================== ARTICLE START ==================
Buying furniture second hand doesn't have to mean settling for
lower quality or overly used goods. Have you ever considered the
immense beauty and popularity of antiques? You can find great
deals and really save a lot of money by buying second hand
furniture, all without sacrificing your standards of quality.
Keep reading for 4 hot tips on exactly how you can find the best
second hand furniture deals that will save you big.
1. Hit the Classifieds.
Both online and offline, classifieds can be a gold mine for
furniture finds. Try sites like Craigslist or Kijiji or your
local newspaper to find sellers in your area.
When possible, ask the seller to send you a digital photo over
email. That way you can get a look at the piece without trekking
out to it. Of course, you should always examine a piece in
person before you commit to buying it, but digital photos can
save you time, allowing you to quickly do some initial screening
to determine whether you have any interest at all.
When dealing with any classified sales, both online and
offline, always play it safe. Don't go to a stranger's house
without first telling a friend or even bringing someone with
you. Also, never agree to meet someone with a large amount of
cash or drop off money without first obtaining the item. We all
hate the need to factor potential criminal activity into even
our simplest activities, but it's part of the reality we must
live with, so shop wisely.
2. Be a Thrift Store Hunter.
Charity stores and thrift shops are full of used furniture, but
it's not all good - in fact, it's often to the contrary. To spot
the great deals and the true beauties, ask at the store when it
is that they put out new furniture or what days they tend to get
the most donations. You'll discover most people donate old items
on the weekend when they have free time, meaning those products
will typically make it out to the floor by about Tuesday. Get
there early in the day to snag the best items.
3. Estate Sales and Auctions.
Estate sales and auctions are a great place to pick up high
quality furniture pieces for low prices. Typically done after an
owner moves or passes away, estate sales allow buyers to pick up
everything from full dining room sets to kitchen utensils.
When shopping an estate sale or auction, leave enough time
during the viewing period to get a good idea of each item and
how much you want to bid. Keep a list of the item numbers and
your budget limits to help constrain your impulses during the
actual bidding.
4. Be a Garage Sale Guru.
When it comes to used furniture, garage sales can be a real hit
or miss, but they also provide a fantastic opportunity to
negotiate directly with the seller. Look for "moving sales"
listings in your local garage sale classifieds as these are more
likely to have large furniture items for sale.
Regardless of the approach you take to purchasing second hand
furniture, come prepared to quickly haul the furniture home -
either with your own or a borrowed pickup truck, or via a rental
vehicle.
