should I buy the table?

I'll be taking over Kat's lease at the start of next month. The kitchen is smallish and I've found a table I like. It's $130 from IKEA with an extra $35 to ship it. I really like the table because with the two drop leaves I can generally keep it small but make it larger when I have company.

I've found it nearby on Craig's list for $50. My money's tight though so I'm not sure if I should go for it or not. It'd be the perfect table for this apartment and it being IKEA means I can pick it up in my car. Anything t that doesn't come apart I'd have to get creative with to get it to my place. Plus there'd be the wait while something less expensive became available.

If it's in decent condition and not too far a drive, I'd say go for it. But be sure to check the condition before agreeing to buy off Craigslist, 'cause photos can be deceiving. I've gotten some really nice stuff off Craigslist, but other stuff has been... not so nice. :P

Thanks. I'd been thinking of that. I'd bought a table, new, from IKEA, that squeaked pretty awfully after I think about seven years.
