any place sell bare root raywood ash in bay area?
Comments (2)Not sure about bare-root, but does that matter to you? I'm sure the nurseries will have regular non-bare-root ones. We used to have one in Walnut Creek (much hotter than Fremont), and it was one of the best trees we ever enjoyed. Fast growing, but grows in a beautiful shape, no maintenance except raking all the leaves (but they last a long time -- green through October and then all fall in mid-November at once). Never had any diseases. Fairly compact roots, but in a lawn area, some come to the surface. Highly recommended!...See MoreWhere are your go-to places for selling your used furniture?
Comments (8)Of the places you and others have mentioned, I've only ever used Craigslist for selling large furniture, though most of what I sell isn't super high end (we're not at the point of down-sizing yet). I have bought a few higher end items (antiques) through Craigslist at what I would consider fair prices, though less than what an antique store would charge. My general rule of thumb for buying through Craigslist is I don't pay more for an item than I think I could re-sell it for if I change my mind. I love Craigslist for the simplicity and ease, and have never had a bad experience selling (or buying) items through the site, though as others have mentioned you just have to make sure you ignore the scammers. It's easy to weed them out once you know to expect them anytime you list something of significant value. Just read the page on their site that details typical scams and follow the guidelines to avoid being scammed. Craigslist didn't work well for my in-laws when they were downsizing a couple of years ago, but they were also on a tight schedule and I thought they were asking WAY too much for their furniture. I listed it for them but didn't have the heart to tell them that it just wasn't worth much in today's market, even though they took great care of it and kept all the original receipts. They eventually donated it because no one was interested at the prices they wanted for it and they ran out of time. If you'd rather get something than nothing, you just need to price it low enough and someone will buy it. If you are selling 80s/90s honey oak furniture, it doesn't matter how nicely its been cared for, the market is saturated with it and realistically you are not going to get much for it. Take a look on your local Craigslist and see what the market is like in your area. Is there a lot of furniture like what you are wanting to sell, and how much are other people asking for it? If your items are priced to sell, they will sell. humbleandkind's advice to be willing to break up sets is excellent advice for the secondhand market. People are often looking for individual pieces and sets aren't as popular as they used to be, so you'll likely get more for your items if you are open to selling pieces individually. I bought our breakfast table off of Craigslist and it came with chairs I didn't like, so I just re-sold them on Craigslist to 3 different buyers. Good luck with your move!...See MoreAny good places to buy or sell excess or unneeded tile?
Comments (15)Hi, came across this thread in looking for a place to sell our (still-in-box) leftover tile. I see the resounding statements that people don‘t want small quantity, and while I believe donating is a great way to go, I badly need to try and recoup some cost. When i was choosing tile for our project, if someone had been selling any quantity of the same tile (new in box) at discount, I would have been delighted to buy that and thereby reduce quantity I had to buy at full price. 40 boxes of tile is more expensive than 30 boxes boxes, particularly when dealing with high-end product! I feel like there *should* be a market for this; any help or tips woild be greatly appreciated! To the original poster, Corinne, I know this post is 4 years old, but is there a place we may see the list you compiled? thanks!...See MoreSpeaking of fire places.... equipment
Comments (9)I'm looking at a 44 linear at the link below. Most manufacturer sites have a 'where to buy' on the site. Go to Google Maps for your location and type in fireplace in the search box - I'm sure you'll see what's local. Quality is not cheap so depends on your req'ts. https://www.fireplacex.com/products/gas-fireplaces/linear-premium-gas-fireplaces/...See Morebranton_travis_yahoo_com
