Was this at an antique store by a single owner or was it an antique mall?
The following conditions sometimes happen at malls:

1. Some mall dealers are not antique experts and do not know real market value for all goods so they will try to sell too high.

2. The dealer has a high "nut" to cover each month just to pay the mall rent so they will often price high in the hopes of making back their investment.

3. Most times overpriced goods will not sell...go back in several months or a year and the items will likely still be there. YOu are a lot better position to dicker with them on it then.
