Just wanted to add that where I suspect there was a scam (in fact I might even call it fraud) is in regard to Greyhound and insurance. He insurred each chair for $300 and from the sound of it, was assuming I'd make a claim through Greyhound and get reimbursed for the cost of the chair plus have one functional chair. He did not bet on my taking it to a antique furniture restoration store (which I might not have except that I needed to get my dining room chair fixed) and that person telling me that he saw these types of things all the time in insurance claims and said and put in writing that it was clearly not shipping related damage. When I spoke to Paypal they said this is the type of information they look for when handling a dispute. Now my other issue is if I send it back do I insure it (it's my understanding that Greyhound will insure for $300 for no additional cost). There is a page where the cost of the item is declared. For the damaged chair, I want to declare a cost of $0 since I want to prevent him from filing a Greyhound claim on return. FOr the other chair DH and I were discussing 1/2 the cost I paid--about $100.

Totally agree with Toomuch. Go back to Lurkdom if you can't say anything nice, realtor person. You started bashing us before even introducing yourself and seeing if you would receive a warm welcome. Which, you did, by the way get a warm welcome even after you accused us here of being clique-ish. Ridiculous. I think you owe everyone here an apology, especially Nicethyme. That is, if you have the nerve to post again. AND, did anyone notice that this realtor person registered with GW the same day he/she told everyone off? Are you kidding me with this?! P.S. Stuff in the link was pretty.

I'm not in your area but once considered Jurastone Gray for my bath. I couldn't stain the tile with anything. I tried haircolor, soy sauce, mustard, oil, lipstick, etc. I forgot what happened though with acids like vinegar. Be aware though that it does have these areas that look a little like stains, even when it's brand new. That might, or might not be a good thing ;-). It's got enough going on in different tones and textures from the fossils to hide just about anything. My sample also wasn't even sealed.

I love many of the finds pictured here. I live in an economically depressed, rural area, and most of Craigslist is uninspiring and often unintentionally funny. Some people have big ideas about what their junk is worth! We've done well in the Farm & Garden section, however, both buying and selling. This summer I acquired a riding mower for $375 delivered. The owner is a mechanic (turned out he retired from the company my son works for), and the mower was well cared for. But mostly I came back here to thank My3dogs for starting this thread. As soon as I saw the title, I remembered that it had been awhile since I last checked Craigslist for a cedar wardrobe. My house is very old, and has almost no closets. I've been keeping my various jackets in an ancient but worthless wardrobe that is ready to fall apart, so I've been looking for a good replacement for about a year. Most of the ones listed had no bar for hanging clothes, and were overpriced anyway. So I saw your thread and went directly to Craigslist, where I found the perfect cedar wardrobe: just the right size, with a bar inside the top and a nice drawer on the bottom--for $75! The people even agreed to keep it for me until after Christmas, when my son can get it with his pickup. Thanks, and happy holidays to all!
