I have this library table I was going to sale. It has some damage (my ex put a fish tank on it and it leaked!). I tried to show that in the in the pics. It is beautiful and if it was fixed would be gorgeous. What do you think would be a fair realistic price?
Thank you.

This is a Mersman table. I would think in good condition it would be worth $300. I would take $75 off for the condition it is in.
Neat old Mersman piece!! Sad that it is damaged. Where I am pristine tables like this (if it is as large as it appears in the photo) can sell as high as $1500 at auction. You could try to sell it through a reputable antique dealer who may be able to refinish it. If you were to sell it as is, most people through Facebook, Craig's List etc. At least where I am, will barely give you $100 when something is in bad shape.
Post back what you decide. These are sturdy pieces that will last forever!!
Thanks for responding. It is large 48 X 28. Can I ask where you're located? Closest big city to me is Seattle. I will try a few antique shops and see what they say. We have a lot in my little town-its geared towards tourists. Wish I had the knowledge and the time to refinish it. I appreciate you responding. I never thought it could be worth that much. Another black mark for the ex!
I am clear across the country in Pennsylvania. I would try to work through antique dealers to sell it. Our market here and values may be totally different than yours.
