Solid Cherry Wood Roll Top Computer desk, $500.00 OBO

I bought this desk in 1998 to house our computer in our Newport, RI antique store. I paid $1500.00 for it. The desk is made of solid cherry wood, no veneers or fiberboard. This is a very fine piece and with a lot of life in it. We are downsizing and just don't have the room anymore.
It has two pull out slides for right or left hand use. It has a built in filing cabinet. It has a factory made hole in the rear of the desk top for convenient snaking of unsightly wires. There is also a hinged door in the rear and a deliberate hole in the side rear for said wires to exit the back and side of the desk. It has lots of storage and small drawers. See all photos.
The roll top rolls easily, and the desk is in overall very, very, good condition with gentle wear marks and a few dings. The two slide outs on either side just under the desk top have plastic insets that are coming unglued and can be repaired or replaced. Please see all our photos. We use a mouse pad, and this covers the plastic inset. This is the only aspect of the desk that I think might have been skimped on in the manufacture. 
Dimensions: 52" wide, 33" deep, 51" overall height, 30" desk surface height.
This piece comes apart in two pieces but it would probably will need at least 2 strong men and a truck. It would be best if this was a local pick-up.
