Dishwasher Glory!

Well......here is a story I find very funny! I'm going to let my pride shine through a bit! We recently bought a new dishwasher so we would have all matching appliances in the remodeled kitchen. Our old dishwasher has been sitting out on the back patio for awhile, and Aaron told me I had 2 weeks to figure out something to do with it. I have been telling him I wanted to try to make some money off of it, but he told me I would be lucky if I made $5. So if I couldn't figure out something soon it was headed down the street to the DI. We have never had a problem with the dishwasher before, and it is only like 1 1/2 years old......the only draw back it has is it is pretty darn loud. So, yesterday I put it on Craigs List with a catchy description and a few pictures. Well last night (less than 8 hours since I posted the dishwasher on Craigs List) Aaron was making fun of me for even doing it saying that I wouldn't get any calls or interest. Guess what!! The phone rang!! And it was a lovely lady from Shelley who wanted to buy our dishwasher for our full asking price!! She said she would drive down to Pokey the next day and pick it up. SWEET!!! I didn't totally let my head get to the size of Kobe Bryant's (watching the playoffs right now) and rub it in Aaron's face. I had to wait till the cash was in my hands and dishwasher was headed back to Shelley. Sure enough my lady showed up tonight and gave me my cash and Aaron put it in her truck. Put a check mark next to my task of selling the dishwasher. Booya! I'm not done yet.............I had 2 other phone calls and 2 emails all interested in buying my dishwasher! All in less than 24 hours. I think I should have asked for a little more money! Aaron actually called me tonight while he was at mutual asking me to take the dishwasher off CraigsList because he got another call!!! This is such a great story because Aaron doubted me and I proved him wrong! He has apologized and has praised my abilities. Now he wants to head to the DI and stock up on a few things and sell them on Craigs List! Not really! What a lovely day it has been!

Craigslist is so HUGE here and I actually have a friend that garage sales and resales on craigslist. Last year she made enough to buy new furniture. I sold my eliptical on there and the same thing happened to me. Callers and emails like crazy all wanting to be the first here. Funny!!
