Hey Thortiki,

I actually got that set for a steal! The asking price was $3,000.00 and considering the shape and band count it was well deserved. I watched the set on craigslist for about a month before offering the seller $1,000.00 after several rounds of negotiation I ended up purchasing it for $1,100.00 :wink:

As for the bar, I bought it from a seller in San Diego CA. The buy it now price was $400.00 which included the shipping cost. When I picked it up from the arrival destination the shipping receipt totaled $250.00 dollars which meant I bought it for $150.00 and paid %250.00 for shipping. The secrete when buying non-locally is to find products that include shipping.

This frankl 6 band couch is located in Silver Spring on ebay, you should check it out!

This couch has been listed several times on ebay, which means they have not had any luck selling it, you should try and contact them locally and negotiate the price :wink:
