Is there any greater rush than finding a great piece of furniture on Kijiji? Only finding that it’s free, perhaps! Of course, you’ll have to be logged on to the Kijiji site at the precise moment that freebie is listed, because I tell you, those items disappear fast!
The sofa above (and its matching chair) was a free item found on Kijiji. It is not mine, very unfortunately. But the client who brought it to me is so incredibly sweet, I was happy to deliver the newly updated sofa to her last night. Call it Kijiji Karma, if you will.
Remember this sofa? It was free, found on Kijiji. Of course, this one required a bit more “vision” to realize the potential it possessed. It looked like this when my client discovered it:

Don’t forget to look curb side on garbage day, either!
My neighbour was throwing this out, but it still has plenty of life left.
This sofa was free as well!
This little settee was rescued from the landfill.
As was this gem! Look how great it became:
Don’t forget the #1 Rule of Kijiji Karma: Post those freebies! Your undesirables could be my treasure! And vice-versa, of course.
