I paid $116 at a Goodwill Store, but sold the desk at my shop for $249 within 30 minutes of taking it to the shop! It was probably 48" high or so, very light high gloss maple finish, with exposed pegs on the top and on the front of the drop leaf. Inside (where the leaf dropped down) there was a small door in the center and three or four small shelves on either side. The shelves were just about the right size to hold a small stack of 8-1/2" x 11" paper. There were 3 bookshelves underneath the drop leaf. They were not the original wood. Someone had replaced the shelves with a very thin good quality plywood, sanded it smooth, and stained them to match the rest of the desk. If it hadn't been for that repair work, I would have priced the desk much higher. I probably underpriced it as it was, since it sold IMMEDIATELY upon entering my store.
