the fellow lives in Oregon you need about 7 yards of nice fabric at around 25 bucks a yard, that might help.

Sofa compact
The resell of the sofa Compact is usually between $1500-$2000 for one in good condition, I've seen a couple go on craigs list for about $1500. We were thinking about selling our 1 yr old on Craigs list for $1500, but not sure yet.

if yours is in good condition with nice fabric that would be a excellent deal

Compact
The fabric is black Hopsak 2, it's from room and board and it looks new. We have 2 sofas, but the Sofa Compact is so comfortable it's worth having two. We got the second sofa, Room & Board leather Jasper, for laying and lounging, but I have never sat on anything that feels better for sitting than the Sofa Compact.

I am really surprise that you give the Compact such a big endorsement I
owned one and redid it in Miller stripe it looked great but I was disappointed in the way it sat, at first i thought why did i buy this . but i did give 800 at a Estate sale and it was shot.
It needed to be recovered and the fabric alone cost me 600.00 for miller stripe at cost. and it cost my company around
600 labor time to recover so i had 2000.00 in the compact.
i did not think the sofa sat that great, rather uncomfortable, To be honest i could never really understand what Eames was thinking on this one, i love everything he made with the exception of the Toys, but this sofa was just goofy to me, as in my home it was not that outstanding , like other stuff and sure was not that great of seat,

Firm
Something about the firm back keeping me upright feels really good, I think it's very supportive. I can sit on it for a couple hours without a second thought. The drawback is you can't lay with comfort, but thats what our other sofa is for. It almost doesn't fit the idea of a sofa, more of waiting room seating. I'm not sure how they figure over $3k for it, we could probably make it in our backyard.

I have a customer shipping me all three pieces for recovering , . that can be redone and shipped back real easy in a large box, and then he will screw it back in to the frame, so on that note.......
all you would have to do is find some angel iron and stainless legs and you have your compact sofa.
