• We have one of these! Once collected, the lady contacted us back and said since we collected it in a van could we please do her a favor.

She paid us $500 to move maybe 20 boxes 15 min away and even gave us an extra $20 for gas. Every time I sit on our chair I think about how much money it made us! © aleasincognito / Reddit
