    Default Success: Selling furniture

    I had posted a while back about the best way to sell some extra furniture we have. I finally placed the classified, and I made $1200 today!!! I couldn't believe it. There's still some more stuff, and the ad runs 7 days, so hopefully it will all go.

    I just wanted to encourage others who might have extra stuff...even big ticket items can sell quite quickly.

    What an experience! I wish I had tallied all the calls I got. I'd say between 75-100. I had no idea how hot the used furniture arena is.

    Ironically, the sofabed that started the ball rolling is the only large piece that didn't sell. It, along with a 21" TV, VCR, and lamp (plus my quarterly charity bags) are going to a local charity. We'll get a nice tax break for the donation.

    I tucked the money into savings. DH, who griped a bit about the moving stuff around part, was singing a different tune when he found out what our profits were.
