Yard sale in my living room
Fun August 29th, 2007After a couple of weeks free of furniture shopping, we just got a call that our tables will be delivered next week. Woo hoo! The couch and chair aren’t far behind. Now we have to get serious about getting rid of the old stuff. I have to call my township and/or trash hauler to see if they have special days when you can put furniture out on the curb. We’d set it on fire in the backyard, but I kind of think that’s illegal.
The cocktail and end tables we used are still in great condition and I’d like to try and sell them. I’m a bad judge of how to price used items, and have little yard sale expertise. I’ll never hold another one ever since I practically gave away Dave’s Super Fantastic Deluxe set of Christmas tree lights that "you can’t find anywhere now and why did you sell them at the yard sale?!?!?" Live and learn.
Here’s a picture of the tables we want to sell. I’m guessing we paid over $1,000 for the set, so I suppose asking a hundred bucks is reasonable. They’re glass top with wrought iron legs, as you can see. And they’re really freaking heavy. If you or someone you know would like them, drop me a line. You’d have to pick them up (Hanover Township, PA). Come to think of it, you can take the lamps, too. Cat not included.
Stumble it!

Natural Woman — I managed to sell them for about what I wanted for them. I miss the tables sometimes. They were really pretty, but didn’t go with our new stuff.
Hey, you might be my closest blog neighbor!
