How do I move a couch bought on Craigslist?

[Anonymous]

Try Craigslist.

I wouldn't buy a used couch off CL. Order an inexpensive couch off Wayfair. It'll be nearly the same cost and clean.

A friend sold her white couch on Craigslist after her brother got drunk, broke his nose, then passed out face down on the couch. She woke up to find it *covered* in blood. She cleaned the cover, then sold it on craigslist. You never know what people are selling.

You can find a neighbor with a pickup truck on laborhutt. Probably your cheapest option

Do you think someone will catch a blood borne pathogen from a sofa that has been cleaned so throughly that the buyer can’t spot a huge stain?

We wanted a MCM desk that was sold on CL. I told the seller we would use Taskrabbit to transport the desk and they got really weird suddenly.

The whole deal fell apart over “putting their address in an app”. I can’t understand this paranoia.

how is this a question? Are you non-functioning? Get a uhual.

We’re both short so we’re unsure about being able to carry it up/down stairs by ourselves without damaging us or couch or building. Who should we call to help with this: moving company, Task Rabbit, day laborer? How many people does it take to lift a normal full-size (3seat) couch? What’s a reasonable cost for moving one item cross-town?

Do NOT buy a couch off Craigslist. Just buy one at Ikea. Please. That’s disgusting- mold body fluids mice piss bedbugs

You can buy and deliver a new couch from Ikea for less; for free from Amazon Wayfair etc

I have a truck and loan it to my friends at least one a month for things like this. 2 women can definitely carry a couch as long as it isn’t a sleeper sofa.

Lack of solid wood and you have to assemble.

Not a couch. Go to RH Outlet. Anything but used.

A friend bought a cat pee soaked couch off of Craiglist. The owner was “so helpful” having it wrapped in in heavy duty plastic when they went to pick it up.

You people are so wasteful! This is why the quality of furniture has gone so downhill. People treat furniture like last seasons cheap Walmart tshirt. It’s a shame.
