Local Pittburgh board for brides selling items?

Does anyone know of any local boards for Pittsburgh brides who are selling their wedding items?  The only one I found on the Nest is for all locations, not just local.  I've had some luck with craigslist for table linens, but I need to buy a ton of dishes, glasses, and silverware for my reception and haven't been able to find big lots of those items on craigslist.  I figure the only way to buy those items used is to get them from another bride, but it would need to be local because the shipping would be ridiculously expensive.  Any suggestions??  Thanks!

    Posts like that typically come around during the summer, after a lot of girls have their weddings. The other place you could try is the Wedding Classifieds board here on TK, but that is also an international board.

    Can you maybe rent the dishes and silverware? Not sure how much it would cost, but might end up being cheaper if you can't find any local ones to buy.

    Thanks Nic!  I think I'm going to rent the silverware because that seems a lot cheaper than buying, but for the plates it is about $.50-.75 per plate to rent and about $1 per plate to buy.  I figured if I was able to buy the plates used from someone, it would end up being less expensive than renting.  At least I still have a lot of time to figure it out though :-)

    My problem with buying stuff though is - then, unless you can sell it, you're stuck with 25 tablecloths and 100 place settings. Plus, you have to transport all of that stuff to the site somehow....
