Trying to save some cash as an unpaid intern. Anyone happen to have a decent couch they want to get rid of and/or any lamps of any kind? I checked FB marketplace first, craigslist and freecycle. Thanks in advance, neighbors!
When you say you tried Facebook, did that include joining/posting an #ask in your local Buy Nothing group? That’s what I’d try.
If you can’t find something free I recommend checking the returns section of Ikea. I’ve found lots of almost-new stuff at a steep discount. Some days might be better than others - some locations put returns out as they get them, others wait over the weekend and put everything out Monday morning.
Check NextDoor and OfferUp
The buy nothing group for your area is amazing for stuff like this. Facebook group.
I would think farts would be the least of your worries, with a couch.😂😂
I second this
I think about these things due to my OCD lol
Best comment, thank you for your contribution 🙏
I will try New Haven buy nothing group, thank you! I’m a member of “tag sale” groups but they seem to be full of scammers.
Ooh Monday morning is the time to go? I love that section.
Ok, how about a few random sharts?
Don’t know anyone buying couches on Reddit
I'd check the Habitat for Humanity ReStores in Stratford and Wallingford.
How much do you want to spend? I have a couch in my basement (covered) it's a Lazy Boy and bc it was under warranty, I had it serviced so it's looks brand new but we're not using it and probably never will. I'd really like it gone.
Edit: it's like a medium charcoal gray, sort of smooth material like microfiber but not, and reclines on either end of the sofa but the middle piece doesn't recline and you can pull it apart so that you can move it more easily.
I have a desk lamp and floor lamp. Excellent working condition, bulbs included. Hamden. $25 total LMK
Can you DM me please?
Hi, thank you so much! I was thinking $100 but I know that’s really not much.
Let me be the first
I'll sell my couch for $250 but don't think I can go lower. It's practically brand new and was serviced with brand new foam and all that jazz.
Ok thank you, I understand!
check out Savers! it’s got the cheapest furniture imo. also the Goodwill Outlet on State St! I’ve gotten bookshelves for $1 at the latter and large mirrors + rocking chairs for under $10, and last time I was there, every single sofa was under $100. good luck, OP!
I have a couch that needs some reupholstering and some cleaning. My dog took it over so canine farts only.

I have a couch but I'll be honest, I mercilessly rained down hellfire from deep within my bowels on that thing. Lmk tho
