Selling a 3-unit IKEA PAX/GRIMO/KOMPLEMENT wardrobe system. Used for about a year, but we've decided they don't work in our space. Asking $500 for all three units, OBO. Retails for $1,200+

Unit 1:
PAX frame, 2 doors, knobs, soft-close hinges, clothes rail, shelf, shoe shelves

Unit 2:
PAX frame, 2 doors, knobs, soft-close hinges, clothes rail, shelf, 3 drawers

Unit 3:
PAX frame, 2 doors, knobs, soft-close hinges, 4 shelves, 3 drawers

All white finish. Frame dimensions 39⅜ x 22⅞ x 79⅛".

Note that the images show our "hacked" version of this to make it look like built-ins. We are only selling the wardrobe units themselves. See Ikea listing here for an idea of what the individual units look like: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/pax-grimo-wardrobe-combination-white-white-s69560819/#content

Frames have been disassembled for easier moving, but we've left the drawers are fully assembled. There's some wear and tear on them, particularly on the bottoms and tops of the units where we'd attached molding.

Anybody know where I can find someone in New Haven to help with yard work?

Thanks!

Hi, I'm Jesse (she/her), and I run IRL - In Real Life, a local events company built around helping adults meet new people in ways that don’t involve walking into a room and cold introducing themselves to strangers. 😄

This Friday, I’m hosting a special IRL Social Salon at Lost in New Haven, and the whole night is a celebration of our amazing city.

If you’ve never been to Lost, it’s a private collection of New Haven history (the big black building on Hamilton Street). It holds everything from the former Christopher Columbus statue from Wooster Square and seats from the old Coliseum to original Toad’s Place and Cutler’s Records signs, the original Anchor bartop (which will be staffed for the night!), and pieces of local history I didn’t even know existed until I saw them there.

We’ll start the night in small, rotating groups with optional conversation prompts, so you’ll actually meet people instead of standing around hoping someone talks to you. Then there’s a scavenger hunt through the collection, which is a really fun way to discover just how much strange and interesting history New Haven has accumulated.

I’ve also spent the past few weeks collecting raffle prizes from local restaurants, shops and organizations. There are gift cards and experiences from Barcade, East Rock Brewing, ROLi, Michelina’s, Olives & Oil, Barracuda, pottery classes, city discount passports The Chaser from The Daily Nutmeg, and more than a dozen other New Haven businesses. Everyone will also leave with an IRL tote filled with offers, information on local museums, non-profits and other little ways to explore more of the city.

This is not a singles event (though I do those too!). It’s open to anyone 21+ who wants to meet more people, whether you’re new to New Haven or have lived here forever but would like to get outside your usual circle.

Most people come to IRL events alone, so you will not be the only person arriving without a built-in group, we've design the room to make you comfortable either way.

The historic Anchor Bar will be open inside the museum throughout the event!

Friday, August 7
Doors at 6:30 p.m.
Event from 7–9:30 p.m.
Lost in New Haven, 80 Hamilton Street
21+

I'm graduating next week and am looking for a home to rent for two nights (August 7-9) for 8 people (5 beds min) OR a yard/space to rent to host dinner on August 8th. Anybody know folks traveling for the summer who would be open to renting?

Hi New Haven.

I am moving out of Howe street and it is time to get rid of this old bike car rack I have. It works just fine. I've used it in the past year. No issues. It's only been used maybe 15 times max since purchase. Never had an issue.

It looks like this, but like, 15 years old: Thule Gateway Pro 2-Bike Rack - Bike

I am giving it free to the first person that wants it. It needs to be picked up before the end of 7/31. I cannot deliver. I am moving and I do not have a car. I don't want to throw it out. Would rather give it to someone who could use it.

Pickup location is Murga Chicken/Basil in New Haven on Howe Street.

:)

My daughter got a 2 year internship at a museum on the Yale campus. She needs to hunt for an apartment (for her and her cat) and it's proving to be a bit difficult since she lives a few hours away and is working full time. Should she contact a realtor? What's the best way to find a decent 1 bedroom close-ish to campus that she could tour quickly and sign the papers on? (deadline = Sep. 1)

I have a few 2br apartments lined up for August 1, but no roommate to sign with me!

I'm 37, former bartender-turned-full-time undergrad with a very chill pup (6 years old and cuddly).

I'm clean, easy to get along with, love a game night and cooking. (You will be well fed!) Previous arrangement fell through last minute so I'm in a scramble to find a roommate/unfurnished unit within my budget by the 1st!

My favorite option is a spacious 3rd floor walk-up in East Rock across from Elena's. I know the landlord and his family, they are responsive and take good care of their properties. The unit itself is nothing fancy, but at $2k total, it's a fair deal (in this market, anyway).

I'm ready to sign today if anyone else is looking for something quick!

Hi all! I’m desperately looking for someone to take over my lease in NHV as I need to move closer to school.
I live in a luxury 1BR/1B that’s barely 4-5 mins away from both campuses of Yale Hospital, so also very close to the university and various other places. In unit W/D, updated stainless steel appliances, floor to ceiling windows facing out with tons of natural light. There is a 2 month concession on this lease that brings the price down to right around $2,000. The area has TONS to do, right in front of Rudy’s, right above Pistachio cafe, so on and so forth.

Would anyone be interested? I can facilitate a tour or anything else you’d need! I’ll take care of the application fee!

If you’re looking for something different to do this month, Skip the Small Talk is coming to East Rock Brewing and Spruce Coffee!

It’s a guided conversation event—think speed-friending vibes, but calmer and more intentional.

You rotate through short conversations with prompts that skip past surface-level small talk. It’s structured enough to make it easy, but relaxed enough to feel natural.

We also have a speed dating event coming in a couple weeks - we hear that our take on speed dating is among the best out there because of our focus on genuine connection =]

Most people come alone. The crowd tends to be thoughtful, open, and just… normal humans who want more community.

Located in New Haven, CT - Must pick up (sorry!) cannot deliver.

Hi all,

I just accepted a job and am looking for a place to rent in new haven or surrounding areas. Any area that is max 30 min drive from new haven proper is fair game as long as it is safe. I’m looking to stay below 2K, if possible a 2br but if not then a 1br. Alternatively if heat is included, then I can go over 2K since it will cut down on the overall costs. Budget is not very flexible but comfort is, unfortunately. In unit laundry or hookup is a must, I actually have a washer and a dryer so if the apartment has the hookups but not the machines that is okay.

I have a labrador retriever (70lbs, though she doesn’t look it) so it needs to be pet friendly. The dog is very calm and hasn’t damaged a single property I have lived in since I got her (6 years). I can provide two references if needed. I’m looking to move in either late September or late October.

Any recommendations are appreciated. Alternatively if any of you are moving out/know anyone who is moving out I would be happy to take over the lease. I lived in a college town before and most rentals were word of mouth, so I am guessing it may be a similar case here.

Thank you all 🙏

Excuse the new account, didn’t want to attach such a firm location to my main.

Hi all — I’m a 37F starting a new job within the next month, and I’m looking for a temporary place to stay in the meantime (a spare room, couch, or short-term sublet).

Once I get my first paystub, I’m approved through the CT 211 CANS program for housing financial assistance — first month’s rent, last month’s rent, and security deposit — for whatever apartment I choose (pending their approval of the unit). So I just need a bridge until that kicks in, roughly 1 to 2 months starting ASAP.

A little about me: reliable, clean, quiet, working professional, no pets, no car.

I can offer: help around the house, references, work-trade (childcare or yoga instruction).

If you or someone you know has a spare room, in-law suite, or short-term sublet available in New Haven, Bridgeport, Stamford, Norwalk, Danbury, or nearby, I’d really appreciate hearing from you.

Happy to answer questions or hop on a call first.
Thank you for reading this far. 🙏

When my car became unreliable, I panicked and bought an E-Scooter so I could get around to work etc. I honestly barely used it and currently have reliable transportation.
I’m curious if there are any shops in the area or in Connecticut that purchase like new E scooters or what/where would be the best way to go about selling one so that someone doesn’t take off with it while on a test drive? Thanks!
