Pick these guys up if you live in Ardmore! $10 for 2 Vintage folding trays, if you need them, these are a great deal!

[craigsquest]

Not sure if these are indeed mid-century, but they will definitely blend in with your other mid century items if you are looking for a cheap pair of chairs, $60 is a STEAL!

[craigsquest]

If I had a $1000, this would be a no brainer.

ORANGE STEELCASE NAUGHYDE with chrome... ::le sigh:: I wish I had a design firm to buy this for.

Anyway, if you are looking for something for your house/office or any place you want to look really cool, this is a really good deal Steelcase items last FOREVER. This is defintely not going to last long on CL though!

Danish style room divider for $165 in West Chester!

http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/fuo/2859466594.html

I say Danish style because this is clearly made of oak. For $165, I'd hit up Home Depo and restain this guy to a walnut or teak finish, it will look even more Danish then and it will be a fun and simple weekend project.

[craigsquest]

Pretty sure these aren't vintage, but for $50/pr in CC they could def stand as at least an upgrade from whatever you have now and will at least look danish!

um yeah, it says will deliver for serious buyers, cha ching!

Now where the heck is Springfield?

[craigsquest]

Northern Liberties cool table up for grabs for $30, glass and metal and very awesome!

http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/fuo/2861172790.html

Yeah, you should pick this up. Why? Say you already have a coffee table, a wooden one maybe. You complain that you can use more light in your living room. Ditch that wooden one and open up your space with this glass coffee table, you'd be AMAZED! and it's only $30. GET IT. doubles as a weapon.. look at those legs!

[craigsquest]

This is pretty modern, but I would LOVE to see this in a mod kitchen and for $125, you can even score the chairs for free! Ambler, whats up!?

http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/fuo/2861270744.html

If I wasn't slowly working on my labor of love ChromeCraft Set, I would totally pick this up, not only is it cool looking, but its cheap and it has alot of potential. Not your typical dining room table!

Hanksy Expands Beyond Tom Hanks With Bill Cosby & Ted Danson Street Art In New York City

[craigsquest]

FUCK YES, i love ted dancin

[craigsquest]

So I KNOW alot of you guys are off of work today because of the holiday, so why not take a drive to West Chester to pick up this stunning blonde wood credenza for FREE!

http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/zip/2860494897.html

Yeah I said the F word guys, FREEEEEE.

It says that the doors were once sliding but now are on hinges, which seems to be an improvement that if you aren't into, you can just go back to the orig.

If I had room and had no work, I'd be there.

[craigsquest]

TERRIBLE photo, but this bookcase is AMAZING, for $50 its worth the trip to tax-free Delaware!

http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/fuo/2849415007.html

This is truly a deal, and its beautiful. $50. Dover. Why am I not there, holy crap. Let me just say, it is a RARE day when I see an awesome mid century book case.

[craigsquest]

If I had an ounce of room left in my place, I wouldn't have posted this... because ITS MY DREAM to have one. ahh. AND THIS COLOR!? ahh

http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/fuo/2817189556.html

Well now that I just basically died because I'm jealous some one else is going to have my dream of a teal blue hair dryer chair in their home, really, all I have to say is that this is a tremendous deal in my opinion and if you want it, you better call. Test the dryer before you buy it.

[craigsquest]

Pretty great formica and metal shelf for $55!

http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/fuo/2849749629.html

This is one of those items you need to see past to find the potential. Obviously the junk all over it isn't helping, neither is the photo. Take advantage of these people's laziness, and go up there and buy this. Use it in your den, your living room, your office, anywhere. Give it the home it always wanted, please!

[craigsquest]

Whoa, cheap alert! $40 for a 1964 double tiered end table!

http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/fuo/2846288237.html

ONLY thing that worries me about this that they say "the top has been sanded and is ready for restore" then it says "these sell for $300 when restored". No they don't, $150-$175 MAYBE at the most. Still, if you have some old English or some stain, might as well for $40 its a LANE!

[craigsquest]

This is actually quite beautiful for a vintage sewing machine, and $150, I can work with that.

http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/clt/2846730462.html

Its available for pick up in the North East, but I would do some research on this guy before going out there.. it also say OBO, it also says specific things that work on this machine but not that the machine works... Idk, it was too beautiful NOT to post.

[craigsquest]

I am quite a fan of well taken photos, so thank you to whoever is selling this for delighting me with not only a GREAT deal on a beautiful formica top end table, but also for making the photos so nice and clean, yum!

http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/fuo/2847876283.html

This is also in the city, the Italian Market, which is an awesome place to cruise through anyway. Pick up some fresh tomatoes and seafood while you are picking up this awesome end table. Oh whats that, you can't pick up the end table bc you can't drive? Looks like they will deliver it to you for a "few extra bucks" hmm, I like that, name your price! I also like that this table was made in Philadelphia so it says. Keep it local!

[craigsquest]

$15? or $30? Not sure, but still a pretty good deal for a long, low, mid century dresser!

http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/fuo/2847951071.html

I'm assuming Spring Garden means Spring Garden St., which, if so, is good, in the city, easy to get to, usually no problem double parking. Do it.

My only peeve with this is that its a little... ugly. It could just be the photo. Just promise me you'll polish those drawer pulls, PLEASE
