Same thing actually just happened to me about a couch. So sad.

(“but I really like it”) she says. weirdies I tell u! I have also gotten a few great things for cheap or for free (Vegas is full of crud, but also a few goodies for free:) the most surprising thing to me is the nice people I’ve met buying and selling. i met my first “friend” after moving here and have even had a few playdates with her.:)

Will be downloading that app! BTW, we bought a car off craigslist…drove two hours to get it and it was well worth it! We did a lot of up front work to take the car to a local mechanic but I would totally do it again. Why haven’t I thought of buying furniture this way???

If I can’t stalk Craigslist at least once an hour looking for that one perfectly perfect piece I start to hear voices and talk to myself all at the same time!! I have a sofa story also. I found the perfect vintage sofa to re – upholster for my living room.. lovely low tufted back, curved front, down cushions, gorgeous legs.. All set up with the lady to purchase for .. $35 !! bwahaha.. deal of the century.. she goes on vacation, she says I will call you when I get back in town..two weeks go by.. waiting..I can’t find her #.. fearfully waiting.. can’t find her post.. waiting and silently crying . Even a month later I still look thinking maybe, just maybe it might be there.. waiting for me also btw Love your blog!!

I’ve never had a bad experience on Craigslist! Or… maybe I did, but I was just never emotionally attached to anything that was bought out from under me. We did end up with a lovely chipper, which we use to make our compost heap more compact. Ok, now that I think about it, that’s probably not an item that one gets emotionally attached to, prior to actually getting it. Maybe if I had fallen in love with a couch…
