6 years old
50% 6-10 years old
60% 10-15


Laminate, metal or lower quality

50% off of regular retail - 1-3 years old
60% 4-6 years
70% 6-10 years
80% 10-15

Great! Thanks. It's funny that the range I was thinking of falls into this quite well!
