The Goodrums

So when our movers dropped our stuff off, they told us that since this was a corporate move we would have a debris haul away. We should just collapse the boxes, stick them in our garage and call them when we were ready to have them do the pick up. We followed our nice little instructions and accumulated quite the box mound in the garage as we unpacked.

Last week, I called our moving coordinator and asked her how much notice we needed to give since we were almost ready for our debris pick up. Well, she backtracked and said we that a debris pick up wasn't part of our contract. Honestly, it was no big deal - because we have dumpsters all over our neighborhood - but, at the same time, we didn't really want to just trash perfectly good boxes (when they do the debris pick up they supposedly recycle them). Still, we were definitely ready to get the boxes out of the garage.

So Denver has this cool service (not just Denver - lots of places) called Craigslist, where you can buy, sell and barter all kinds of stuff. On Tuesday night, we decided to post our boxes under the "Free Stuff" section on Craigslist to see if we could get rid of them. Oh my gosh, it was a feeding frenzy! We got our first response within 2 minutes and got five responses within the first hour. The people showed up to pick up the boxes in under an hour. We got a huge kick out of it - and we were glad to be able to bless some other people with our unwanted boxes (plus, our garage has much more space now).

We just hope the response is that good when we post our "spare" range for sale (unfortunately on the quick turnover count, it won't be free).
