Last year I found this darling country french settee at a local Salvation army. I took photos on my phone and sent them to my mom because she was looking for more seating in her living room and the plaid on this settee was a fabric that she was already using. Not to mention the fact that I thought it was totally charming despite the few repairs it needed. It cost a mere $100.
I ended up getting it for her but after a few months, it just didn’t work in the room. She gave it back. And I reluctantly listed it on craigslist. It was hard to list it, I admit. I really loved the piece but realistically, there was no place in my house that I could use it.
I listed it for $250 and in 24 hours I had it sold for $200. Twice the price I paid for it.
I bet you have something rotting in your garage/attic/shed that you are having trouble parting with. Consider listing it today or selling it on ebay or taking it to a friend’s yard sale. We are talking about that large item that you have known for years that you don’t really need or use but is hard to part with for whatever reason. Maybe it will be the perfect thing for another family and you can free up some space and make a few extra bucks!
Anyone need a piano? But wait, maybe I’ll paint it. Hate me.
