Hello!
I'd like to know is it good price ($200) for this chair? It was made in 1958 by Herman Miller. You can see that the blue fiberglass shell hasn't any holes and in good condition.

This is for $125.

The blue chair has the early removable cover
which is held on by a hidden wire. These early covers were designed to be interchangeable.
Remove the cover and you should have pretty minty fiberglass.
And the funny thing: without the cover you pretty much double its market value.
If you can't make out the text in the ad below, it reads:
"trimly tailored foam rubber pad, a perimeter lock makes entire pad removable for drycleaning"

Thank you for this valuable information!
The main problem now is how to deliver this shell from USA to Russia because it can't be sent USPS due to dimensions limit.
UPS and Fedex are too expesive ($400-500).
Anybody have experience in delivering chair shells from USA to Europe?
