Facebook Magic?

So what I thought was going to be a quick, painless mattress-removal project has turned into a lengthy and annoying situation.  The mattress and box spring are still sitting in my foyer and it seems my Craigslist ad is not going to work.

Here are the details:
  1. I posted the Craigslist ad at 6:47pm on September 9th.
  2. I received the first response at 6:56pm on September 9th.
  3. In total, I have received 14 inquires via email, 5 of which I responded positively to ("I will leave the foyer door unlocked between certain hours, feel free to pick up").
  4. Unfortunately, no one followed through and actually picked up the mattress and box spring.
It is now September 12th and apparently what I thought would be Craiglist Magic might end up being Facebook Magic.  I'm not sure what my last resort will be.

As of 8:02pm, I posted a "free mattress" ad on Facebook.  I hope the magic happens!


NOTE 09.13.2011

Of course, at 8:30pm the night of the Facebook posting (and just 15 minutes after finishing the blog post) my roommate walks through the living room and says "the mattress is gone!".  So I guess Craigslist worked after all.
