This Is A Dinning Room Buffet – $350

This Is A Beautiful Dinning Hutch….It Has Been In The Family 4 Along Time!!! But It Is Just “BIG” 2 Take With Us Or We Would!!!
I Know If U Seen It U Would Fall In LOVE With It….It Is Just That “NICE”!!!! So If U Would Like 2 Take A Look, Just Give Me A Call.

river.girl sends in this listing, saying,

“I know you’ve discussed dinning room furniture on YSaC before, but I can’t recall if you actually determined what a dinning room is. So I was very excited to see this listing that would show me, if not what a dinning room was, at least what a dinning room buffet might look like. With odd capitalization. And texting abbreviations. And quotes around the word “nice” when describing the buffet. Or maybe its a dinning hutch?”

Dinning table is actually one of the most popular search engine terms that results in people finding this site. I keep hoping that people who end up here after searching for that will learn something in the process, but it doesn’t seem to be the case.

    I bet it’s not much later than the early 50s. It has the ubiquitous scalloped trim seen in a lot of kitchens of the post war pre-mid century era. I’m thinking it’s overpriced for its probable age; unless it’s made of cherry or another hardwood and in fantastic condition, I’d knock a hundred dollars off the price, unless they intend to deliver it.

    Is it really that hard to type “for” instead of “4”? And saving one whole key-stroke by typing “2” instead of “to”? Really?? How lazy we have become…

      Not only that, but on my phone (that doesn’t have a keypad), when texting, it takes more keystrokes to put the number 2 into a text than it does to type ‘to’.

        Personally, I’m Amazed By The Constant Capitalization. That Takes Effort.

        (Seriously, it does! Try it!)

    This is what happens when people text message all the time. Their brains slowly slip out and they start thinking in text speak.

    It’s certainly “NICE”. And it “DOESN’T” make me want to “HURL” at “ALL”.

    A dinning table is like a dining table, but it makes a much louder noise when you break it.

    I like the new theme.

      i agree! i thought something was wrong with your wordpress/blogger/whatever engine and reloaded a few times before i realized it was white & gray to stay.

      I also agree. I much preferred the old theme.

    There are four pictures, so you would think you would get a pretty good idea of what it looks like from all angles. Not so much.

    And once again, we have a piece of Dinning room furniture that is just TOO BIG to fit into a picture, so you never see the entire thing.

    Maybe a Dinning room is like a Dining room, only much bigger?
