So, the wife and I are looking for a new couch. We really want a leather one this time but $2000 is just more than I am willing to spend.
I decided to check on Craig's List and it is ridiculous. I'm not sure of the ins and outs or pitfalls of buying from individuals or using Craig's List but it's darn tempting to get a couch that might have been $1500 tor $2000 new for a couple of hundred.
I know used furniture can be kinda gross but it's not like we're buying a mattress and it can't be more gross than what we're living with now. I would, of course, check that the furniture is still in decent shape.
I think there are a lot of people having trouble paying their mortgages. I know the bears predicted good deals on all sorts of things...
After checking various things, I may never set foot in a store again.
The key is to get the wife on board with the idea. What do you all think?
