    Default Finally Done --- Price Help

    I do so much volunteer work I hardly have time for woodworking. One place I volunteer at is a childrens camp I work at twice a week. Things are not like they use to be and incoming funds have not been as well as in the past for the camp. So, we decided to have a large auction come this October. As my part I made this Armoire. I made a simular one a few years ago for the wife. Anyway, I worked on this for a year and a half. (As I said time is tough) The size is 36wx24dx75"h. On the sides becca inlace in inlayed, you see the carvings on the doors. On the drawer is another carving along with mother of pearl inlayed around the recessed area for the pulls. The dovetail on the drawer is in the shape of hearts. The inside instead of being a pole to hang cloths on I made shelves. The wood is Red Oak and the finish in Lawrence McFadden jell stain/finish which no longer exist. Now, I am not a business at all and my biggest question would be what price should I determine as the value of the Armoire for the benefit auction. I figure it cost me around $650 which was rough cut oak that I plained down that I got from a mill. I am thinking around $1,800.00 due to the detail and being a really one of a kind. Those that might have a really good idea please let me know if I am off base should be lower, or even higher. Thanks in advance & happy carving.
