Value of a slate stone sink ?

[NChemungGuy]

I have this huge sink in my basement, possibly made of slate that I was going to give away on Craigslist. I got an e mail from someone though who told me if it is slate, it could be worth something. Anyone know if this is true ?

I'd post some pics, but apparently i can't.

I don't know if it's worth money or not but if you decide to give it away give me a shout. I'll come pick it up. It sounds pretty cool and I'd give it a good home in my cabin.

I think it's worth four arms and three legs.

Whoa. No wonder I got so many hits on the Free section of Craigslist. There has been no restoration, it's always been there in my basement !

I was looking at a new one for the kitchen in my house. They start at about a grand and go up from there. That is for a standard size kitchen sink. Not sure if bigger would make it worth more or less (ie - would a giant one be less in demand and therefore worth less?). Either way it is probably worth significantly more than free.

Very pricey, but very nice. Now back to throwing my pennies in the jar....

Try to sell it on here somewhere. A sink like that would be great for someone that canns. We use big pots and all that garden produce.

Growing up near the PA 'Slate Belt' I know that a lot of old slate has gone to the dumps...I remember seeing alot of them in area homes...

I remember the old neighborhood elementary schools [all gone now] in my hometown had slate pannels w/ wood doors for the toilet stalls...

It is dark & heavy but it wears really well! You should be able to sell it for a nice price.
