Hey, you've just hit the Ashvegas Jackpot: Hot picks in local classifieds

I'm kicking off a new feature here on the bloggie. It's called the Ashvegas Jackpot. With the help of loyal reader spade, we're sifting through local classifieds and highlighting what we think are good deals, interesting finds, etc.

Do you have time to read that giant Iwanna, or page after page of online listings? Didn't think so. It's like I always said with WLOS: we watch so you don't have to. 

Meantime, if you have a yard sale, or something unusual for sale, or an incredible deal, email me at sweetashvegas@hotmail.com and we'll include it in our blog round-up.

Here's spade, and the goods:

The Ashvegas blog keeps you updated on the best of the local scene. Now it's trying its hand at scouring the area's classifieds and helping you find stuff you need, want, or suddenly have a jonesing for. Some are deals and some are rare finds; they're all local.

As an added bonus, don't forget that these numbers ain't fixed. So take a chance and see if you can score some goods off someone unlucky enough to be leaving Ashvegas.

Check out the deep green leather and brass stud details on this couch. Serious Man-Cave potential:
Hunter Green leather sofa. A few fixable rips in the back of the sofa cushion. 97" L, 30"D, 24"H. $250. 828-216-7659.

For some reason, these chairs remind me of a cross between an ice cream parlor and a 1950s hair salon.
Retro chrome and pink spinning chairs. $50 each or 7 for...? (Elwood Ave)

A towering (94"H) solid wood Ralph Lauren canopy bed. Retailed for $3800, asking $450. I don't think that throw is included, but hey, you could ask.

Micro fiber on this striking sofa (from the famed Knoll studio, the seller says, but I can't find anything on it) could be your chance to finally own something light-colored (so there, Mom). $400 OBO. (Asheville)

Rare find: Matching Heywood Wakefield 9 drawer ($950) and ($450) Sculptura Dressers. They'll consider less if you buy both of these sleek mid-century modern beauties. (Arden)
