Various household items; I found a nice coffee table, real cheap loveseat for the dog.
More cats.
I actually found the 20-acre house & shop place in the stix that we bought & moved from about three years ago in a want ad....said, "Hey! look at this."

Ah, I suppose FaceBook marketplace is the new version of that. Don't think you can buy a house through them though.
This was a bit of an unusual deal: for sale by owner..a retired firefighter from Seattle who wanted to escape all of the civilized noise, chaos, traffic & stress of the city bought the 20, built a small, simple but sturdy house, garage & really big shop; got power hooked up to the place & put in a private well. But after about two years of living there discovered that he just couldn't take the solitude & seclusion & hermitish style of life.Ah, I suppose FaceBook marketplace is the new version of that.

We put a "for sale by owner" sign in our front yard in town & had a list of about 30 prospective buyers within a couple of days. Everything was dealt with on a "handshake deal" and the help of a real estate attorney.
This was about 20 years ago. Real estate things have gotten so much more complicated now, I think it would be pretty risky to proceed without a proper real estate agent, but their fees are SO outa sight!
I bought a house a couple years ago and the agents sure did get a big chunk of cash!
With all piled-on laws & math & bookwork they need to know, I have to grudgingly say I guess they're worth it....maybe... With the price of real estate these days their fee sure turns out to be a handsome hunk.
Well my realtor had an expensive car, clothes and was in the middle of building herself a 7 bedroom house. Lol
And new patent-leather shoes with matching Gucci handbag no doubt.
Did it cross your mind that we're in the wrong business?
