Tbf, not all antiques are valuable antiques. Some are just old. How much was she expecting to get for it at a yard sale?

That's a good point. Some of the paint was already chipped and it is missing one of the drawer handles. I don't know. She didn't tell me. I think it was a charity yard sale, so she wasn't going to get money anyway. That just means I stole money from charity. I just feel so horrible.

If it was gonna go for like $20 I wouldn't sweat it.

No offense to your friend, but that's not really an antique, so I wouldn't sweat it.

You did not steal money from a charity.

Yeah. Totally this.

Honestly, even if that dresser used to be valuable, there are so many things that could permanently devalue a genuine antique.
I'll give a few examples:
- faulty restoration ( paint or other finish applied the wrong way )
- cat scratches or other pet damage
- improper storage ( bad humidity, having had heavy items placed on top of it )
- damage to the bottom of the furniture because of toy induced dents
- faulty repairs ( damage caused by drilling new holes for drawer pulls, swapping out pieces of wood to cannibalize for other woodworking projects )
- minor insect damage
- you name it...
