I'm a little jealous. I bet your arm muscles will look killer. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-craziest-thing-youve-done-for-a-deal#post-458108 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 10:24:10 +0000 mrsjazz 458108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: Did you still take the cat? That's messed up that they were advertising the kitty as a Maine Coon--aren't those cats huge?</p> <p>@prettylizy: Thanks. I didn't love it lugging it on the train, but it does ride pretty smooth.</p> <p>@erwoo: My arms are sore and my back hurts! But so worth it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-craziest-thing-youve-done-for-a-deal#post-457681 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 00:35:22 +0000 erwoo 457681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>WOW! What a great work out! That is a good deal and worth it now that you're home! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-craziest-thing-youve-done-for-a-deal#post-457664 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 00:10:45 +0000 prettylizy 457664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: I can't think of anything crazy I've done for a deal right now, but that is one awesome score!!! You're going to love this stroller! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-craziest-thing-youve-done-for-a-deal#post-457609 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 23:33:03 +0000 HLK208 457609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha! Wow! I'm impressed. </p> <p>Someone was selling a Maine Coon kitten an hour away for $60 and usually they are more expensive than that, but I grew up with a Maine Coon and REALLY wanted one so I drove there and went to a three story target to buy everything that kitten needed. I was parked almost a half mile away so I had to hold my son in one arm and all the kitten gear (little box, cat litter, bed, dishes, food) in another and walk back to my car (I couldn't take the cart that far). It was so hard! The cat turned out not to even be a Maine Coon. It would have been a deal if he was! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-craziest-thing-youve-done-for-a-deal#post-457599 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 23:28:59 +0000 mrsjazz 457599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: I normally only look for Craigslist deals in Tribeca or nearby neighborhoods in Brooklyn, but the price was too good to pass up. I'm going to be sore tomorrow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-craziest-thing-youve-done-for-a-deal#post-457576 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 23:15:32 +0000 Mrs. Bee 457576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>that is a score! i understand not wanting to take a cab after getting a deal like that! </p> <p>everything i buy is within a 15 min walk, so i've never done anything too extreme. the perks of living in park slope! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-craziest-thing-youve-done-for-a-deal#post-457534 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 22:53:16 +0000 mrsjazz 457534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got home late tonight because I was picking up a double stroller I found on Craigslist, a Britax B-Ready that was bought last year, in great condition, and was $150. The family we bought it from is moving to the suburbs on Friday and needed to unload quickly.</p> <p>I refused to take a cab from the Upper East Side of Manhattan to Brooklyn during rush hour because that would defeat the purpose of said deal. So I lugged this double stroller on the train. I didn't know how to fold it with both seats installed so I had to lug the stroller in one hand and the 2nd seat in the other. DURING RUSH HOUR!!! Two trains! So many stairs. I was so weak when I got home.</p> <p>But it was worth it! Great stroller!</p> <p>Have you done anything crazy to get a good deal? </p>
