Bugs, there is an upholsterer in the same building where 2 of the antiques dealers I work for have a shop. He's at least 2nd generation and moving slowly due to the work and his age. Therefore, he is selective. He can do Victorian furniture, or boats and RV's. I think he uses a lot more sq yds of material on boats, etc. so he gets more money for the same amount of time.

If you were to bring him an old side chair he'd probably have the fabric in stock along with all the internal supplies to rebuild the chair. I say 200 to 400 depending. But I bet he says 750 just to get you to go away.

Now, that 4000 dollar RV 2 chairs and convertible couch gets right in the door. Might even be more than that. But you get the point. All that stuff is cheap foam and gun staples after an hour or 2 to sew in some piping.
