I’m going to see if I can make some real money with this blogging stuff. Real as in selling the gorgeous hutch I’ve had sitting in storage for the past two years because I can’t bear to part with it. I decided to blog about my hutch. Perhaps a link to my blog in the local newspaper will interest someone. I plan to list several other pieces of furniture as well. Here is the reason:
I have decided that it is time to make my “luxury apartment” look a little more luxurious. It is my heart’s desire to have a sofa/chair/ottoman combo that resembles something out of Shag’s artwork. Purple velvet with lime green will do it. If you also like to fantasize about furniture, you can go play with fabrics and styles like I did at J Raymond Furniture. And no, there is no affiliate program there–I am just looking to waste your time, nothing more.
Not having thousands on hand to throw at this endeavor, I created this blog to fund my furniture fund. I call it “Goal-oriented Blogging”, which is something quite different from whatever it is I am doing over here.
So here is the blog.
Michelle’s Yard Sale
I’ll be adding more things to it as I place ads in the newspaper. If, like me, you live in a very rural area with no Craigslist, you may find this is the way to go. I’ll let you know.
While the hutch is a nice piece, the couch and your plans for your new decor more than make up for the loss.
I like time wasters. This looks like a good one! Although I can´t get anything from the store, I will probably muck around with it for a while anyway.
Wow! I really like that hutch. This looks like an interesting project, it will be exciting to see how much traffic that blog gets from the classified ad.
this looks like it will be an interesting new venture in blogging. you may be on to something here.
Michelle this sounds like a really good idea. I have never seen a yard sale blog before.
I did wonder what you were selling at first though. A hutch is something we would keep a pet rabbit in, in the uk! We would call your hutch a dresser. It is very nice - but I think it would cost far too much to ship over here.
Awesome idea, Michelle… I shoulda done this before I took all my DVDs, books, CDs, VHS and vinyl to Amoeba SF and Green Apple books - I probably woulda made more $$.
Being a broke student stinks.
That’s an interesting idea. I’m anxious to know if it works. I’ll check yours out today… you may be onto something!
Good luck! Great idea! I use Craigslist a lot. They didn’t used to be in my area and I just used the closest city. I was still able to find buyers. Just a thought.
