TU Tuesday- Classified

Made of solid fruitwood, perhaps pecan, this has not been refinished. Used as a china cabinet in a dining room for 25 years, this was originally purchased from an antique shop in Schoharie County. It has 1 drawer and a cabinet with 2 adjustable shelves. The china cabinet is approximately 42" wide x 62" high x 17" deep and is in very good condition. The china cabinet  has a matching side board which is available for $225. Buyer must provide transport. http://timesunion.kaango.com/ad-circa-1920-30s-china-cabinet-fruitwood/20550978 A Doorbell The moment I set my eyes on it, I knew my mom would love it. I did tell her I would bring her something back from China. I mean it is not my fault that I got a new job. Yes maybe when I first accepted it I didn't know that I was going to be stationed in China, but hey! That was three years ago and now i'm going back. The only problem is that there is no way to bring it back.  Sitting in bed at home I can imagine what my mo used to say. "Solid fruitwood, perhaps pecan..." It was what she always wanted a shelf made of wood. We could never afford it growing up. I knew I had to find a way to bring it back to her. On the way to work the next day I saw a passing boat. From that moment I knew how to get that shelf back home. I would have to use a boat. After work I went to the transportation office and set it up. The thing that really ticked me off though was that it cost me practically as much to send it back to America then how much I bough it for. Oh well mom will love it.  As I get on the plane I watch the boat leave from the port that is carrying the precious shelf. Sick to my stomach, I feel like something is going to go wrong. The flight attendant was talking "room for 25 years, this was originally..." but I couldn't focus because at that same moment, I watched the boat carrying its precious cargo sink into the water.  The end. AS I finish telling my story of how I went to China to my grandchildren I hear my doorbell go off. I get up off my butt as fast as I can, look out of the peep hole. And wouldn't you know, I see a box with Chinese written all over it. As me and my grandchildren rip it open, I see the unforgettable color of the pecan wood.  However my mother is long gone. So here I am now. It only brings back bad memories. That is why I am selling this piece of furniture for only the low amount of 225 dollars.  -Thanks Henry
