Yesterday while working in the backyard, I told Richard that I thought we could sell Tatum's playset on Craigslist for $100.  He told me "No Way, nobody would pay $100 for a used playset."  Well, I woke up at 2:30am thinking about this last night.  I got up and started looking on Craigslist to see if anyone else had something similar on there.  There were a couple, priced around $75-$100.  I couldn't wait for the sun to rise, so I could get out there and take a couple of pictures and post it on Craigslist.  I got up, took Tatum to school, then went out back, took 2 pictures, and posted them with a $100 price tag on Craigslist at 9:30 this morning.  By 9:37, I had 2 emails inquiring about the playset.  By 10:20, I had to take the post down because of the overwhelming response I was getting on this.  I had 32 hits all together from people wanting it.  I had people willing to come from Oklahoma to pick it up, another lady offered me $125.00 without even knowing I was getting so many inquiries!  I was SHOCKED!!  I picked the 2nd person who offered full price for it.  She is coming today to pick it up.  I wish I had waited longer to commit, no telling how much someone might have offered me!  I had Richard take it down and put it in the garage before he left for work.  When I went to pick Tatum up, I had to break the news to her that we were selling her playset.  I realized after selling it, that she does still play on it sometimes.  I told her that we sold it so we could get her something really cool for her birthday!  She was OK with that!  Since selling the playset this morning, I have posted another ad on Craigslist to sell my Lamps!  Let's hope I get as much response as I did this morning!!!
