Our boy grew out of his toddler bed. Sure, he still fit in it, but as he doesn't really stay in his bed all night (read: He gets in bed w/ us), it goes unused quite a bit. This wouldn't be too bad, as he's a great snuggler, but he's getting quite big, and our bed isn't enormous. My little wife and I had a solution.

My good 'ol full-size bed frame and mattress were shrink-wrapped out in the garage. We got it out, unwrapped and cleaned it up, and put it in his room. I took his little toddler bed apart and shoved it under his new bed, in case big bed didn't work out. It did.

So after the probationary period, I was green-lit to get rid of the toddler bed and mattress. Craigslist, here I come!

I posted this: Toddler bed frame and mattress for sale. $200.
I received this reply: I don't want the mattress. Can I buy the bed frame only?
I replied: Yes. It's $200.

SOLD

So I had a mattress. Salv Army didn't want it. Goodwill couldn't take it. Sister Mary Elephant's Orphanage For The Hideously Afflicted By The Loving Touch Of The Heavenly Father said that used mattresses were too skeezy for her charges.

Whatever. I get that used children's mattresses can be skeezy. They get pissed on, for crying out loud. But this one is a Sealy® Baby Posturpedic™. It's RUBBERIZED, moisture-proof and can be cleaned with sanitizing cleansers! Blasted with the garden hose! Bleached! Craigslist, here I come again.

As I'd already technically sold the thing (in the bed frame sale), I wasn't interested in double-dipping. I just wanted to get this to someone who needed it.

I posted this: Sealy® Baby Posturpedic™ For sale. $6.50
I received this reply: I want to buy the mattress for my son. Is it $6.50?
I replied: Yes. It's $6.50.

The gal came over to pick it up. I figured she was going to say, "what's with the odd price, bub?" But she didn't. She gave me six ones, two quarters and said, "I'm buying this for my boy. He sleeps on a mat now."

My novelty price got the mattress to the right person. I gave the $6.50 to Ez. He spent it on booze and smokes and donated them to the Homeless Shelter.
