    I bought one at auction for a friend, $5. Our agreement was that she wanted the base and I could have everything else. I took what was left of the cabinet apart, kept the hardware and the contents of the drawers, which included some useful notions and a brand new pair of Gingher scissors still in the package. I really made out on that deal.

    My SIL just bought a cleaned up, painted, with a faux marble top at Round Top Texas antique show for $40. I e-mailed the seller and told them their price is way too high!

    A lot of people watch those shows....American Pickers, Storage Wars .....etc.

    And think what they have is worth a fortune. If it was, it wouldn't be sitting in the yard gathering rust.

    Maybe I could sell them the twin to it that my hubby found many years ago in a room that had been walled off where we rented and gave the stand to my mil and fil painted ( there wasn't any rust ) and sanded top and both of my inlaws have pasted I now have it in my living room for a stand.There is no way i think that anyone would pay that kind of money for a bottom that has that much rust or not! They may belive that they have gold but if no one buys its still just an old rusted stand.

    I guess you can't stop them from dreaming.
