Craig's List

I am suddenly a huge fan of Craig's List. Now that we've bought a place, we have furniture that will fit and some that won't. "Won't" ranges of course to include the armoire for which there is no room and the corner stand which will not do, not in the new place.
Since putting our things on Craig's List, we've sold our patio set, heat lamp, bedroom suite, wine rack/side table, two lamps, and corner stand. All of which is fueling our missing furniture fund. While I strongly suspect we won't come out ahead, we haven't lost nearly as much money as I thought we would.
I'm not surprised at the interest we had in the patio set and the bedroom suite. What amazed me was the fervor for the lamps. Who would have thought that anyone would give us money for those old Ikea lamps. Even crazier to me was the notion that someone would drive in from Richmond to buy our corner stand.
Anyway, if you know anyone that is looking for an armoire or an area rug, send 'em to Craig's List for us, would ya.
