Sorry to interrupt the festivities with something this mundane, but I'm trying to unload some furniture -- actually, a whole living room set -- prior to my move into a new townhouse. I figured that maybe one of the Marylanders might be interested or know someone who is interested.

Here's a description of the living room set:

- one full-size, poofy, green couch
- one poofy, green loveseat
- one poofy, green chair
- one poofy, green ottoman
- 1 glass coffee table with neo-classical base
- 2 glass end tables with neo-classicial bases
- 2 non-descript large lamps

The material on the poofy pieces is sort of like velour. There is an ink stain under the seat cushions of the sofa, but otherwise the furniture is in very good shape. We hope to get $1000 for the whole set, but we are extremely willing to negotiate. OK, fine, let's start the bidding at $750. (I suck at this negotiation thing.) The whole set cost about $1800 when it was bought new 3 years ago.

If anyone is interested at all, I can post some photos of said living room set. If nobody is interested, I'll just curl up into the fetal position and cry...

No, that was me.

I'm sure that if you're thinking about giving it away somebody'll buy it for a few hundred bucks. And you could always burn it and claim it on your renter's insurance.

Did I just type that out loud?

It's not like I see in black and white, just sometimes things get mixed up. Which is why my wife won't let me pick out my own clothes anymore.

My wife doesn't let me dress myself sometimes, but it's not because I'm colorblind. It's just that I'm stupid and have no taste. That's what she tells me, anyway.
