<p>If I can offer a counter to Debruns daughter’ suite’s acquisition of a used “free” couch from other students – just be careful. New cover or not. Used campus couches, unless you know its provenance (like it was your older sisters who was very decent with it), have a definite ICK factor. The quantity and variety of fluids that got to it is better left unknown.</p>
<p>I’m embarrassed that at the beginning of our Senior year, we sold our couch (which we previously had gotten used from some upperclassmen) to some naive freshmen guys for about $20 or so. Actually, we had one of our female friends sell it – we knew a bunch of dudes selling it would decrease its perceived value. It should have been put into an incinerator. I wouldn’t be shocked if it’s still being traded downwards after 25 years… it was so embalmed…</p>
