Desk in the upstairs bedroom

Deb, you greatly inspire me with your photos, postings and efforts.
I looked around my living room the other day wondering what I'd take with me if I moved.
The answer was none of it.

Due to noise and neighbor issues, pets defecating in the yards, physical threats etc,
I'm seriously thinking to move somewhere else good for seniors, but don't know where that would be.

OMG! Can you leave the area. Try a all senior mobile park? Your situation sounds a little like mine when I owned a house. Lousy nasty neighbors. It's not good to live like that.

I've been thinking of moving for quite a long time, and reached the tipping point a couple of days ago.
Where I go and what I do then is an open question, but there is plenty to do to get ready in the meantime.
First is to take an inventory and make a plan for clearing this place out to be ready, so I will do that and then
post an update in my diary thread. There would be advantages to living more of a free life than I'm living now.

I hope you find someplace and a place that is affordable for you.
 
I put the desk up for sale on Marketplace and got a bite. He was supposed to come today and get it, but I received an email saying he couldn't make it. At least he let me know. I emailed back asking if he wanted to reschedule. So far, no response.

I've attempted to contact the person that was supposed to come Wednesday (but said he couldn't make it then) and buy the smaller desk and asked if he wanted to reschedule. I've done this several times and all he ever answers is "OK". How do I interpret that?

It sounds like he doesn't want it to me and just won't tell you. If he did, he would come on and get it because he would be afraid someone else would. That's the way I would take it.
 
All you can do is wait and see if he contacts you. Don’t contact him again, he might be getting frustrated.

Probably my parents bought this at an auction or estate sale in the 1970s. I don't know if it's an antique, looks old, though. It was so dusty, I tried to clean it with furniture polish and it ended up looking smudged. Probably made mud with the dust. It has 4 drawers. Dimensions in photo. I sent the photos to an online appraiser, but haven't heard anything yet.

I doubt I can fit it i my new house - I already have a huge roll-top.

I really like the first desk and I would keep it.
 
I think your new home is smaller. This desk is too big and bulky. I am sure someone would buy it.

A little more elbow grease with Murphy's Oil will make it shine.
