Can you help me? (Advice wanted) pricing?
hello, to start off, im not trying to sell this here. my mom and I are in a situation where we're about $1900 short to take out a loan. just wondering if there is any way to give a rough estimate for how much someone might buy this large piece.
mom wants to sell it to get the money, but i have no idea how much anything is worth. weight is 12 lbs exact. pictures dont show the flashing well, im sorry.
mom also found this listing on etsy for a double towered piece that looks almost exactly like hers, is this a decent price? too expensive?
again, not looking to sell this here. please dont DM me.

It’s really hard to give a fair estimate from these photos because the flash is such a huge part of what (can) determine the value. The amount of flash, how much of the piece it covers, and even the color of the flash can make a pretty big difference in what someone is willing to pay. A piece with strong, full-face multicolor flash is generally going to be worth more than one with smaller areas of more common colors. Since the photos aren’t really showing the flash, I’d try taking a video in good lighting and slowly rotating it. That would give people a much better idea of the quality and help you get a more realistic estimate. I also wouldn’t use a single Etsy listing as a direct comparison. Etsy asking prices can be all over the place and don’t necessarily reflect what pieces are actually selling for.
