Furniture to get rid of....

[froggy_dear]

Hey Madison people -

I'm moving and I hate waste... I have some pieces of furniture that I plan to try and sell, but I thought I'd let you all know first.


Bookcases - 5 and 6 adjustable shelves, respectively. Purchased at shopko within the last two years. Very good shape. $45ish for both (not matching finishes)

Media bookcase - black, adjustable shelves. Good shape, bought in the last couple of years. Comes with Powerpuff Girl stickers and useful label "Music" $20ish

Papasan chair - seen better days, but still useful. Red cushion. $15

Two metal 3-shelf units (about hip high)- $10

Drop leaf table - blond wood finish, only one leaf has the thing to make the leaf go out. I imagine it can be fixed. - $8

Dresser - Four drawers, bottom drawer falling apart a little. $10

Set of lamps - Fakey tortoise shell glass shades. One desk lamp, one floor lamp. Floor lamp has chunk out of shade. $7

George Foreman Grill - rarely used. $7

Blender - from Walmart. $5

AC Unit - this will be the last thing to leave the apartment, but it's not coming with us. Bought last summer it works really well, but is kinda filthy (we're above the nasty filthy parking lot). Cleaning will be attempted, but spotlessness is unlikely. But it works! $50ish



So these are the things that I'm hoping to trade for money. It would be best if they could leave between August 8th and 12th.

Pictures are better than me trying to describe things.

This is the 6 shelf bookcase. It is surrounded by clutter. This one is lighter than the other one.


The 5 shelf bookcase. Really fuzzy image, but the color is good enough. I noticed a small sort of chip on it, but that was there when we got it.


And while we're at it - The table... also really fuzzy, but you can see the color and get an idea of the size.

That's why we ended up getting these suckers! But they don't come apart, so they'd eat up too much space to move them.

I've been surprised by how sturdy they are. Some out-of-box furniture is flimsy, but these are decently weighted.

Where about are you at?

We drive right past Beaver Dam going from here to the parental units' houses - and we'll be doing a lot of back and forth in early August.

What I mean is that, if you do want them, we can deliver!

shopko

I don't miss much about WI, but I miss ShopKo...

[froggy-dear.livejournal.com]

There's a certain appeal to ShopKo. I spent many hours wandering through ShopKo in Sheboygan, making fun of things, testing the chairs, and playing with the toys.... It's more pleasant than Walmart.

[goingdriftless.livejournal.com]

Agreed. It's like... classier than Wallies or K-Mart... but not quite Target... Good prices, as I recall... and well... just... ShopKo!

When I was in college at St. Norbert in Green Bay, one of the school reps who promoted the Swinging Knights show choir was the ShopKo Lady... I can't recall her name... but she was on ALL the shopko commercials on TV for a looooong time... skinny, long brown hair, probably in her early 50's now... *sigh and giggle* You probably have no idea what I'm talking about...

[froggy-dear.livejournal.com]

Yeah. And since we had ALL FOUR in and around town (though Target only came in in the past couple years)... well... you made the rounds at night when you were bored (and in high school). Not a lot to do. Nope.

Shopko lady doesn't ring a bell. If you'd have said Menard's guy, then I'd know. But Shopko lady? I'm not sure they do much tv advertising now.

I might be able to use the AC unit; in fact, I probably can.
