oversized chair (middlefield)<\/h2>\n
\n

This item is free, oversized comfy chair…would be great with a cover, and it’s free!
\n\"415a\"<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I like how they’re really highlighting the “free” part. Unfortunately, free<\/em> rhymes with the word I can’t help but thinking of when I look at this chair. That unfortunate linguistic coincidence disinclines me towards taking this chair, regardless of how “great” it would be with a cover. Unless that cover is made of antibacterial latex and is two feet thick, I think I’ll pass, thanks.<\/p>\n

Although, on second thought, it doesn’t look too bad compared to these …

sofa<\/h2>\n
\n

Great condition except for the paint stains on cushions. (all cushions can be flipped over) 77″ U move it, U can have it.<\/p>\n

\"415\"<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yep, flipping the cushions over will solve all<\/em> of the problems with this sofa. Excellent plan, sparky.<\/p>\n

Then again, that sofa is so hideous that the paint sort of improves it. It could actually use more<\/em> paint, now that I think about it. I’d add some red, I think. That would really brighten it up.<\/p>\n

And then there’s this …<\/p>\n

Custom Baker Sofa – $300<\/h2>\n
\n

My great aunt was found on sofa when we went to check on her She was fully dresses at the time . Her Estate is now for sale there are a few great Bargins!
\nCome and get them at great prices! . Cushions have all been cleaned all stains came out. slight smell will fade in time.
\n\"415b\"<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I … um.<\/p>\n

Ew.<\/p>\n

No, really. Ew. I mean, we appreciate that you cleaned the sofa and removed the dead auntie stains and all; that was very considerate of you. I’m just not going to pay $300 for the couch upon which your great auntie died. It’s a bad sign if you have to include the phrase “slight smell will fade in time” in a listing, regardless of what that smell is. I don’t care if it’s the smell of popcorn and bacon, I don’t want it. I especially don’t want it if your picture conveniently covers up the part of the sofa upon which dead auntie would have started … pining for the fjords, let’s say.<\/p>\n
