Depends on the size and if your willing to haul it. These things are heavy. 4-1/2 foot and 6 foot models go for more. A standard size that needs refinishing I can get a $100 bucks for if I’m lucky.

Has anyone got any idea how much a clawfoot tub is worth? Someone I know wants to buy a used one as-is.

I’ve got a 4 foot, and a 5 foot tub. everyone wants the 4 foot. I know the 4’s and 6’s sell higher, and faster than the 5 foot somethings. I’m talking about feet, as in 12 inches. I think I was offered $100 for the 4’, over the phone, any condition, by an antiques reseller. It’s worth more, much more. Now the 5’ tub, I got free, and doubt it’s worth much unrestored.
also, look on the bottom of the tub for a date that is stamped in. The older, the better. Be careful rubbing the chipped paint, and rust off the sides, if there is some. I’d be pretty sure it was lead based. If you do knock some off, do not eat it, okay?

Check Ebay. The price for a new acrylic copy is over $1200.00 in my town, However I have an old one sitting in storage. Too heavy to move.
Good Luck,

your local market,
condition of the tub,
completness
other matching fixtures
I’ve seen Free to $50 to$1,000
However, there are many that get hauled to the dump, IMHO supply exceeds demand at least here.

Troy,
this may be different in your market. Here, in Atlanta, you can generally buy them for $ 175 with all 4 feet (neccessary, because you’ll never find another foot that’s matching. Every company seemed to have a different size, method of attaching and changed that every year). Usually those still need to get refinished (about $ 250), if you want it for a resale property.
