Here is one in lower condition listed for $40: tinyurl.com/yxvv85be
But I've seen other similar styles listed much higher. The fact that you have a pair will increase the value a little as will the wood used.

Your exact set often sits unsold (sadly) in the $150-$200 range for the pair.

I have not seen the exact set sell in ages. The last auctions I saw were the unsolds.

You could always start at $200 and take best offer, which could be as low as $25.

Furniture values are regional and supply and demand based commodities. If you are in a high supply, low demand location, you may get nothing or very little. High demand, low supply, the top dollar.

In most places it is somewhere in the middle. Condition plays a huge factor also. Yours look to be in fair to good (I can see a few nicks) so people will use that to try to lowball.

You can always accept a lower price when you negotiate so start high and post back how it goes!

It is difficult to see the true condition and picture is only one table so condition is questionable.
It probably has some nicks and scratches on the legs, etc. but usually some of these can be worked on to improve the looks.

I believe this table has Formica tops and these are usually not considered as 'higher value' as many people associate Formica with low to middle class living and from what I've seen they are slower sellers (unless very low priced). That is not to say that tables with Formica tops are always low value but just in general.

Here is a new posting and the asking price is $190 but you might be able to gather information about your tables.

I did not find any of the 25-1 end tables that have sold so value would be difficult to show but as PGHgirl stated, you can list higher price and if no one makes an offer you can lower the price and wait to see what happens.
Your area will play a big part in the final value of your tables but hopefully, there are people who like this type of table.

In it's current condition, you could ask for $150 for the pair. And adjust the price if not sold in a reasonable amount of time.
