Oh Craigslist, You Amuse Me So!

Yep. All of our furniture is "vintage." It just sounds nicer than worn out old crap that was donated to us by family, bought at Salvation Army, or found on the curb. LOL

As long as my wife doesn't refer to me as her vintage dear husband, I'm doing good. lol

I just found this item for sale on eBay with the word "vintage" in the title description:



TSC sells a better, newer one for $6.

I just found an awesome table and chair on the curb! Curb shopping can be great!

Best find so far...
One neighbor put out a very unique & intricate 8 legged dining table, with 3 panels, & a protective pad (no chairs). I was thinking about bringing it inside, but we had just bought a nice table on CL. About 20 min later, another neighbor brought it home & then refinished it in his spare time. He resold it for 3.5K!

It was like this one:

I like how they dont even advertise it for chickens, they say it could be a garden planter or candle holder... i guess they're trying to appeal to all the rich hipsters who don't know any better? LOL

Yeah I know but I think that's mostly because that's what it was, if you look in the description it seems they're trying to repurpose it

Wow that's stunning! You should have snapped it up lol. Yeah curb finds can be great! They can of course also flop completely but it's always worth a look.

My mom got a beautiful round wooden coffee table off the curb when I was younger with a glass top it we was very nice. The condos across the road where we lived then gave some interesting things over the years.

That coffee table had been all wrapped up in packing paper and everything but apparently didn't fit in their moving truck. Mom stood it up and rolled it home lol.

Wow, those are some pricey items @Faraday40 They'll probably end up in someone's high rise condo as coffee tables or such. I'll admit, that Super-Hatcher is pretty cool looking!

The super hatcher is super cool! Boy those things would go quite nicely in my library to be lol. Our spare room downstairs I want to make it a library/office with books all over and hopefully a sofa or comfy chair. Etc etc. It will also have a rolltop desk in it. Really though I can see those things in a house of someone who owns chickens like my house. Sadly the people who end up with them probably have no connection to chickens and just want a conversation piece.
