i like me a good deal

i have been looking for a playhouse for the kids for a while, refusing to pay the $300 ++ that they cost new. i am telling you the truth when i say that they are one of THE hottest items on craigslist "baby + kids" category (at least on the central coast of CA). they sell for dirt cheap at times, but you have to be the first person to contact the seller or you miss out. i have tried several times to beat the rush but have never been successful...until today! i hadn't checked c-list all day, but when i clicked on the page, it was the first item listed, so i called (they had posted it less than 2 minutes before i called!), and went to pick up our new little "cottage" style house this afternoon for $40! It is severely FADED and the phone is missing from the dial pad, but the kids love it! They had a blast cleaning it up with dishsoap and the hose (many a mudpie had been made inside of it before it came home with us!) and filling it with playfood after it dried. what a deal! **i will post a pic of it assembled after i take one!
