I have been wanting to get a curio Cabinet for a very long time. But just did not want to spend $500 and up! I checked every year when I got my tax return and nothing ever showed up in the price that I wanted.
The other day I was on facebook looking on one of the local rummage sale site. I was not really paying attention to what I was doing. I just happen to look down and see a curio Cabinet that someone had just listed. I saw the price and was not sure. She was asking $125.00 for it. I turned to a different page and went right back to the listing. I sent her a message to see if there was anything wrong with it and was she set on the price. She got back to me and said it was in mint condition and there was nothing wrong with it at all. And that she was not going to go any lower on the price.
I thought about it for a few minutes and sent her a message back. I wanted to know when I could see it. She said I could come over right now if I wanted. I showed my hunny it and he said get it! So I got her information and we headed into town to check it out. When we got there I could not believe how nice it was! I found out that it was her grandma's at one time and was handed down to her. I guess its pretty old. I checked out the place the made it on line. Nothing on there site was under $800.00! That is just crazy!!!!!!! So I jumped on it! I ran to the bank and took the money out and paid her. We could not bring it home that night, I had my car. My hunny the next day went and got it for me after work. We got it downstairs when I got home from class. I cleaned it up and he helped me move things around. So now I have a nice cabinet to put my ponies were they will not get all dusty!
So here is the pictures of it and with the ponies all set up! I have so much more room now. My hunny said that I need to get more ponies to fill it up! :) LOL
What do you think, I think I spent a good $125.00. I did not want to spend that kind of money but did not want to let it go.

Oh ya and it has two lights in the top of it. Looks so good when the lights are off in the room.

That Curio Cabinet is AWESOME!!! I can't wait to have my own place so I can get one of my very own! Congrats! $125 WELL spent!

WOW that looks AMAZING its beautiful and now a one day must have for my collection
-
Thank you everyone. When I got it home and cleaned it up I could not get over it!
-
It looks like a lovely piece of furniture- I think you did really well :)
-
Nice find. I think you did great. I want a nice tall cabinet (at least one I can reach the top of) to put ponies in. I still live at home at 29 and my room has slanted ceilings like most attics so there's not much room for tall shelves or anything past 3 ft. tall. Luckily I don't have many ponies but I would like to some day be able to get a cabinet like that.
-
that is beautiful! great find
-
I really like it! Great find!
-
Thank you everyone :) I hope to maybe find another one like it someday :)

-
Wow... *drools* that is beautiful! ^.^
-
That is a great find!!! Your ponies look like they are very happy! :biggrin:
-
I think you did great!
I once tried to order a cabinet like that online...it would have cost $125 just for shipping alone!
-
Awesome find, and it looks pretty good-sized!
-
That's a fantastic deal on what looks like a beautiful piece of furniture! It's worth well more than some pasted together bit of Ikea junk--and cost about a fourth as much. Super big brag! :) Congratulations!
-
Oh thank you everyone for the kind words about it. I was very happy when I got it all cleaned up and ponies put inside. It was not light I will tell you that much. You can take all of the glass out of it to. There are these clear things that you turn and the glass will come out. I am thinking this is pretty old. Its solid wood. My arms are still hurting from having to move it downstairs. And that is were its going to stay! :)

Not only did you find that cabinet for a steal, but that has got to be one of the prettiest and most tasteful pony displays I've ever seen. Well done! ^.^

Thank you everyone, I am starting to think that same thing about the price on it. I was the first to message about it and happy that I did. Cause others were sending messages to.
