I though this would be snapped up, but after posting it for sale on Craig's List and several Facebook local sale pages, I haven't had one nibble. I even asked around in church today and the first thing everyone said was "How big is it?" When I told them, most lost interest. Two people came to look at it after church. One said he would have taken it if he had a vehicle big enough for it to fit in. The woman said she wouldn't have that filthy thing in her house. It is a little dusty because I've been storing flowerpots, gardening tools and potting soil on it. And if you're going to ask, it's 62" tall, 37" long and 24" wide.

If no one takes it for free, please don't burden a charity with throwing it out on your behalf. Their trash bills are ridiculously high because of all the non-saleable items sent their way.

A friend who managed a charity thrift store once told me, "One man's trash is rarely another man's treasure. It's pretty much guaranteed to be the the next man's trash, too. If an item's condition is such that you wouldn't wear it proudly or prominently display it in your living room, what makes you think that someone else would want to?"

I've used that guideline ever since.

I vacuumed it and took another photo and re-posted it on the local Facebook online garage sale group. I got 5 inquiries! Can people be that fussy?

Deb. You, of all people on this forum, KNOW probably more than any of us, just how fussy people can be.
I’d get frustrated also if I kept collecting this stuff, putting time & effort into it and in the end it didn’t pan out.
Surely you must be getting frustrated by now?

Does it smell like cats?
 
Would you accept $20?
It doesn’t seem like a lot considering all the work you
have done but you definitely are determined.
I admire your commitment.
Its not something I could do.
 
SOLD! Got my asking price, too and no dickering. A woman and her husband came and he took it apart so it would fit in their car. I pity them trying to get it back together. It took him a while to disassemble it.
