Thanks to Marktplaats we now have a lovely dark brown bookcase and about 1,5 meter of Feist books for only 400 EUR. The bookcase was 300, my offer, and the books were 100 (22 hardcover books, mind you).

I snatched it from under someone else's nose. There was an offer on Marktplaats for 200 but as soon as I found the advertisement I made an appointment to come see the bookcase and added 100 EUR to the current offer. After deciding we wanted it we immediately got the money and a trailer and went back to pick it up. It's now standing in our living room. It needs a bit of tinkering to close up a recess on the bottom (it was a kitty tunnel) and then bolt it all together again. The cats have already been all over it.

We're left with one spare part of the bookcase. It was a custom made work with two corners in it. We only have use for one corner so we've got one segment left that we can use elsewhere in the house as a bookcase. Perhaps in the attic for the hobby books.

So yay, another thing to cross off the list!
