where can i find prices on used bedroom furniture 11 pieces?

Q. I have a 61 yr old painted bedroom set antique white and gold includes a cedar chest , two lamps with bust one female one male; two end tables glass top covers with drawers ;a high boy dresser 6 drawers; a low boy dresser 12 drawers; a wall miiror framed; head board and footboard and rails al made from solid mahogony real wood perfect condition I need to know how much retailers sell for so i can get fair vaule for the set
i'm in philly Pa if that helps I just want ideas of what retailers are seeling similar bedroom sets for I know they are going for at least $2000 as i seen online this is solid wood mahagony with painted finish all brass fittings a real cedar chest that alone is worth at least $500 sure i can just take pictures of it and put it up on craigslist
or put an ad in my local paper but without knowing the retail value i will be cheating myself or price it too high
I really have to say for the 11 pieces at least $1000 total is fair this kind of wood furniture today would cost you $10,000 for a set like this I dont even know how the buyer is going to get it out of here each piece is large and heavy even without drawers in it the cedar chest weighs at least 100 lbs
IF i cannot get at laest $500 for this set then i will sell each piece seperately which is harder to do many people want a matched set
not sepearte pices O well hope for more answers

Answer
Look on the Craigslist or Kijiji listings in your area under "furniture for sale" and see what prices people are posting for old furnishings. Without seeing your set or knowing where you live, it would be hard to exactly assess the value. You could take photos of it to a used furniture or antique dealer in your area and ask what they would buy it from you for. Since they would offer you a wholesale price, you could probably double that to sell directly to an end buyer yourself.

Unfortunately, that age and style of furniture you describe is not very popular any more -- I doubt that you could get more than $400 for the entire set, and then only if it was in perfect condition.

what bedroom computer speakers £200-£300?

looked at bose companion 5s, but also audioengine 5s. any other recommendations? this is for quite a small room just for music (a bit of xbox). I dont play music massively loud, I want good sound at lower volumes. Is this kind of money worth it? advice please! thanks.

Answer
First off, Bose is a bit of a rip off. Second, AudioEngine is EXCELLENT for the money. I'm listening to a pair of AudioEngine A2s right now... and I previously owned a Bose Companion 5 system in their place. Needless to say, the Bose system hit the trash.

That said, I would highly highly highly recommend the AudioEngine, however I've heard that their A5s overheat sometimes. This does not cause damage because they automatically turn off, but that can be annoying. The A2s do not have this problem, and it has never happened to me.

What I would recommend instead of the A5s would be AudioEngine's P4s and one of their N22 amplifiers. This way, you get excellent sound, but you don't have to worry about overheating issues. If that is a little pricey, check out other desktop-sized amplifiers like ones from NuForce...

http://www.crutchfield.com/p_773ICOAMPB/Nuforce-Icon-Amp-Black.html?search=Nuforce+VENDORID773&searchdisplay=Nuforce

If you can find an affordable, quality amplifier to put along with AudioEngine's P4s, that would be the better way to go. I'm not saying their A5s are bad, they're excellent... I'm just saying that they tend to overheat sometimes when driven hard and that would annoy me personally. Because you say you don't play your music loud, that may not be an issue, so they might work out after all.


Either way, if you're getting your speakers from AudioEngine, you're getting a winning set of speakers there. My next favorite speaker under AudioEngine would be JBL's Control series of speakers, which are around the same price, and offer sound almost as good as AudioEngine.


Good luck

Also, I mentioned it before, and I'll say it one last time... avoid Bose. All of their stuff is terribly overpriced and underperforms for the price. Remember, I replaced a $400 set of Bose Companion 5 speakers for my $200 AudioEngine A2s... I have heard better sound in a $50 package than what Bose puts out in their "best" speakers.

My german shepherd is very stuborn and wont listen what should i do ?

How do you socialize a 5 month old German Shepherd ?. She acts afraid about everything.?

bedroom sets 400 under image

Crow

She is a white shepherd,not aggressive at all. Very mild nature and we love that about her,but she likes being alone. She doesn't like sitting with us or going in our bedroom. We have only had her 1 week and we see a little improvement. We try to praise her and love on her all the time,but it is not really reciprocated.

Answer
Basically, you are going to be able to make only tiny changes - dogs have important developmental stages, and she is well-past the "socialisation" age-stage. What she is is almost what she'll always be, so far as character goes.

The proper time to get a pup is at 7-to-9 weeks old, which gives you a week for the pup to learn to trust you and allows you time to then give it experience (from a distance the PUP considers safe) of every movement, reflection, scent, sight, sound & texture in your environment BEFORE Pup reaches 13 weeks old and ends its "confident & curious" stage. From 13-through-16 weeks pups are in a "need security" stage - well-bred well-reared pups don't show that they are in that stage but, sadly, far too many pups miss out on both categories.

So either return her promptly, or be very patient with her slow progress.

If you keep her:
It sounds as as though she is hard to catch. So the first advice is to "wear" her.
• Put a buckle-collar on her. Using a 2-3m/6-10' flat leash, either place the loop over your right shoulder & under your left armpit, or put your belt through it. Then clip the horse-clip to the collar, and get on with your normal activities, quietly talking to her from time to time, and giving her a rub or a pat or a tidbit every time she voluntarily comes close. The objects are to get her used to your proximity and to convince her that nice things happen when she gets close to you.
If she shows fear of vacuum cleaners or spin-driers, tether her to something on the far side of the room while working; shift her to the side you've vacuumed, before cleaning "her" side.
• If she shows fright (at home or while you are walking her off-property), just stop (let her hide behind you if that is what she wants) and silently wait until SHE decides to either ignore the scary thing or - better - to investigate it. You then INSTANTLY praise her (use a high-pitched "happy" voice) and - if she's close enough - reward her with a pat or a rub.

NEVER ATTEMPT TO COMFORT OR SOOTHE A FRIGHTENED POOCH. That is REWARDING an undesirable behaviour, which encourages the dog to CONTINUE that behaviour!
You MUST wait until she gathers enough courage to tolerate whatever the scary thing is, then INSTANTLY praise-&-reward her for being brave.

DON'T take her to places where dogs run loose - neither you nor she can control how fast & close they approach.
DO learn her "bubble" - which means the distance outside which things don't bother her but inside which they do. (Cheeky sparrows have a very small "bubble" - they often let you get as close as 4ft before flying away. Humans tend to have a "bubble" of between 3 & 6 ft for strangers, 2 ft for friends.) After which, until such time as she shows that she trusts you to protect her from bad things, you make sure that you lead her AWAY from those scary things before they reach her "bubble".

• Join some of the 400+ YahooGroups dedicated to various aspects of living with GSDs. Possibly join one of the groups for owners of timid pooches.
Each group's Home page tells you which aspects they like to discuss, and how active they are. Unlike YA, they are set up so that you can have an ongoing discussion with follow-up questions for clarification. Most allow you to include photos.

• Once she shows that she trusts you, join a training-club class so that an experienced instructor can improve your use of "the voices", balance, posture, timing, rewards vs reprimands; at the same time your pet learns to pay attention regardless of what other dogs & people are doing,

Best home workouts i can do to prepare for the military?

Johnny

i have about 40 day until i go to meps for my check up. i want to get in better shape before they look at me. im 6.0 ft tall, 150.00 pounds i wanna get to about 160.00. my metabolism is extremely high. im broke and cannot afford a gym membership. any ideas of what i can do in my bedroom for the next 40 day? i have two 25 pound dumbbells also but that all.

Answer
Running is probably going to be your most important workout. I recommend a long distance run once a week, a high intensity run once a week, an interval run once a week, a 1.5 mile run once a week and wind sprints once a week.

Your long distance runs should start at about 3.5 miles and increase by a quarter of a mile each week.

Your high intensity run should be the maximum effort you can produce for a period of 15-20 minutes.

There are different ways you can do your interval run but I like to walk a quarter mile and then run a quarter mile. During the interval run you should be running slightly faster than your one mile run pace. try to do between 6-10 intervals per run.

Your mile and a half run should be a sprint. complete that mile and a half as fast as you can.

When sprinting, start by walking 100 yards then sprinting 100 yards, then bump it up to a 200 yard walk with a 200 yard sprint, then 400, 800, 400, 200, 100. Unless you are already an extremely well conditioned runner, you will puke during this one. I do pretty much every time.

As for workouts to help with strength, push-ups are of course going to be #1 since you are preparing for boot camp. Pyramid sets work well but I prefer doing 5 sets with a rest period of 1:30-2:00 minutes between each set. Start by doing your max so you know where you are physically. For example, if your max is 50 push-ups, do 20 push-ups each set. Make sure you are going slow on each push-up and really emphasizing proper form on your push-ups. Each week you can try increasing the number of push-ups per set. Also, be sure to test your max push-ups once a week.

You can also try inverted push-ups to help strengthen different muscles. Rest your feet on an object that is off the ground a bit and do your push-ups that way.

Dips are another good workout you can do at home or while running at the park. Find a chair or coffee table or park bench and do some dips.

Sit-ups are good as well. I put my meet under the couch so I don't have to bug my dad or brother to hold my feet every time I want to do sit-ups. I like to do 5 sets of 35 with a 50 second rest in between. Crunches also work well but I think the sit-ups are better since you are training for basic.

Flutter kicks are great for your core and hip flexer muscles. Try doing 3 sets of flutter kicks and after the last set hold your feet 6' off the ground with your legs out straight for at least 30 seconds. You will really feel it in your core. I would start with sets of 20.

Lunges, squats and wall sits are great for your legs and you can incorporate your weights in with these workouts.

If you can swing the cash to get a pull-up bar for your bedroom door, I highly recommend it. Pull-ups are another great workout.

Hope this helps. Good luck with your training.

How much would it cost to live in Mexico city for a month?

bedroom sets 400 under image

iop

- I know theres a swine flu there. This question is in regard for about a year from now,

Answer
Mexico City is a great place to visit for a month!

It would be nice to have some more details about what you are looking to do in Mexico City.

Anyways, you can rent a decent (not a first rate hotel, but clean and safe) hotel room in downtown Mexico City for about $700 pesos per week, but that's with a shared bath. It also includes free internet in the lobby and a safe for your things. You can get a room w/bath for about $1,000 pesos per week. It really depends on what you want. There are many hotels in the Centro Historico (Downtown) which is close to many sights and things to see and do.

Yes, there's human flu in Mexico. It's also in the US and now it's in many other countries.

As for the cost of daily living: A ride on the Metro subway system costs $2.00 pesos (less than $0.20 US cents), a short taxi ride costs about $20 pesos, a bus costs about 3-4 pesos in the DF.

A tour of the city by Turibus costs about $150 pesos for all day.

Food: A tamale and a cup of atole (a steaming hot rice drink, often Chocolate or strawberry flavored) costs about 15 pesos. There's your breakfast. Lunch at a small-medium family run restaurant, the set menu comida corrida which usually includes soup, rice, beans, a main dish (enchiladas, beef or chicken steak, fish etc), a dessert, tortillas and a drink of agua fresca (flavored water, like juice) should cost between $40-50 pesos. Dinner: six tacos and a coke= $38 pesos (5 pesos per taco, 8 pesos for the coke. So your total for one day of food= $93 pesos mas o menos (more or less) and that's way under $10 USD at the current exchange rate of about $13.2 pesos to $1 USD.

Does anybody have any good ideas for decorating a teen room.?

Devin

im open for anything soo tell me your ideas thanks :)
im a 13 year old and im a girl so i dont want anything to girly... so if u have any ideas just let me know. Thanks :)
im a 13 year old girl and i like a lot of different things so if u have any ideas fell free to tell me what they are thanks :)

Answer
1: Don't paint the room too dark. Despite what television and movies may say, most of us have small bedrooms and painting it dark will make it seem even smaller.

2: Do, however, find a way to incorporate your favorite colours. Accent pillows, posters, bedding, lamps, etc. are all wonderful ways to bring some colour into your room.

3: Don't use your 14 favorite colours though. Pick no more than three. Try to pick ones you've liked for a while, and ones that look good together.

4: The bed is the focal point of the bedroom. Make sure the bedding goes with the rest of the room (As a tip: making the bed makes the rest of the room look neater too).

5: Make a list of your favorite things that you might like posters of. Bands, places, paintings, movie stars, whatever. Now slowly work the list down. You could cover every inch of space with posters, but that would cost a small fortune. Also think about what ones would go well with the rest of your room. If you were to paint your room pink (I know you siad nothing too girly, this is just an example) and then get posters of skeletons... it won't make any sense and will look bad. But don't leave your favorite things out either, try to plan the room to get everything you love in there, without making it a huge collection of mismatched items.

6: If you are planning on moving furniture get a big sheet of paper and a coule regular sheets of paper. Measure your room and make a scale drawing on the big sheet of paper (1 inch for every foot is fine). On the regular sheets make scale drawings of all your furniture and any new furniture you may get. Be sure to use the same scale. Cut the pieces out, and move them around on the room drawing until you find a set up you like. This prevents your having to move everything 400 times until you're happy.

7: If you need more storage and can't build out: Build up! And under, and around! There are all kinds of creative storage sulutions that people over look. Get a big plastic storage container that will fit under your bed and keep your off-season clothes in it. Put sheleves on the walls for those trinkets and books. Put hooks on the back of your door for belts/scarves/bags/hats. If you have a lot of stuff that needs storage and not much room it can seem like a daunting task. But if you just step back, relax, and think about it, you'll get all kinds of ideas!

8: Most of all, have fun.

Good luck! If you have any questions or need some more help, feel free to email me.

How much will I be able to afford after graduation?

Q. Hi, I will be graduating from pharmacy school in a couple of years and want to know what I can realistically afford. I will most likely be making at least 100k out of the gate and going up from there. If I wanted to buy a dodge charge, one of the cheaper 25-27k ish models, could I afford it? Or would it be cutting it close? What if I wanted a simple 2 or 3 bedroom house a few years after graduation? From some online calculations it will be 2,800ish for all expenses including the 5 year lease leaving about 40k in annual savings. Is that very much or will I be wasting money right away? I would plan on having the car until it no longer works really. And student loans won't be a large issue. It's a cheap though quality education at rutgers pharmacy school and my parents have taken most of the load off.

No disrespect to Canada, I was born there too, but I think things are little different here in US or your figures are a little low. Still mostly correct and insightful though, thank you

A. 100k out of the gate is NOT realistic. In my area (Canada), average pay is $40/hour, at a full-time job of 40 hours a week, that means you're making $1600 a week, or $6400 a month (equals 78k a year).

10% of your income goes to long-term (retirement) savings: $640 a month.

15% of your income goes to debt repayment/emergency fund: $960 a month that goes to credit/loan payments, but you really need to put this money towards a savings account that serves as your emergency fund; what if you lose your job? The goal is to put aside enough to get you through 6 months to give yourself time to find a new job. Put it aside until you have at least $38 400.
EDIT: Student loans are a big deal, they need to go away. Put more of your money here towards clearing the debt first, and once it's gone, go nuts on the savings.

35% of your income goes to housing (rent, mortgage, bills, utilities, car payments; fixed costs). You can afford UNDER $2240 a month. You need to have a size-able down payment though, and the less debt you have, the more of a mortgage the bank would grant you. It's going to take longer than you think, but nice try.

15% of your income goes to transportation (gas, insurance, repairs, bus). You have $960 a month to put towards this stuff. It doesn't sound like you have a car now, so if you set this aside to purely savings, in 2 years (24 months), you will have $23 040 saved up. You can definitely afford that car if you have that money saved up for a down-payment. Again, the more down-payment you have, the better interest rates you can get for your mortgage, and the less debt you have, the more of a loan they're willing to give you.

25% of your income goes to life (food, entertainment, clothing, gifts, travel, medical, wants, phone, internet, cable, other). You have $1600 a month, or $400 a week for all of this stuff, which is easy. It's all about putting a little money aside each week for everything, so that when the random/big expenses come up, you're not struggling to make ends meet.



I'm pretty sure that this is not your current income, but once it is, you can start putting things into action. Aim to have your dream items in 4 years (Couldn't possibly tell you if you can do it in 2, we have no idea how much money you make now).

Once you have your job, in two years you will have $23 040 saved up for a car, $23 040 put towards student loans/emergency fund, $53 760 towards a down-payment on a house, and $15 360 saved up towards retirement (although invested correctly, it will grow to be a lot more than that).
