New Mattress - So Far So Good!

Well the new mattress arrived Thursday. The first night neither one of us slept very well but you know how it is when you get a new mattress it take a few days to get use to it. One good sign is I woke up the next day with no aches or pains! Les took the salesman's advise and listed the inteligel mattress on Craig's list Friday. Friday night when we got home from work a guy called asking if he could come see the bed Saturday. The man and his wife got to our house at 11:30 we took them down stairs and showed them the mattress, we had to put the box springs and mattress on top of our guest bed to show it. We were frank with them and told them why we didn't like the bed. They climbed up on it and tried it out and decided to buy it. Guess how much Les sold it for???? I know you are thinking the way Les wheels and deals we made a good price right? Wrong. He pretty much gave it away. He asked $250.00 dollars for it. AshLyn said we were crazy to let it go for that. She said we should have got rid of the bed we have in the computer room and put that bed there for the kids and guest to sleep on and maybe she is right. Les didn't have the heart to try for more on something we had been ripped off on. He was ready to pay someone to take it off our hands. So the inteligel mattress is gone and heres to more nights of restful sleep.

$250.00. WHAT??? You're crazy. I would have at least posted it for 3X's that. If no one bought then repost it for less and keep going till you sell it. Oh well, you guys got rid of a bed you didn't like and someone else is thinking that they got a screaming deal. You made someone's day.

OOOPS. You guys really didn't post a note to yourselves. I accidentally posted it when I was fixing your site.
