Various items for sale
That fridge is disgusting and the front looks like it’s been used to test hammers.
Also it’s not an ice maker unless you call putting water in a plastic cube shaped tray and sticking in a shelf. Otherwise known as a freezer compartment.

Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.
Cleaning and taking (properly) care of items is not your major concern in life, is it ?

You'll probably want to check the price of some of these items new, in mint condition with guarantee and adjust your prices downwards.
I guess your desk and fridge prices are way off.
New fridges are being sold for very little more than what you are asking for that beat up, messy fridge.
And for $80 I'd be looking for a desk with straight legs.
Good luck with sales.

It reminds me of Jeremy Clarkson.

About the desk, probably overpriced, but not certainly. If the top is a solid, single sheet of hardwood, e.g. Beng, the price is more than fair. The angled legs, if anything, are more likely to indicate, at least slightly, it was built last century, and this in turn would suggest better quality wood and not a thin veneer glued to some shit wood. (About skinny legs and heavy top, it is because with those woods you can. Think of the thrice reused very old house posts you sometimes see. Maybe a 6 inch by 6 inch post that is full of now unused notches and cut outs, but it easily supports the weight the whole roof.)
The pictured desk looks average, low quality workmanship, and the storage box sides look like only thin, solid sheets (not plywood), and it has obviously been bashed around, so it isn't some great prize, but if the top is a single 1 inch thick sheet of Beng, Puchuk, Thnoung, etc, you couldn't buy a new facsimile in a wood store for less than $120.
(I don't have the skill to pick out a true rosewood desk from a beautiful, but lessor hardwood, and skilled Khmers have been selling them slowly across the borders since the early 80's (not to mention Vietnamese exporting them by the army truck full), but if you did have the luck to bump into a clear grained solid Kranoung desk of similar style, you could sell it for over $1,000.)

You're dreaming if you think it's any of the hardwoods.
It's a generic, cheap office desk, made from cheap wood and sold new for 80-140 depending on the size. Ten years ago this was pretty much the only type of office furniture you could get. Now there is a pile of IKEA style flatpack furniture available in modern styles - quality is mixed some are dead cheap and flimsy but others are pretty sturdy. Some of the hardwood replica flatpacks can be quite pricey.

There's one in my apartment, almost identical except it has solid, turned wooden legs, and it's a shoddy piece of work. The top is about 7mm deep.Guest9999 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 18, 2021 1:34 ambut if the top is a single 1 inch thick sheet of Beng, Puchuk, Thnoung, etc, you couldn't buy a new facsimile in a wood store for less than $120.
You can see if you enlarge the photo above that the top isn't any thicker than that.
