Pros and Cons of Craig's List
Aug. 5th, 2007 03:57 pmSo, I've been taking digital pictures, cropping and brushing up their contrast to post in ads for Craig's List for the last two weeks.
This is both the advantage and disadvantage of Craig's List: you can post/sell almost anything, but the buyer may not actually show up in person to buy! I'm feeling really frustrated. A lot of the big pieces of furniture are still here. I've sold some odds and ends, most notably my computer armoire and TV stand today, and my full-sized bedframe last week, but my Billy bookcases, despite generating a modest amount of interest, ARE STILL HERE. People keep inquiring, but not buying!
To sell:
3 Billy birch-veneer bookcases
2 2-drawer white filing cabinets
Asian/Chinese-style wood occasional table
Asian bamboo lamp
steel/chrome desklamp
white fold-out kitchen/hobby table
4 white wood chairs with seat cushions
futon mattress with blue cotton cover
various desktop accessories
2 off-white patio chairs
2 sets of martini glasses
miscellaneous decorative pieces
Bionaire air purifier
Sold:
full-sized bedframe
cherry wood computer armoire
birch-veneer TV stand
vintage red leather wing armchair
Geez, I've only sold four pieces of furniture. This sucks. I really want everything gone as soon as possible so that I can clear space for packing boxes.
Moving is such an enervating process. I've been feeling drained for the last week. I can't get myself to work on my dissertation (not that I did all that much on it last month!), though I finally completed the syllabus for the course on Asian American Women for CSU Fullerton. Now I just have to make the photocopies and pdf files before the class starts. Fun.
