As others have mentioned, the price/market for these (and other quality, vintage furniture) has tanked. That particular desk with the single curve roll top and large size will likely not be in too much demand. Prices, from a quick check on the net, range from under $150 to a bit over $500 for similar desks.
When my wife and I got married in 1975, we began furnishing with American oak antiques, including a roll top desk. We were of the mind that we wanted to spend money on quality built furniture instead of the particle board/soft wood stuff that was new. Also, we liked the look--plus, it was the 70s. We still have much of what we bought, but the value is pennies on the dollar to what we paid. Our kids don't want it either.
