I know you said you tried craigslist (there's also kijiji.com) but have you tried listing as free stuff instead of selling? People who say they will come get your free bed/table/whatever aren't always reliable, but many people WILL zip on over to your place to pick up something for free that they would normally have to pay for. My fiance just got rid of his old bed by making a free bed post on craigslist.
You guys should create a twitter or something, might be faster and it would alert you when someone had updated it (I think)(by that i mean that twitter would alert you when someone tweeted "THERE'S APPOINTMENTS", not csc would alert twitter lol)
