Herman Miller Eames Chair Value?  

oh and thanks
thanks in advance for your advice
🙂

Prize winner
for the absolute worst repair I've ever seen on an ES670.
Easily devalued the chair by more than half.

thanks that is what I...
thanks! anyone have thoughts on a ball park figure?

Kind of hard to tell...
Kind of hard to tell condition from the small pictures, maybe worth pricing new arms? Based on your description and the picture of the arm, maybe something in the low teens?

Eero, it's not only the arms
that have been ruined. As they are, I'd say the ottoman is worth more than the chair. Even if cfeeney decided to go whole hog with a full restoration, I'm not sure he could recoup the cost. He did say, though, that he got the set for virtually nothing, so he stands to do well even flipping it as is.

yeah I picked it up a few...
yeah I picked it up a few years ago not knowing it was real and as I prepare to move and downsize I was going to unload it when a friend pointed out it is real. So I would be happy with low teens 🙂 Thanks all for the advice...going to try to list it locally and give it a go. I will let you know the outcome.

Good point, tktoo...
You're right. I wasn't even considering the damage to the shell on the chair, so new arms wouldn't even matter. Maybe 1k for both, with the majority of the value being in the ottoman.

Maybe.
But I'd be uncomfortable opining on actual figures on this forum.

hmm...
my ebay experience wd suggest the ottoman alone will provoke a bidding war; list the chair separately as a parts chair?

Parting it out on eBay is also an option.
Nobody wants to pay shipping for the entire chair for one or two parts.
Unfortunately, though, the most desirable parts on cfeeney's chair are toast.
I can't tell from the pics if the lower back panel is intact.
Perhaps the seat cushion could garner some interest depending on condition.

thanks
more good points...thanks if it does not sell locally then perhaps I will list the ottoman separate on ebay. so many choices!
