Mr. Modtomic has his own story of finding a Broyhill Sculptra desk on craigslist. Sounds like the desk found its final home in Chicago, that's one lucky Windy City citizen.
...and yesterday I passed on an entire Broyhill Sculptra dining suite at an estate sale! The asking was $900 for the Table w / leaves, 6 Chairs, Buffet, and China Cabinet. They really wanted it sold so I probably cold have hauled it out of there for $700 but...man, that's sooo much work. And it takes up sooo much space. I ended up buying a couple lamp tables, a cool swivel lounge chair, a danish swag light, a pretty metal and Lucite purse (For The Girlfriend!) and some other little smalls...so they got some of my dough.
Wow! Looks like there's a lot more Sculptra stuff up in your neck of the woods. But, yeah, all of that would be a lot to try and get in one haul. Hopefully the set found a good home. And it sounds like you still made some pretty spectacular buys.
$45 is a steal and a half on a desk like this. Even if it's pretty beat up. Very nice find. (How come I'm never in Goodwill/Salvation Army/etc when deals like this are to be found?)
