One recent score and one near (or maybe not so near) miss.
I did find a beater bike, billed as a 15 speed mountain bike but is actually a 21 speed, and snagged it. It needs some work: so far I have replaced the chain, one tire and tube (the tube blew up when I pumped up the tire and the tire itself was coming apart). The only other major deficiency is the saddle. The brakes work, now that I have fixed the front one. The shifters work, though they need adjusting. Not bad nothing, plus parts and labor.
But I missed one of these cool Ikea POÄNG chairs, with matching footstool.

The posting went up at 11:19 and my reply was at 11:35, but I was way too late. Stuff goes fast. This is a really comfortable chair: the bentwood frame has a little flex so it takes your weight as you settle and move around. A nice seating angle: I had some naps all planned out for it. Looks like I may have to <gasp> buy one . . .
I also tried for a sailing dinghy but I knew I was too slow to get it. Ah well, I did post a WANTED for a small sailboat earlier this week: looks like the messages just passed each other.
