Experiment

We wanted to sell our crib on Craigslist.
I would have given it away for free, but figured that we might as well get a few bucks out of it.
We posted it for $40 with this picture.
Nothing.
Well, a few scams and a couple solicitations, but nothing good.
I couldn't figure out what the problem was. Yes, the picture could have been better, but all the other decent cribs on the Portland Craigslist were $75+.
So I raised the price by $20 and posted this picture instead.
We sold it that night.
Maybe it was the bear.

Thats so funny!!!! It reminds me of the story when someone put tires out in their front yard and put a sign that said free. After a few days and no takers, they put up a sign that said $20 each and they were stolen that night.
Good times!!!
People are so weird... especially Portland people! I forgot to ask tom about Logan's eye appt. Hopefully it was not too stressful! And, hey, yeah, I don't like the idea that you sold your crib ??? :(.
Keep Portland weird... right?!?
The eye appointment went well. Logan thought the eye exam the nurse was doing with him was boring so he made up his own rules to it. She was good though, and went along with it. The doctor didn't have to poke around the bump too much, so Logan didn't have any breakdowns. Hopefully this is the last doctor appointment he has in a while. Our emotions and wallets (darn expensive hospitals) can't take much more. :)
I don't like the idea of us selling the crib either. If you find a baby for us I will go buy a new one today!
