Anyone need a couch?

As [livejournal.com profile] nellorat mentioned, some days you just can't get rid of a couch.

We have a nice, comfortable, pretty new (3-4 years) 7' sofabed in our living room. We wanted to move it into the basement, but it simply will not fit through the door to the basement stairs, so we need to find it a home. The Salivation Armee wouldn't take it because there is a coffee stain on one arm--the couch has been under a full cover the entire time, so the upholstery is generally in pristine shape, but one bad spill did get through. Goodwill of Westchester/NYC no longer takes furniture. Habitat for Humanity in New Rochelle might be interested under normal circumstances, but they've just had a flood in their warehouse and aren't accepting donations for a while.

Anyway, we're thinking about Freecycling it or some such, but if you or anyone you know (person or organization--we're open to other charity suggestions) would like a very comfortable, completely usable couch, please let me know. The only catch is that we have no way of transporting it; I'm happy to help get it out the door, but it's far too large for either of our cars.

FWIW, we got rid of a couch by putting it for $20 on Craigslist. The nominal fee gets rid of the "must look at free thing" people, but pretty much guarantees that any respondee will come pick it up.

It turns out lots of people have just broken up with their SO and need some furniture cheap and now.
