Assemble it and they will come.

Here is an easy one... this lesson fits in with

• Marketing your item appropriately
• Having enough time set aside to sell 
• Selling stuff once you move

Okay - so this guy is selling a table and six chairs for $200... It's actually a fair price if I was intending to keep the set, but I know that this guy has already failed the first three items mentioned above.. his pictures were crap (good for me - bad for him), he was moving (good for me - bad for him) and actually moved out of country while in the middle of the transaction (bad for both of us).  Also unfortunate for me was that he had completely disassembled the set.. nice to fit it in the car but not great since I was intending to re-market this set.

So - I assembled them (with the help of my father-in-law AND my hubby), filled holes/scrapes with putty, polished with beeswax and voila!  They looked REALLY good in the end.
