I’m always hearing about how dead Craigslist is for sales while I’m selling stuff on Craigslist. I posted about my downsizing campaign and it’s going surprisingly well lately. I just sold all three antique aircraft book collections for $250 USD. About what I’d hoped for but quicker than expected. Four days!

I asked $140 for each hardbound set, total $280. But he wavered with wallet in hand, did Dan from Rocklin, so said I’d take $250 and I’d throw in Captain Brown’s books gratis.

His locomotion with half the heavy 1st box was sketchy on my steep lawsuit stairs, in his stylish Placer County cowboy boots and 74 year old legs. So I toted the 2nd box down, knowing the terrain, and being a year younger.

Don’t want to get my landlord sued with an injury claim. The stairs front and back are quite hazardous, and out of code when built cheaply and quickly in 1995 après le déluge.

Still marveling at the empty top of my CD hutch where the aircraft books were used to being. I put money in my purse. Now, I’ve no need to go banking.

I even have the $1,500 I owe the never-quite-ex for taxes and flood insurance on our mutual house she lives in. But she’s a good old soul and a saint to baby animals.

It’s my dad’s ancient old hutch crammed with my backup music CDs. I’ll load the top with guitar junk, then donate the cheesy guitar junk desk. Still more space/freedom/easy sweeping.

Those 350 music CDs inside the hutch are more dead weight since every one is ripped and on my phone, for easy Bluetooth listening. More lucrative CL downsize selling indicated here.

And I thought the kayak would sell first. Shows what I know. But it’s so cute, someone will fall in love with it. It’s summer. Now I’m encouraged to get rid of mo stuff, fo mo money. Cause I’m sittin’, sittin’ on top, top of the world, I’m rollin’ along, singin’ a song…
