Well, it’s been almost four years to the date since J and I closed on our house, and our first major purchase was a new overstuffed microfiber sofa and chair for the new home.  They were the first pieces delivered to the home while we were there cleaning and painting.  And today we said good-bye to them.

I listed them for sale on Craigs List a week ago for $300 and got no hits.  Finally, after dropping the price on Tuesday to $200 I got a buyer who only stood me up the next day and never showed up or called.  After dropping the price to $150 last night, I still couldn’t find an immediate buyer who could pick up the furniture this weekend.  And it had to go this weekend because we bought a new sofa and chair Friday night which is being delivered tomorrow.

Finally, today as an act of desperation we called about having the furniture picked up and donated, but that was going to costs us $100!  As a final call, I relisted the furniture today for $75.  And would accept $50 if it could be picked up today.  I had a reply almost immediately, and now two hours later our old furniture is gone.

Good-bye ole chair!  Good-bye ole sofa! (pictured) You served our butts well.

Hello new chair and sofa….pics coming up tomorrow!
