I would if we had any. Because of the ones for cheap or free on craigslist and the local flea market, those stores don't stay open long. Neither do the used furniture stores.
Also, people are so cheap around here it's pathetic. They want everything to come with a warranty, even if it's dirt cheap.
A few years ago, i tried selling my side by side Kenmore fridge that I didn't need anymore for $75. No calls. Lowered it to $50, still nothing.

When i brought it all home, I was by myself. I put the stove in first, then propped the edge of the tub on the tailgate and slid it on the bedliner until it was in. Then I bear hugged the dryer and put it on top of the tub and ratchet strapped it down. After I got it home and sorted and stripped some of the stuff, I had a friend help me reload it to what you see in the pic. With the Toyota being a 2wd, it sits low enough to load that kind of stuff easily by myself. And the plastic bedliner helps a lot, too.

Yup. Work smarter, not harder.
