It's real :P It's a piece of real furniture as opposed to a ghost chair...oh dang those are real too heh heh Neh it's an antique. It has the right lines, right wood, etc. But I hate pics like that because I can't tell condition. You'd really want to be sure it's in good shape if it is pricy...how much do they want?

Red, I saw that one. It's a nice sideboard, particularly the carving at the top! Alas, it's not quite what I'm looking for. I'm hoping to find a small buffet in cherry that is very french. There is a really nice one that's been listed for a while but it's huge. I actually have something like 15 different CL feeds coming into my-yahoo.com for various items I'm looking for, including "sideboard," "buffet," and "french" for this particular search, and I check them daily. I'm not in a big hurry to snag a buffet though. If I find one, great; if not, oh well. It's fun to see what people have to offer though!

thanks.. it's good to know the glass is a good deal.. since I have only come across scraps, I don't know how much a real piece would cost.. I have looked at the glass on the glass store sites but never went as far as to compare prices at all. I know that I love the iridescent ones... and heck, I like all the colors...who wouldn't? so, he's going to call me, between 8 and 9am... I can at least see what's there and maybe have him hold some, for getting it in bunches...he's not moving...it's just that he said he doesn't need it any longer. winter is so close...it would be a great time to acquire it. I've been gone for the past few hours and have time to get my thoughts straight and actually have some ideas in mind to begin with.. like a unicorn, for the cancer survivor friend of mine..who collects special unicorns. and a moose, for one daughter who loves them... and a cabin in the woods.... ;(*_*);

Just log on to www.craigslist.org and click on your state. Then, scroll through the cities listed and see if your town or one near enough to drive to is listed. Then, you can check out job listings, autos for sale, or even furniture. If there's an active CL in your area, you might even click on garage sales near the weekend. Some people put their garage sales on CL that are not advertised elsewhere. Now, if you are looking for furniture, maybe a dresser, you can either click on Furniture and scroll through the ads, or you can type "dresser" in the search box and just pull up ads that have "dresser" in the message. Hopefully, there will be good pictures and a good contact number for the seller. There's usually a contact email at the top of the ad. Sometimes there's a phone number too. I prefer the ads with phone numbers, since I don't want to wait to have someone contact me by email. Now, if you want to go see the dresser, you just contact the seller and tell them you are interested. Pretty much the same as replying to a newspaper ad. Except the paper doesn't have a picture. You don't pay anything to use Craigslist to buy. And the seller can upload their ad along with up to 4 pictures, also for free. Selling is almost as easy as buying. Once you register with CL, you can post your ad. You need a good tag line........Antique wardrobe with Mirrored Doors $300 for example. Then, write your ad. Make sure you put all kinds of details, measurements, and your price. Think hard about including your phone number. Why not? You WANT people to get in touch with you, you WANT people to come over to see your Antique wardrobe, you WANT to sell it. And if you only have your craigslist email contact number, you could miss that buyer who had to go on to work after emailing you, but is hoping you will contact him to make an appointment. If you sell your wardrobe, be sure to use your email contact with craigslist to delete the ad. You don't want the ad to keep generating calls. And if you can, list your item on a Friday or a Saturday. People are really looking for things on a weekend, so that gives you the most exposure. Your ad will fall off eventually, but it may take a month. Red
