I know anything with original paint is going to be more. I have a green trunk that about the same size in my living room and I think I paid around $325 for it at a local primitive show. If you bought a coffee table you couldn't get it for any less and would probably have to pay a lot more.Roberta https://www.blogger.com/profile/06861676066106379149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745052858292485902.post-4781039422756558332011-11-13T19:54:10.478-06:002011-11-13T19:54:10.478-06:00I have no idea - $150???

I sent an email to them asking how to buy the Christmas issue so hope to have that too - thanks for sharing.<br />Went to SG to the Open House, Barb & Alma were there and we told them about Yore so we also saw them there. Someone said Maggie was there too but I didn't see her. Nice of them to come and support Jeanne.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06208774786883612630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745052858292485902.post-50569227502213287302011-11-13T07:21:41.374-06:002011-11-13T07:21:41.374-06:00Whatever the cost, I'm sure it was worth it. ...Whatever the cost, I'm sure it was worth it.

My hubby doesn't get primitives either, but his chest sure puffs up when we get a compliment on our home.

Well - as the others before me have said....depends on the area you're in and the venue at which it was purchased (antique show/antique shop/auction, etc.) - but I'd say $225 is what it'd go for at an antique shop in these parts (although I'd try to talk them down to $175....) ;o) In any event - if you love it, it was worth it....Thanks for the wonderful giveaway opportunity!
