What is fair market price for 1970s Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman ?  

This is hilarious. Who besides me thinks that HouseKebab might be a bot?

Sorry dude, not a bot.
Just asking a simple question.
Anyone have anything useful to share ?
Much appreciated, top day!! Splendid chap!

It would be an honor for some fairly sophisticated AI developers to have let loose their latest creation on us; see if we realized it is a bot to whom we are responding. Siri, for example is probably sophisticated enough in contextual correlation to derive responses of HouseKebab's caliber. (I am not sure whether that is an insult to Siri or a compliment to House Kebab. Sorry Siri).
Value is highly dependent on location, venue, willingness to sit on an item, willingness to spend money to sell it, etc, etc.
How about I propose that $6300 is a smokin' good deal for a 1970s era Eames lounge chair? Are you a good enough bot to prove me right?

Ok, so we have Leif advising that $6300 is a great price.
Is this guy a savvy design addict or a clueless kid using his mother's internet connection?
I am learning towards the latter, based on my posted Ebay comparables.

No you are not supposed to prove me wrong. Any dumb bot can do that. You were supposed to prove me right. Bad bot, bad.

I had a friend who took an interest in collecting modernist furniture. I started giving her pointers about where she could look to find deals. Turns out, that between her private practice and government employment as a psychiatrist, she makes about $4000 a day. To her, a “good deal” turns out to be picking up the phone and paying $6500 for the Eames lounge she likes on 1st Dibs, rather than wasting a $4000 work day looking for one on Craigslist, checking on price quotes from internet forums, or trying to drive down to New Jersey to pick one up for $2000 from some horny old dude selling one from his garage.

"So, what's a fair price for a vintage Eames?"
"My friend makes $4000 a day. She would spend $6500 to save time."
If you don't make $4000 a day, what's a fair price for a vintage Eames from a horny old dude selling one from his garage ?

Housekebab: The smartest guy on the forum who could not answer his own "simple question", even though it was "not rocket surgery".

What's a fair price range for a vintage 70s Eames in good condition?

Jesus.
Housekebab: The usual range for an average-spec, allegedly good-condition 670/671 on Ebay is $2000-$2400. At Wright, where the chairs are generally nicer (and buyers can be more confident that items are as described), the price for a rosewood and black leather 670/671 is usually around $4000 plus buyer's premium.

Fastfwd, thank you for being the only one in this forum who is able to provide a simple cogent answer to a simple question. I knew there would be at least one person on this forum who has a command of basic English and isn't a pretentious little c*nt.
$2400 is about what I was seeing on Ebay, as well. Seems low. And it's not due to recession either. When I first looked a few years ago, it seems prices were higher. I have a feeling that the Rove replica market has put a serious downward pressure on these chairs. I even see the used replicas all over the used market, further removing would-be buyers from the pool in just a few short years.

One of the nice things about the new DA site is the ability to click on someone's name and see all of their thread contributions listed reverse chronologically.
HK, you are either a methodical troll genius .... or you are not. For your sake, I hope it's the former.

It's not "Rocket Surgery" to come up with a value! It is actually "Easy as Cake!"

I think values differ in different markets. I bought my first Eames lounge and ottoman set in 1984 and own two right now.
First of all, grain patterns and condition of the leather matter... a lot. If you have a set with a magnificent grain pattern and clean, unmarred leather, that can add 25-50% value. The grain pattern on the ottoman should match the grain pattern on the chair. Dates on labels should match. If you're in NY or LA or SF or another strong market, that can add another 5-10%. If you're buying from a retailer versus a private party that can add 20% or more.
So, now on to values....
For classic rosewood sets, with all conditions very solid, you're looking at $3000 to $6000 and up.
For sets in fair condition you're looking at $2000 to maybe $5000.
For a set that needs shock mounts, new leather and refinishing, consider $1500 to $3000.
My suggestion is this: do NOT buy sight unseen. There's too much at risk, and pictures don't always tell the best story. Wait until you can find a set at a local estate sale, check craigslist, or eBay if the set is local.
Not sure if this helps, but hope so...
