Any upcycling ideas for this handcrafted piece?

I started sanding the problem areas after cleaning it. Im debating on if I want to repaint due to sanding being more difficult on the thin detail pieces in the X, possibly using chalk paint or adding a light plywood backing on with a accent background with the peel and stick wallpaper to go with what I decide and give it a pop. Just thinking if ideas!

Any advice on best places/sites to post this set?

I have a 1960/70s vintage Bellaire collection from Lou Hodges. Ive gotten the items needed to just refresh the wood as its in perfect condition with some minor very light surface scratches on one of the end tables glass im going to try and remove. The remainder are perfect.

Ive never sold a vintage furniture set. Ive looked into marketplace at lower price offering delivery for a fee as well as ebay/Etsy knowing higher value sale with collectors paying for shipping yet longer purchasing times.

Does anyone have any advice on best platforms to post? Im not looking to make top dollar unreasonably, but due to good condition a fair amount with a quicker sale (few weeks if possible). Any feedback is appreciated.

I love redoing furniture and have been into woodworking for awhile. But this is my first vintage sale, just trying to learn and do it the best way possible. TYIA

I wanted to check on app for AM and cant see anything. I have no emails from Spark, zero violations and in good standing. Been doing it 2+ years.

I just havent Sparked much recently due to the extremely low amount of orders accessible in my zone past few weeks when I used to all the time.

Anyone else seeing their app this way?
