Kent Coffey "Foreteller"

[danh01]

I've had this dresser since 1990. I was fresh out of the military and in a new apartment and no furniture. Then I found this dresser. I really liked the look of it and liked the price even better. I think I paid $50 for it. At the time it was showing it's age and had scratches and some minor surface damage. Nothing too severe. So out came the sanding paper and Poly High Gloss and I refinished it and it turned out okay, not an award winner but it got the job done. And I've enjoyed it ever since. I might add that at the time I had no idea about the maker Kent Coffey or that it was called a Foreteller and frankly I really didn't care. But now it's nearly 27 years later and my situation has changed and I'd like to sell it and wanted to get a professional's opinion. Now, I know some about Kent Coffey and different finishes and such and while I know it won't have a Chipendale's value it's worth more than I paid for it. And although I've taken care of it the finish "poly" is starting to chip and yellow and is blotchy in areas. So I was wondering if you knew of something I could use to remove the poly without getting the jackhammer and chisels out. One saving grace from way back when is that I didn't use any stain only the clear poly. I plan on going back with a wipe on poly with a satin finish unless you have a better suggestion. I'll start with these 3 photos. I'll have to take some more that show the chips. Then I was wanting to get an estimate as to what you think it's value could be. I've seen all kinds of crazy numbers out there so I've no idea what would be a good starting point on price other than what a potential buyer will offer. Thanks in advance.......Dan
