I think I should hire myself out to take photos of people's stuff that they're trying to sell on Craigslist. I took some great photos of our bedroom furniture, and within 3 hours had 12 people willing to come and get it that same day. I don't know if you've spent much time on Craigslist (I'm home all day and in the market for furniture for a new house, so I've spent a pretty good amount of time perusing the site), but it's all about the photos, people. If you have no photos or crappy photos, I'm going to blow right past your listing.
Anyway, our bedroom furniture, although I love it, was way too big (tall) for our new bungalow master bedroom, what with it's sloping walls/ceiling and all. So we sold it to a nice young couple from Lake Orion, who picked it up tonight and left me a fatty envelope full of cash that will pay for a good portion of the new furniture I've had my eyes on.
The downfall - it sold so fast that I didn't think about the fact that we now don't have a BED until we move. It's flashing us back to our U of M days, when I first met Eric, and he (like most classy fraternity boys) had nothing but a mattress on the floor of his room at the Evans Scholars' house (I mean, is it any wonder I stuck around?). The good news - its gonna make it much easier for me and my pregnant belly to get in and out of bed 5 times a night!
