Here are some pics of my collection as we had it displayed yesterday.
And here are Sparky's thoughts on the matter.
I was going to "caption" Sparky but I'm hoping Kurt will stop by and do a better job in the comments than I ever could out here. ;)
love and grace,
pam
p.s. Norm!, is you have any more advice, please let me know!

Wow, Pam. I'm glad things are working out. Scott and I are craigslist addicts -- although we do more buying than selling. It's great for local buying. We often find exactly what we're looking for out in the suburb and rural areas which we would never find downtown.
I use eBay to buy equipment for work. However, the shipping issue complicates things and it's harder for buyers to find stuff locally.
You can list the stuff that doesn't sell in the free stuff section of craigslist too. However, free stuff can get a little out of hand -- especially if people think everything is free (worst case).
I did put a couch with a big rip in it that's currently sitting in the driveway in the free stuff section. I titled it, "Come and Get this Couch". :) I read that news story. Whoa. I'll be SURE and keep my garage door closed at all times! Yikes!
OMG!!! Turn of the last century steamer trunk!!! How cool is that!!
Antiques are a sure fire way of bringing gay guys out to the sale. ;-D And cute puppies like Sparky. If he and Emma can strike adorable poses like that for the shoppers, more will stick around and buy!
Where do you think I got that trunk, Robert??? hahahahahahahaha!!!
ANYWAY....if ya want it, it's yours for the shipping! ;)
Sparky says "Pssst. Over here. Check it out. Cat. Genuine Himalayan. Five bucks... What? No this is an orange short hair Himalayan. It's endangered. The FDA won't let you import these babies anym... Hey! Hold on a mi... Two bucks! OK, three bits and I'll throw in the Mr. Coffee!"

Oh so tempting -- However, if Richard finds that I have brought another "cool" thing into the house . . . Well, lets just say that the trunk is just the right size for my dismembered body. ;-D
Kurt: LOL Perfect!
Robert: *giggle* He could probably even get you in there sans the dismemberment! I may end up keeping it. I'm mostly getting rid of it because I'm sick of moving it around.
I saw that steamer, too! Wow, Pam you have some real cool junk.
Is there anything craigslist can't do? I have to share my cl success story today.
I broke my pine futon couch on Sunday and was a little worried about the expense and hassle of buying a new one. (I bought it new a couple of years ago for $300+.)
I didn't see any futons selling on cl that I really liked, so I posted a "wanted" ad just for fun. Tonight I picked-up a futon of better quality and better looking than my old one for only $60. The seller even threw in a matching side table and helped load and deliver it.
Just more praise for cl.
Anon: Hey! Is that who I think it is??? Done any REAL surfing lately? very curious here....
Norm!: Thanks for sharing your success story. That's awesome!
Sorry - not who you think it is. Not a surfer. Just an admirer of junk. I swear I could spend all day looking at just stuff.
