[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I agree re not buying used mattresses and a fabric sofa, but wood stuff like a dresser--yes![/b]

I sold some beautiful, very expensive furniture, dining room table and chairs, on Craigslist last year for a song.  omg we had it for 10 years and never used it (maybe 5 times total).

We moved to DC in a hurry so it came along.  After a couple of months, I thought, wow, we didn't use it in our old house, and now we're not using it in our rental.  Let's sell it and free up the space!

Furniture doesn't resale well so you can get a great deal.

I'm writing this because what I learned from this experience is that this area is so great for buying stuff like this because people are always in transition around here.  For example, with every new president (and especially if party changes) a bunch of folks exit, and people often decide they don't want to move their furniture.  And military people getting new posts.  Etc.

So right now, post-election, there's a bunch of people that will be leaving DC soon.[/quote]

(Smacks forehead repeatedly) Once again, bedbugs, unlike headlice, have no particular affinity for upholstery. The live in wood furniture, too!! Any bedroom furniture, even dressers, will be high risk. [/quote]
