You post; they come.It's the beauty of craigslist.com. It becomes a little addictive. Is it gone yet? Do I have a new email? Is it gone? Do I have a new email? You get the idea.
This weekend, we've been working on our guest rooms. Along with making sure we're doing our part for the U.S. economy, we've been doing a little purge. On Friday, we posted a double mattress/box spring/frame AND a single box spring (not really sure how we have only a single box spring, but that's a different story) for pick up Saturday. It became a game of F5 (website refresh) to see if there was a new message. We were afraid to do a straight out curb alert, first-come-first-served because the afternoon called for isolated thunderstorms. Within five minutes, I had 8-10 new emails. We responded to the first and scheduled a time on Saturday. Unfortunatley, they had misjudged the size of the double for the size of their room, so they only took the single box spring. Hmmmm. A double mattress/box spring/frame sitting in our kitchen was not going to work. Back to the drawing board, aka craigslist.com. Once again, we posted. Response was minutely slower, but sure enough within a half an hour, we had arranged pick up and a new home for our old bed.
Today, it was an old desk. With the weather looking gorgeous, we posted:
Curb Alert - Desk
First come first serve. Pick up at (location). Will take down this post when it's gone.
A few minutes ago, I saw someone loading the desk into their vehicle and drive away. Good bye old desk. We hope you enjoy your new home.
