My thoughts too. I wouldn't be crazy about strangers coming in unless I hired them to do work.

 

I also have some furniture that I would like to replace.  It's a sofa and two chairs that are from the 90s....very dated but it's all good quality by Ethan Allen.

 

The pieces are in excellent condition but I know no one would want a floral sofa!  I even thought of having them reupholstered but I think that would be more expensive than buying new from a more moderate priced line.  I'm thinking that if I have to I'll call the "Got Junk" guys to haul it away for a price of course.

The OP here. So I found two leaves that go with the table, I also found the table pads. So first they want to know the size of the table, it's too big too small. Now we answered back some that were interested, now they say it's too big which is BS, you don't have to use either leaf if you don't want too. I told my sister to say its been sold, this isn't worth the trouble!

Re: Selling Items On Facebook Marketplace

Slightly off topic, since my mother's house was put on the market, I am downsizing, I took care of my mother and lived with her. Anyway, I have a lot of CDs and DVDs I must get rid of. I called a place that buys CDs and DVDs to find out what they pay for them. They pay $.20 each! I said I had full seasons of series on DVD, they are worth a $1.00! I also looked into a couple of apps that you can sell your CDs and DVDs on, you scan the barcode and they give you a price. The two CDs I checked out were worth $.18 and $.15! It doesn't even pay to sell them, five CDs will get me a big dollar.

That's because cds and dvds are not in demand any more. They are considered to be old technology and obsolete. Everything is digital today. Best to try and donate them to your public library, or local hospital, or places like that.

Well if the table isn't the right size for their dining room, then it isn't the right size.
