Answer
Why did you marry him, if you're not going to listen to him?
We were doing fine this month, too. And then our car died away from home. $600 later, we're not so fine. $700 is all you have saved up? I suggest a lot more than that in your savings account, before you start thinking big ticket items, before you need them. No one plans emergencies in their budgets. That's why they're called emergencies - we never know when they'll hit. That's also what savings accounts are for - that and planning for good stuff when you can afford it.
Other suggestion - don't ask strangers after you and spouse already talked it over. Spouse trumps strangers advice any day of the week. That's why they become "spouse."

How much should I sell my bedroom furniture for?
Tamee
I have a black 7 piece queen size bedroom set with two night stands, a dresser and a mirror that I purchased for $1600 about 16 months ago. I also paid $600.00 for some pillow top mattresses. Everything looks brand new. Someone offered $700. How much should I sell it for? Mattresses included.
Answer
The best answer is whatever you can get for it, I think $700 isn't a good price for it, but it's most probably close to what it's worth at most.
When you buy new, you're paying for the over heads as well. If you place an add in a free online site saying what you have is new or bought 2 weeks ago, you'd be very lucky to get 70% of that $2200 you paid for it. Reason being that buying from a store you have in general an amount of consumer protection for the most part.
What most people don't understand, is that the store bought that product or those goods for a fraction of what they sold it for, to cover their over heads. My Ex used to work for a big department store, I was surprised to find out that some items have a 500% mark up, I'm not saying there was a 500% mark up on your goods, but I'm guessing at least 100% if not more.
