Immediately after placing my bid at the auction for the Covey Model Six bar stools, I had buyers remorse, “What was I thinking spending over $500 on six bar stools?!” I started freaking out, wondering what I got myself into, I didn’t need six stools! Our breakfast bar is so small we really can only use two, so I was hoping to sell the others but was worried we’d get stuck with them.
Low and behold literally minutes after making the original post about the stools I received 5-6 replies via craigslist. I had originally only intended to sell three of the six, to help finance the remaining three I was keeping but with all the renovations going on around here, I figured I could really use the money more than the designer stools.
I was still being bombarded with inquiries about the stools so I did what any sane man would and sold off the remaining three and when it was all said and done, I sold all six stools for about double what I purchased them for!
Still needing some bar stools we decided our next trip to ikea would include a pair of Sebastian Bar Stools.
At around $100 we have plenty left over to throw at some of our other projects, and we are just as well off. I was a bit sad to see them go, but I think in the end it was a win-win-win for everyone involved, I have a nice new set of bar stools, and I think there are two very satisfied owners of a nice looking set of Herman Miller Classics.
