locals only

Is anyone in the south Puget Sound area in the market for a used treadmill?

I have one. It's about eight years old, but it's in excellent condition and hasn't been used nearly as much as it should have been. The buyer (I really do need to get a little money out of this -- I'm thinking at least $100 since I paid over $800 for it originally) would have to provide the strong backs to move it out of my house and the vehicle to haul it away. I don't have either one myself or access to either one myself.

I am not comfortable with listing it on Craigslist, because I'm a woman living alone and I'd feel very unsafe having strangers who saw the ad in Craigslist come to my house (I've seen too many news stories about people who did this who ended up dead or raped), and I really don't have anyone I can impose on to be here with me the multiple times it will probably take to get it sold.

The nearest Play It Again Sports is about thirty miles away, and they don't come pick stuff up, anyway, even though they do sell treadmills.

Anyone have any ideas on how I could sell this thing? It seems to me that this time of year would be the best time to sell something like this.

Goodreads vs. Library Thing, tickets five marks

Goodreads hates me. There is no question, given how it fights me tooth and nail every single step of the way when I try to update things (I'm beginning to feel like I'm Samwise vs. them as Gollum there). But I've done my best, given that I all but gave up on it a few months ago. It's as updated as it will let me make it be (which includes, coalboy, a listing for Cross-Country here [wry g]).

LibraryThing likes me much better, except that Goodreads balked again when I tried to import my library from them to LibraryThing. But I don't blame LibraryThing for that. I blame Goodreads because it refused to let me log in on the export screen. The upshot of that is I haven't gotten as many books listed on LibraryThing as I managed to do on Goodreads when I first opened that account before I all but abandoned it (as an author, I do maintain my author page there -- or do my best to do so given how ugly, in my mother's sense of the word ("don't be ugly!") Goodreads is).

So LibraryThing is going to be my main home for this sort of thing.

But I do have author pages in both places. Still, I hope anyone who reviews me there puts it on Amazon, too. For each book they review. I still don't have ten reviews for anything but Repeating History. Sigh. Maybe someday I will.

Getting there.
