Sofa for sale!

We talked to a cabinet maker from Oregon who was at the Tucson FMCA Conference about making us a two-hole desk where we could both have a workspace inside Gracie. Right now, Carl's computer is next to where he sits at the dining table, and mine is on the dining table when I'm using it. We would prefer to have our computers located away from our eating area. We currently have two sofas, and feel that we only need one. We have an appointment with the cabinet maker for June in Oregon, and are looking to sell one of the sofas in preparation for having that piece of furniture made.

We got it all vacuumed, including vacuuming under the mattress and inside the hide-a-bed area -- Carl had me trapped in there and threatened to sell me with the sofa...

We've advertised it on Craigslist in Antelope Valley where we are right now (https://losangeles.craigslist.org/ant/fuo/d/acton-flexsteel-sleeper-sofa-rv/7469264674.html). We don't know whether there will be anyone interested in it or not, but we figure we can take the ad down when we leave here, and put it up again in the next location where we're stopped. We think that it could be used in a regular house too, but we really don't know what the back of the sofa looks like. We're hesitant to take it apart until the buyer is here as they will have to observe how to put it back together!

We're already getting spam responses (we have gotten 4, and they all seem shady -- not being willing to communicate via Craigslist, wanting our phone number). One is definitely shady -- offering us $50 over the price if we are willing to hold it until he can get someone to pick it up -- he wants to send us a cashiers check.

Oh well, if we can get it sold, then we will put a table in its place and try using it as our desk and figure out features that we would like to have built-in to the new desk -- or... that's our thought!
