WWYD
My friend is moving out of state and asked me if I would have any use for her extra twin bed which she might not have room for in her new apartment. I said possibly, since we have some empty bedrooms, but that it is not a big need, and to keep me posted. Well she found a new apartment and will not have room for the bed so she said it is mine if I want it. BUT - it is in good condition and she would prefer to sell it to me rather than just give it to me. She didn't give a number and I am not sure what a very rarely used by a friend bed is worth? It is a mattress, box spring, and headboard. If I don't take it she will just store it at her mom's house.
Would you buy the bed? How much would you pay? I am not sure how much it is worth to me (which is going to include the effort of getting it from her place to mine).
Re: WWYD
Depends.
1. Do you want a twin bed in the room as opposed to a full or larger?
2. Do you want to save money and get used rather than new? If so, then I'd much rather get a used bed from a friend than a stranger.
As for price, I'd see what they're going for on Craig's List and pay something fair along those lines.
1. Do you want a twin bed in the room as opposed to a full or larger? This would be for our smaller bedroom which can't really fit a full and definitely not a queen. If we were to put something in there instead of this bed, it would be a futon or sleeper sofa. We plan to buy a queen set for our other spare bedroom at some point in the next year I think.
2. Do you want to save money and get used rather than new? If so, then I'd much rather get a used bed from a friend than a stranger. We wouldn't buy a used mattress from a stranger. So it is either buy this or nothing.
As for price, I'd see what they're going for on Craig's List and pay something fair along those lines. Craig's list looks like maybe $100ish?
I guess I'm just not really sure if I want it or not. We weren't planning on purchasing a twin bed. It would be nice to have a real bed for guests to sleep in, but hopefully that need will be met soon with a bed that can sleep more than one guest at a time. If she was just like "oh hey I don't need this any more, do you want it?" I would probably say sure, but turning it in to a purchase I am making gives me a different perspective, especially since this purchase does not come with delivery and setup.
