Funny thing about moving across the country. Unless you can afford a U-Haul and a 5 day trip across the country, you pretty much end up getting rid of most everything you own. Another funny thing about moving. If you don't sell some of that stuff that you own...you end up without belongings and with a monetary deficit when you reach said new location.
So, here is the deal. Keeping self preservation in mind, I have decided to not sell my belongings on Craigslist. I live alone and don't feel like becoming the next headline because I invited strangers into my house to view my couch. Not worth it. However, my couch is worth it, and I'd love for you to take it off my hands!
These are the main items that I'm selling, and I must also add that I'm not at all picky about prices. I would like to not get ripped off, and I would like to end up in Boston with some pocket change to buy things that I need....but I also don't want to rip you off. I'll be really honest about whats up with each thing...and if you are interested, PLEASE let me know! I've included pictures...please take these things off my hands. I'll love you forever (just kidding..I'd love you forever even if you don't buy my stuff).
First item of business....
(I apologize for the photos and all the random stuff in the photos....my apartment is in a serious state of dishevelment while I'm packing up to move...things are messy.)
The Couch.
This is a thing of beauty. It is grey suede material and is incredibly comfy and is great for naps...or for sleeping on. I must admit there have been nights when I've foregone the bed and stayed here, because its so comfy. My parents bought it brand new maybe 6 years ago...and they gave it to me when they got a new couch. I have had it for a year. The one thing I must warn is that I own a cat and they owned cats and there are some frayed threads on each end. I've been working with my cat on not scratching the furniture, but he was a wild child when I first got him. It would be a great addition to a den or TV room that is comfy and casual....and allows for some frayed ends. Great couch...this is the one piece of furniture that will break my heart to leave behind.
I'm asking $100.00 OBO. It's a good deal, just keep in mind the scratches.
Next up....
A Hoover vacuum.
Admit it, you haven't vacuumed in a while. Maybe you need to buy a new one. Buy this one. Again, this is a hand-me-down from my parents and is quite a few years old, however it works great! I just changed the bag recently...so it should be good to go.
I'm asking $15.00 OBO for the vacuum.
How about a couple....LAMPS.
Shed some light on the situation. I have two of these little wonders and a little bedside lamp. I'll sell all of them together for $10.00 OBO. I also have packs of light bulbs to grace you with when you come get the lamps....last I checked light bulbs don't travel well.
Next up....twin mattress (box and spring...full set) and twin bed frame.
Having kids? Have family that needs a guest bed when they come to visit? This bed is perfect. I would call the bed frame vintage, but that's only because I've had it since I was big enough to have a big girl bed..... Yes, this has held up for well over 20 years with multiple moves. It is a great bed frame. It has been repainted with a new white finish over the years, but it might need another one. I love the shabby chic look and this fits in PERFECT with that. The mattress is approximately 10-15 years old and is in great condition. Obviously it isn't brand new, but let's face it... mattresses are crazy expensive brand new, and buying used from a stranger is super sketchy. So buy from me! :)
For the mattress set...I'll go for $50 OBO.
For the bedframe...$15.00 OBO.
Now for my cute cute cute little shabby chic desk.
This desk is one of my favorite pieces too. It has mismatched hardware (little pull knobs) but that could VERY easily be fixed. It could probably also use another coat of pant as I painted it years ago from whatever really ugly bright color it was when I bought it. It would be SO cute painted and sanded to make it look really vintage. Just love this.
Desk is $35.00 OBO.
I also have a dresser....
This dresser is very basic. It is relatively nice wood (has endured a number of moves and isn't something cheap that was built at Target). It needs a new coat of paint and also know that it is a little chipped from years of use. This would be so cute as an addition to a shabby chic room too. Can you sense a theme? Gosh, I love my bedroom furniture...what the heck am I doing leaving it behind?
Dresser is $15.00 OBO.
Now just as much as I love shabby chic bedroom furniture, I also love TV. Guilty pleasure. This TV is ancient and has very little value in the day and age of flatscreen's and HD. However, I'll practically throw it at you if you take it off my hands. It can be packaged in with the DVD player and VCR, and would be perfect for a guest room or a spot where you want a little extra entertainment at no cost. The coffee table that it is on right now is REALLY nice wood, is really easy to carry (super light) and would be a great addition to just about any room. I used it for an actual coffee table for a long time, and then in my new apartment it fit better as a holder for this ginormous, obnoxious TV.
Yes, that is Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants on the TV...don't judge.
The coffee table is $15.00 OBO and the TV bundle is $10.00 OBO.
Like microwave popcorn? Like microwave burritos? Microwave dinners? Don't have a microwave? You are so in luck. (Am I a good saleswoman or what?)
This microwave has done me well. I've only had it about a year and a half and its 700 watts and was brand new when I bought it. I have no reason to believe that it won't last for many more years. It is Sunbeam brand in case that matters to you! It is black and silver.
The microwave is $25.00 OBO.
Last but not least....
This little guy is 3 years old, enjoys eating, sleeping and meowing, has a dramatically disabled paw and an auto-immune disorder, and follows you around like a dog. He enjoys people who spend a lot of time paying attention to him and who wake up early in the morning.
$5.00 OBO.
Just kidding...he is coming with me.
Ok, so if you are interested in anything other than the cat...PLEASE contact me. Just leave me a comment or message on Facebook or on here, and I'll get back with you. I leave in exactly two weeks, so the sooner everything goes, the better...even if it means sleeping on the floor for the next two weeks. If you want more pictures or more information on anything, or want to come check it out...let me know. Also, if you know of any trustworthy people who won't kill me or steal my cat from my apartment...I'd love to share info with them too. :)
Thanks friends!!!
