I got an entire, nearly mint, Broyhill Emphasis bedroom set last week for way less than half what a Brasilia would have cost me, from those folks...of course, it's NOT Brasillia, but this was Omaha; not St. Louis. So, WHY did everyone in St. Louis have such groovy taste and decent amounts of cash money, back in the 60's? That is the question inquiring minds want to know. :-DBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13274758883956599124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668802457367853649.post-63956650752758615772012-04-26T08:01:37.095-05:002012-04-26T08:01:37.095-05:00Oops!

Lots of it gets listed without the key word "Brasilia" though. You're seeing it at Vintage / Retro shops and it's not selling? <a href="http://stlouis.craigslist.org/search/sss?query=brasilia+reduced&srchType=A&minAsk=&maxAsk=" rel="nofollow">Are they pricing it like this?</a> I think some people are over valuing it a bit.
