This table is listed for 350$ I also found the same one for 85$. How can I find its value?

You are seeing so many variations because (I think) you are looking at asking prices, not sold prices. Also, I have seen higher prices when they are selling pairs, not singles. All fo the high prices are sitting unsold on most sites I found.
BUT, these cool guitar pick tables are consistently selling (in most places--ACTUAL SOLD prices--not asking) at average range (local pick up only) of $70-75. That would be their value in the market before the virus.
I have found this as a sold price for several cities including Mason City, IA; Aurora , CO, Elyria, Ohio and more. Sales are from Dec 2019 through March 2020.
This tells me that this style is still very highly sought after because of the wide range of places it is selling.
You can always start high and take best offer. Not sure if you will be able to sell them now with most of the country on lock down. Hopefully when things are better, the market for these will have held.
The terms to use in your ad are Guitar Pick table, MCM--even thought technically these are NOT MCM as I think they were made in the 1960s which is after the half way point...but people call them MCM style anyway.
Great pieces! They are study and designed to last a lifetime!
Thanks for sharing them!
This is the reflection of economic reality of the commodities market, especially in regards to antiques.
Supply & demand is the easiest concept in economics, which is why in theory antiques are worth more than regular stuff, for the simple reason that it's not being produced anymore. A nice Mersman in good condition is worth in prticulr more, because it's hard work keeping a piece looking nice over the decades, therefore rare.
But the other part of it is, what is the actual demand for Mersman? And does it depend on the economy? The economy is pretty garbage right now, so that could definitely lower the demand on a nice old table.
As well where in the world are you? If you are near Ohio, it is possible that it would be valued less since this is where the factory was, so possibly there are more of them there thn anywhere else. So that factors into it; yu might get more for it in California or Alaska than the Midwest. www.justcollecting.com/
The asking price can be very low or even very high. The true value of this item is when you can find one that has sold recently. Even if you find one that sold 2 years back that is not the current value today. I do not see any that have sold online recently or even in the last year.
