When purchasing used furniture you can buy painters plastic and make a huge plastic bag using tape and cover the sofa thoroughly. Throw in a few Nuvan Strips and let the sofa sit for a couple of days- this will kill any bugs. They say through inspection you can see bed bugs- use a magnifier and flashlight. Here in arizona we don't have quite the same problems as other areas- but it's always a good idea to be careful. <br /><br />Cheryl, <br />Thanks for the tip and nice job on the teacher books!Kelly Biggs at A Little Biggs Of Everythinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08475947407627268395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5343939021922948155.post-51097794796304788782011-07-01T13:41:55.833-07:002011-07-01T13:41:55.833-07:00I used to order priority shoe boxes from the post ...I used to order priority shoe boxes from the post office but I don't know if they offer them anymore. That would be a great option for you. I bought 22 BIG teacher books for .25 each and sold the lot for $178 minus the $10 in shipping since I offered Free Shipping media mail. That was my biggest seller this week :)Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06461990665818152522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5343939021922948155.post-46534357160468802172011-06-30T12:05:06.211-07:002011-06-30T12:05:06.211-07:00so- i have kind of a gross thing to ask about - be...so- i have kind of a gross thing to ask about - bed bugs. I am not at all squeamish and every bit of my furniture was bought used but. . . My sis in law (who goes new 100% and grosses out easily) is having a serious bed bug issue at her appt complex. (she works in the office so knows wayyy too much about the buggies).<br /><br />I know a couple of bloggers have had run ins with the bugs. <br /><br />Anyway we are coming into a bit of cash and i wanna buy a sofa from CL but i have to say I am a little wary all of a sudden.<br /><br />I guess at yardsales I feel more comfortable inspecting it more? I don't know. I was just interested in your thoughts on it. I am at this point leaning towards getting 2 old chairs recovered instead of buying a sofa.Deannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11280175094037573044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5343939021922948155.post-49120024542802857962011-06-29T21:14:46.798-07:002011-06-29T21:14:46.798-07:00Not sure if I can link since I haven't really ...Not sure if I can link since I haven't really done a post on what I've been up to. However, I just sold a skirt on ebay for $15.99 that I got for a dollar at a yard sale. I also sold some vintage pinking shears for $15 and a vintage pencil sharpener for $5.00 on Etsy and they all came out of a random box of sewing stuff that I got for a dollar. I picked up some great stuff this weekend as well but haven't sold anything yet. Just listed a few things on Etsy tonight so we'll see how it goes. I did do a post on my finds from the weekend but I don't know if you want those kinds of links since I haven't made any cash yet. Anyway, it's all fun! Congrats on your sales!Jane of All Tradeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13613720483468253642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5343939021922948155.post-6104905337445530392011-06-29T15:40:03.561-07:002011-06-29T15:40:03.561-07:00wow You did great.
