Jeff Matthews Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 What's a decent used price to expect for a pair of Heresies in very good, but not mint, condition? Assume quick sale price but not a fire sale. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Matthews Posted January 17, 2006 Author Share Posted January 17, 2006 Don't know, but they are Heresy I's. I think I got the idea as to pricing. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meagain Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I figured you were up to something. You've been oddly quiet the last day or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Matthews Posted January 17, 2006 Author Share Posted January 17, 2006 Actually, I've been ripping out sheetrock for an entire 23x16 room, ripping down a wall, running new electric, installing some can lights, and installing insulation. Want to join me? The only thing that doesn't suck is the vacuum cleaner. Just kidding. I enjoy it. I might grab some Heresies, though. There's 3 matching pairs. Hmmmmm....

RichardP Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Last week I calculated an average price based on the past 12-15 Heresy sales on Ebay. Most of those sold were birch, pretty good condition, model I, 70s-80s vintage. The average was $405, and the range was $295 - $525. I did not include in that average one unexplainable ending price of $750(!) and from non-zero bidders. Go figure. There have been a number of sales ending >$500; I hope the price doesn't rise dramatically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meagain Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Jeff - are they all the same model/color and vintage? If so, that's interesting. And IMO, worth something. So - when are you going to buy them so you can show us the pics? [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Matthews Posted January 17, 2006 Author Share Posted January 17, 2006 I'm waiting on a response from the seller to tell me how much he wants for them. If I get them, fine. If I don't, fine. Either way. That's what I like about not being in a hurry for them. I have so much else going on.... I have a house to destroy! [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lindsey Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I'm considering selling mine. They are 76 Birch Lacquer's that have since been restained in a Dark Walnut. There is some chips in the veneer. If I were to keep them I would want to take the stain off and refinish them in a Golden Oak, but I really don't have a clue how to do it.

meagain Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Do Heresys come in 'decorator' style? I really like that look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Matthews Posted January 17, 2006 Author Share Posted January 17, 2006 Decorators are alright. If you like decorators, then, those copper-colored cones ought to really do it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS Button Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Do Heresys come in 'decorator' style? I really like that look. Here is a pair that I veneered. Colter owns them now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meagain Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 There ya go! That's what I'm talking about. Very nice! Jeff - the copper colored cones are nice, but the problem is the black around them & various protrusions. Would much rather have the sleek look in a pretty veneer like the above pic. I saw a pretty pair of 'decorator' Cornwalls listed FS somewhere last week that were re-veneered. Stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Mike, I don't know if you realise this, but without adding a layer of oak veneer, the end result would be a Golden Birch. [:S] Oak veneer is available from various sources, some with a finish applied. You can apply it right over the Birch. It wouldn't be that difficult to do, other than some practice with a router. There's plenty of websites with clear instructions and pix, on how to go about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
