So I recently completed my first armoire to cage conversion and it was a fun project (the beige one). I came across another armoire that would be perfect for another project. My question is; how much do you think I could sell a project like this for once completed? The armoire is $50, and I figure another $100-$150 to convert it. Would I be able to sell it for $300-$400? Or is that unreasonable? I know that new pieces like this sell for over $1000 online, but I'm not sure what the market is like for them. I live in central Fl if that helps any. Please chime in, all opinions are appreciated!

Not sure what the market would bring in Florida but up here in New Jersey 300-400 would be a steal!

Here's a very similar one on ebay, located in Missouri

Beautiful Job.
I would ask for more than I expect to get, leaving room for people who like to haggle the asking price .

Anyone else? Trying to decide if I should get it tonight...

First allow me to say very good job. Second, you should have reused the ornate top. Would have brought in more money for no more work. For pricing I would use an old remedy, cost plus labor at $40.00 an hour. Of course the actual price should be much more than that but this would at least insure you would make money. Again, nice job....

Ps. go for it!

The one with the top is a different one, the ornate one is the one I am going to get tonight to convert...

Went to get it and the sides were pressboard everything else was solid wood. Guess I'll keep looking!

Aw, that's too bad
Hope you find what your looking for soon
