NY Scavenger: Mid-Century Modern Dresser for $230

at47cdcab461b4c7.37923795.jpg

They say that all the best stuff comes from the outdoor antique markets in Jersey and Pennsylvania. Here's proof. Mikaela's got a stunning mid-century modern dresser / credenza (see pic above) that she's willing to part with for a lot less than $500. Folks in NYC are going to weep and wish they had a car. Got get 'em!

Nice to see she's resolved her dilemma :-)

One down, one to go?

I'm ridiculously upset about selling them both -- especially the nine-drawer one. Something only you AT'ers would understand, I'm sure.

Sniff, sniff.

I took the ads down because I was getting too many emails. I have a list and added you guys to it. I'll post here if things change, but it looks like both pieces are sold. I'm truly thrilled that it's going to AT'ers who are sure to appreciate them :)

PS: Jointe, I feel your pain -- it took my almost four years before I found one. Hang in there!

Wow, where does one find these flea-markets in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. I am looking to rent a car and go scavenging. Any help or websites to find out some of the better ones, would be greatly appreciated. Most interested in mid-century items,furniture. Thanks!
