CL rant

[Deleted]

It is incredible how many people on CL don't know the difference between a dresser, nightstand and chest of drawers. I see it all the time on my CL.

You and I, we are n the same page.

CL morons are driving me nuts. DH gets sick of my shining and tells me to go to garage sales, but I have no idea why he things there is going to be good stuff at a garage sale. I mean, I know the might be one nice thing, somewhere at a garage sale, but what are the odds that I will happen upon it? And how many million themes will I have to buckle and unbuckle the kids from the car traipsing in and out of all these garage sales?

So back to CL I go.

I feel your pain. I'm looking for a nice, high quality bedroom set, and I keep coming across things like this: denver.craigslist.org/fuo/3694416517.html. If I wanted to spend $6600 on furniture, I'd just take my wallet and go to Pottery Barn. And for that much money, it shouldn't look like it belongs in the Three Bears' house. I don't know why people don't realize that they will have to sell their custom furniture for a fraction of what it cost new.

And another one...I hate when people add key words to the bottom of the post. If I'm looking for a West Elm bed, I don't want your JCP knock off coming up in my search. If I'm shopping for a Honda, I don't care about your Kia. It just irritates me when I'm tricked into looking at something I'm not interested in.

If I had $6K, I'd be at the yearly Stickley sale.

That bed reminds me of the themed rooms at WDW's old Dixie Landings. DH got a splinter from one once.
