This stool does appear to have a lot of damage and water damage cannot be 'repaired' that part will have to be replaced. That involves trying to match the wood as well as more work than just 'redoing' an item.

Is this pick-up in your area?
Definitely try to find one in your area as shipping will be expensive.

I would not pay more than $15-$25 but would probably try to find one in better condition. What site is this listed for sale? Can you post a link to the posting?
This one looks like it has been exposed to the weather for a period of time.
It also does not have a pull-out step, which most of these do.
Is the chamber pot ceramic? Lid?

As to finding value, whatever price someone pays for this chair will be considered 'current value'.
If it sold as is, and subsequently repaired/completely redone and relisted for sale, then you could probably raise the price by 100% or more from the price you paid.

You cannot compare this chair with other chairs for value as other chairs are completely different in all respects.

It is not in good condition. Offer $40 and then continue negotiating.

Depends on what wood it is and how well the quality is.
