Newbie - Is this credenza worth buying? (Photo included)  

If you like it and feel the price is right why does it matter so greatly in which decade it was manufactured. Or more to the point, are you buying a specification sheet or a credenza? Or are you buying it just because you think it is a good price? What is your motivation here?

I collect things from the 50's and 60's. I'm just trying to avoid adding something from the 70's or 80's to my collection by mistake; it's just not what I want. What is so hard to understand about that? Unless you are going to make helpful and or positive posts on this thread, don't bother.
Luckily I was able to answer my own question. The piece is made by Domino Mobler and it's not what I'm looking for.

I would guess it to be at least from the 1980s. Even the Danish-made teak furniture was getting kind of clunky looking by then, and the teak is lighter and more yellowy-orange.
I got a nice teak sideboard on legs, Danish-made, maybe late 60s-ish, for $300 at auction a few years ago. I'd keep looking if I were you. I don't think you can resell that thing for more than they're asking.
On the other hand, if you really love it, go for it. You might be able to get your money out of it when you find something you like even more, later.
In the meantime, look at lots of pictures online, make pinterest boards or use Flickr or just your own computer to save the stuff you really love, then go through the photos every once in awhile and delete any that no longer hold your interest. For a lot of people, tastes are always mutating and evolving and it's so easy these days to keep a record of this! It's a great way to compare similar pieces and just learn more in general.

ae9519,
I have to agree with Spanky that the credenza you are looking to buy is 80s/ if not even early 1990s. Save your money and look for local auctions houses in your area. Auctions houses is were most your local dealers buy to stock their booths or stores. Why buy from the dealers at an inflated rate when you can just bid against them the day of the auction. Depending on your budget most dealers can't out bid private collectors because they need to have a profit margin which isn't a concern for the private collector. Estate sales, Craigslist & thrift stores are other options to explore too.....
Happy Hunting

Domino made a lot of stuff a lot like like this in the 60s too. (This credenza is likely from the 80s).
So it is hard to understand what it means to only collect things from the 50s and 60s. What about a Wegner wishbone chair designed and made in 1949? What about a Møller model 55 dining chair designed in 1951 and made in 2015, or one made in early 1971? There are many, many more complications in what it means for a piece of furniture to be "from the 60s." This makes it hard to understand.
Everything is connected to everything else to some degree or another in some way or another.
And then there is the question of "worth". Everyone assumes there is some simple basic universal understanding of worth in the face of mountains of evidence--ignored evidence--to the contrary.

ae9519,
Please feel free to share opinions. Unless you are going to make helpful and or positive posts on this thread, don't bother... To receive a better answer you must ask a better question.
By definition the 50's and 60's is mid-century. You are not yet equipped to be clever.
Mark Twain said “When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.” You may need to wait another ten years.

Don't worry, ae9519, there's nothing wrong with what you posted here. I applaud anyone who is taking an interest in good design at such an early age! My own three kids were just barely starting out in it at that age and it's been really fun watching their tastes develop and helping them find great stuff at prices they can afford. I mean like, really really fun. Good luck in your searches! And don't be afraid to ask questions here or anywhere else. That's how you learn.
If you do get into the live auction scene, be very, very cautious. It's frighteningly easy to make serious mistakes there. I mean like bidding on things that aren't what you think they are (like repros, or "inspired-by" designs), getting run up by unscrupulous bidders, bidding on stuff misrepresented by dishonest auctioneers--the list is long and scary. I have seen all of the above on many occasions, plus more stuff. That said---you can get some great deals if you know your stuff and can keep your wits about you.

Well said Spanky, as someone who is starting out I know it can be hard to trust your judgement, especially when there is so much to learn! Using all the info on this site, looking at others who are making informative posts, all adds to our education, along with suggested reading etc. I am learning slowly but surely, and identifying stuff I wouldn't have had a hope of knowing about before this forum. So thank you all and keep asking questions ae9519!

I'd second the recommendation of craigslist. While there are plenty of dealers or collectors selling stuff near retail on CL, it is also the top site for those looking to get rid of things, especially when moving. Since credenzas are fairly cumbersome to move around, you can often find good deals on them . The key is being able to quickly determine what is of value and what is background noise. The more you 1) read threads on this site, 2) follow current auctions on eBay, 3) checking sold listings on eBay, and 4) Google until your fingers cramp, the quicker you will be able to assess items.

I've been on many, many different forums over the years, and on each one there have always been certain members that do a good job of making someone feel unwelcome as soon as they're in the door. It's nothing to be bothered by. For the most part, people enjoy seeing someone so young picking up their hobby. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, there's always a few that are not okay with it. As I said, if you're not going to post anything positive on this thread, move on.
I appreciate the kind comments from everyone. I'm sure I'll stumble across more pieces and have questions about them. Still have a lot more to learn.
