I have a Queen size Somma waterbed for sale.  It includes the waterbed
mattress, box spring, frame, and adapters for adding a double size headboard
(instead of a queen).  It looks just like a normal bed, and even uses a 
standard frame.  My wife and I want to get a King size bed to replace it.

I'd like to get $400/BRO for it, and will deliver and set up within a 100 
mile radius from Nashua NH.

For those not familiar with the Somma beds they use several (7-8) individual
water filled pontoons, about 8-10 inches in diameter, ~6 feet long, instead
of a single bladder.  It uses no heater, and can be disassembled and moved
by one person, without emptying the water out of any pontoons.  The pontoons
weigh from 60 to 80 lbs, depending on how much you fill them.

The bed can be adjusted for firmness by adding/removing water from the
pontoons, and the pontoons on each side of the bed can be filled to provide
different firmness for two people.

The bed is comprised of several pieces, from the top down:

	bed covering (quilted, just like a normal bed)
	vinyl cover
	water filled pontoons
	vinyl cover
	foam base
	box spring
	frame
	
See diagram below (vinyl covers not shown):
