Greetings~ I am new and love this thread. Here is my recent find from a Craigslist ad. First of all
it was amazing. I only went over to look at a particular piece and walked into this little Filipino ladies house and saw she had a complete living room, dinette set and bar with stools. It was very hard to maintain composure but ...she knew I liked what I saw. Then out of no where she told me I could have everything, all 17 prices for $800. The bar alone was what I was originally after and that was her price for the bar. So, i basically bought the bar and got everything else for free. All pieces match each other including the dinette set. And they all have the same color Formica. It was a dream to come across. The lady was very sweet and sentimental with the pieces but she told me she would only give me that deal If I took all of it. She didn't want to separate it at all. It was all given to her by another Filipino lady who was married to an American GI in the 40s who was station somewhere in the Pacific. He bought this all for them when they got married and when this lady got married the original lady gave it to her. Now it is sentimental to me. I'm super happy. Everything that i bought was her entire living room set and kitchen set.
