I like to compare prices on eBay or Facebook marketplace. You can start with a high price, and be willing to dicker a bit and come down in price if you find the right buyer.

Try working with an estate sale company they should be able to apraise your set.
Hi Cindy! If you haven't bought an appraisal, you can determine the value of your antique furniture from a dealer. More often than not, a dealer will provide a price that is most likely the wholesale value. Essentially, this means they give you the cost they are willing to pay for your antique items.
I want to know how much my hutch is worth
I'd keep trying to find an appraiser who will come out to take a look. If anything, you could try an insurance appraisal but know that that value will be higher than resale. You could try Google Lens which is a reverse image search, see what comes up that's comparable. Try talking to antique dealers as well though sometimes they're not inclined to provide values. They might know an appraiser.
Call in a dealer or antique experts aaand ask for valuation!
Do a reverse image search on Google and see what you can find before you call an expert. It's my go to tool for researching items like that. Then you can go to a dealer armed with information and it will make you a better negotiator.
