Can someone take this gosh darn mattress?
Five minutes after my first post, I had three offers for a Queen Simmons Beautyrest mattress. Two of the offers were for $80, and the third offer had so many questions regarding coil counts I decided he didn’t deserve it.
Ben suggested I counter their offer. I asked for $100, and they didn’t write back.
A few days later I re-posted, and all the offers that came in were for $50. Fine. Just take it. YankeeDaddy07 made an appointment to come on Sunday at 2pm.
At 2:30 he called and said he’d be here at 5. He also told us his real name, but we referred to him only as YD.
At 6 he said he’d be here later on. Annoyed, we dragged the thing out in the hall, leaned it against the wall, and left to go to the gym - but not before writing a note and taping it to the awkward obstruction in the hall.
Last night turned into this morning, and the mattress was still there. At that point I posted it on Craigslist as a free item. Just come get it. Still the questions came flying in! It’s a free mattress, come get it or don’t. Don’t they did.
Two hours ago YankeeDaddy07 emailed me and said he’d be coming tonight between 10 and 1030 to get it, and he would give us $20. Fine. Sure. I think he is insane. I told him we weren’t home and to put the money under the door. I don’t even care if he puts anything under the door as long as he saves me the trouble of dragging it outside.
It’s currently 10:18. I doubt he comes. If at 11 it’s still there I’m gonna have to pull it out to the corner and leave it. I feel awful about doing that because it’s raining and I’m sure there are a zillion people that could use a really good bed.
Anyone in Manhattan need a good bed? It’s only been peed on like 4, 5, 6 never times.
