Default Helping a friend, need advice:

My non-quilting friend is bringing me some quilting stuff she inherited from another friend. Some she is gifting to me, some I am going to finish for her.

There is a very old, velvet crazy quilt which she says has wonderful appliques and she wishes to sell this. She is looking for me to help her price this quilt and suggest the best way to sell it.

Are there other factors I should consider besides age, condition, quality of work and size in pricing this quilt?

I suggested she get it appraised but she didn't feel it was worth the time and effort. When I actually see it, I may suggest it again, more forcefully if it indeed is a piece of art.

I mentioned posting on facebook that she wants to sell it along with a photo, and asking anyone interested to message her. Also, that she could post it on Craig's List. Any other suggestions of a good way for her to sell it without much hassle? She is a very busy person and doesn't have much time for a lot of messing with it. LOL

Since I don't sell my quilts, I don't have any experience with this aspect.
