Dino B. Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 I realize the answer to my question may be personal preference, but figured I would tap the knowledge base for some feedback. I have two sets of Belles and will be putting one up for sale: Both sets are 1987 build Both have sequential serial numbers Both have all their original components & crossovers Both sets are excellent to near mint condition One set is oiled oak, the other oiled walnut. I have owned the oak set since 1989 and have my original sales paperwork. I acquired the walnut set in 1991 as the second owner. My question is whether the oak or walnut would be more desirable to a potential buyer. Is one finish worth more then the other? Any feedback is welcome.

The Dude Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Tough question, some might say Walnut are more desirable. I would look up sold auctions on ebay to come up with a sale price on both. Then post both and note in the listing that once one pair has sold, the other will be removed. This lets the buyers decide which is more desirable.

Coytee Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 I'd prefer Walnut over Oak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry4841 Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Walnut is a more desirable wood. Antique pieces in walnut bring bigger prices. Personally I like both equally though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
