This bedroom set is 25 years old. It was used only as a guest room and maybe slept on 10 times a year. It is like new. It would be great for a girls' bedroom or for a guest room. We love this set, but our spare bedroom is too small for all of the pieces. We are asking for $750.00 (or best offer) for the entire set. We do not want to break the set apart. It will be sold as a package deal. Please email Jules0203@yahoo.com if you have any questions or need any more information.

Juiceman Jr. Juicer - SOLD!

Make healthy drinks from fresh fruits and vegetables! This Juiceman Jr. was bought from a department store for about $60 a few years ago when we got on a health kick. Since then we really haven't used it. We have the complete manual with recipe book as well. We are asking $5 and will ship this at your expense if your prefer not to pick it up in person. If you have any questions, email Jules0203@yahoo.com

Nordic Trak - SOLD

This is the original wooden Nordic Trak from the early 90's. It helps you to exercise by simulating cross country skiing. The machine works as it should. I am not sure about the calorie counter, etc. as the battery has been dead for a while. The skiis move back and forth and the cord swings back and forth with your arms as you hold the grips. The machine folds flat for easy transport and storage. We basically just want to get this out of our garage. It was stored in the house until about a month ago. We are asking $5 or best offer. Come and get it! Email Jules0203@yahoo.com with any questions.

Dresser Set - SOLD

(Tall dresser 1)

(Tall Dresser 1)

(Dresser handle detail)

(Shorter dresser 2 - can convert to a changing table)

(Changing table - short dresser - top folded down)

(short dresser view from the top)

(short dresser with changing table folded up)

These dressers are 29 years old and have been used pretty regularly. They are solid construction and in pretty good shape for being 29 years old. The taller dresser has 5 drawers. The shorter dresser has 4 drawers with a double shelf on top. The double shelf folds down and can be used as a changing table if you choose. I personally used these dressers from the time I was born up through the age of 25 and have taken good care of them. They have remained stored inside my home. Now that I am starting a family of my own, I don't have room to keep these things stored. The dressers have some normal wear and tear around the edges and small nail mark indentations near each of the handles. They can be kept this way to look more antique or they could be sanded down and either painted or re-stained. The drawers can be taken out for easier moving, but each dresser is not all that heavy. These would be great in a kid's room or spare bedroom. I am asking $25 for the set or $15 each. I also have a child craft canopy crib that matches the dressers, that I would be willing to give away for free. The crib does not come with directions, but I can explain how to assemble it. It would need some work to be sturdy enough for actual use but it does meet modern day safety standards. Please email Jules0203@yahoo.com with any questions.

Office Chair 1 - SOLD

This office chair has wheels and can easily slide around your office space. It is made of fake leather / pleather. It was purchased from Office Max for about $85.00. We are asking $15. The seat and each arms have adjustable height. One of the armrests is missing some foam on the underside, but it is still in very sturdy condition. The chair ended up being a bit too large for my office, which is why I am selling it. If you have any questions, please email Jules0203@yahoo.com

Entertainment Center / Media Counsel

This is a very nicely constructed, heavy and durable entertainment system. We bought it from Best Buy a couple of years ago. It was stored in our home until about a month ago and is now in the garage. The opening will fit up to a 4o inch television set. There are glass shelves on either side to store DVD's or other media. Below are shelving spaces for components. The middle section on the bottom is open air. The left and right have magnetic glass doors. This piece is in very good condition. It will not disassemble easily so you need to have a large van or pickup truck in order to pick it up. It does fit easily through doorways, etc. so you should be able to move it in to your place without any problem. We ourchased this unit for $200 and are asking for $50. email Jules0203@yahoo.com if you have any questions.

Gas Grill - SOLD

Gas grill for sale as pictured. This is a very used gas grill. We have purchased a new one and would like to get this one out of the garage. The automatic ignition does not work, but the grill will light easily with a match or lighter. The propane tank (not included) sits below the grill on the wire rack. There is a burner on the left side. The grill definitely needs to be cleaned up, but works great. If you are looking for a really cheap grill, this will work for you. We are asking $10.00. Email Jules0203@yahoo.com if you have questions.

Fish Tank - SOLD

Fish tank for sale - 20 gallon aquarium can be used for fish or small reptiles. Tank is all clear. There is an aquatic background taped to the back of it in this picture. Tank comes with overhead light and thick wire stand (as pictured). Total package retails for around $125.00. We are asking for $25 for everything. We are only selling it because we bought a bigger tank. Email Jules0203@yahoo.com if you are interested.

Toyota Scion XA - SOLD

I am selling a 2005 Scion XA made by Toyota. I personally ordered this car from Japan in late 2004 and have been the sole owner of this vehicle. I am a non-smoker and do not have any children. I used this car mainly to commute to work (a 55 mile trip each way) for 3 years and to drive from IL to GA several times. Most of the miles are highway miles. The car is in excellent condition with normal wear and tear. There have been NO major problems with this car. I have replaced the brakes, tires, battery and windshield wipers. Other than that, this car has been maintained with suggested manufacturers routine maintenance and regular oil changes. The only reason I am looking to replace this car is because we have a growing family and will be needing more room. While this is a 4-door vehicle, it is very compact and gets 35 miles per gallon around town and a little better on the highway. I will provide some information about the car below and list several pictures. If you have any questions, please email me at Jules0203@yahoo.com or call 708-946-1300 and ask for Julie.

This is the first Toyota vehicle I have ever owned and it has truly lived up to it's reputation. It has never let me down and I have never run into an unexpected problem. I have had all service performed at either ther Toyota dealer or at MasterTech in Lynwood, IL. Because most miles were highway miles I usually got the synthetic oil changes for highway miles. I have had the car detailed at Toyota and at Auto Butler in Highland, IN. I have a complete CarFax report on this car that I can email you if you request it from me.

I am looking for $6,500.00 or best offer.
Kelly Blue book indicates this car is worth $7,100.00 in a private party sale and would be expected to sell for $9,650.00 on a dealer's lot.
I will be accepting cash offers only.
This would be a great car for someone living in the city (easy to park and get in and out places), or for a college student or anyone else wanting to minimize their fuel expense. I would recommend this car for someone with young children who don't need a lot of legroom in back but I personally feel it would be difficult for someone with an infant that needs to carry around a stroller and other baby equipment. This is a very reliable car.
