| Hello | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | speaktothequeen | General discussion | |
| Hello Thanks for having a level headed conversation about 1stdibs. I'm surprised more people don't understand the concept of retail vs. wholesale, and pricing being influenced by buying environment. The price of the exact same thing in a suburban antique store in Kansas, that does not ship, is going to be very different than the price of something in New York City in a show room on a major street, that ships all over the world. Pricing is also an art, not a science. 1stdibs is indeed geared towards interior designers and the very wealthy. I know several 1stdibs dealers, and I have heard that things often go for less than the list price (I have heard 20%) but that still makes the price higher than the fair market price. As far as auctions, they are mostly wholesale, with things sometimes going for retail or even more than a thing is worth if two people in the room really want it or get carried away. Also, there is a new trend in the better auction houses of charging a performance premium. An item is listed at less than it is worth, and if it does better, the consigner is charged a percentage of the "performance" over the high estimate. | |||||

| Thanks for that resource! Yeah, the more I look into typical Kagan designs, the less this piece resembles the real thing. I guess I just have a funky couch with worn out leather. 🙂 Thanks again! | |||||
| Emotional attachment to one's | 1 Relevance | 8 years ago | objectworship | General discussion | |
| Emotional attachment to one's home and its specifically curated and organized contents is not necessarily unhealthy. It's often a very subjective thing; one person's trash is another's fetish.. | |||||
| Thanks Leif, for rounding out | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | Zephyr | General discussion | |
| Thanks Leif, for rounding out my understanding, .... and I dont agree that it "is too much information." There is rarely such a thing as too much when it comes to topics like these, especially amongst people who with a common interest in them. I find all of it interesting. | |||||
| I don't have anything too | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | mgee76 | Repair | |
| I don't have anything too helpful to add, beyond what others have said about stripping and refinishing (likely a stubborn finish to remove), but has anyone suggested simply having the cat urinate over the whole thing? It seems to have deepened and enriched the color and would likely even things out. | |||||

| Its a sort of hot or not thing, could do with more participants, I can't click all the X buttons on my own. Seriously it could be a good tool for prototypers if enough people got involved or if folk commented. http://www.thedesignvote.com | |||||

| Thanks for the response. I do | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | frnturelvr | General discussion | |
| Thanks for the response. I do like the fabric even though it's wearing a bit in the armrest areas, but it has various stains that I'm not sure I can get out. So far I've used a portable steam cleaner (bissel thing) and it hasn't made much of an impact. | |||||

| Well now I'm even more impressed! Have you done much upholstery before this? Pneumatic staplers are THE BEST. Mine is the single most worthwhile, wonderful, valuable, indispensable tool I own. I would marry it if such a thing was legal. | |||||
