Used furniture may sound like a great way to save money, and it is. Used furniture may also seem like a way to find unique pieces for your home's decor, and it is. The problem, though, for many used furniture shoppers, is finding the right resources to start the search.
The greatest weapon that disposal of the furniture shopper, and espeially the used furniture shopper, is knowledge. Before you make any purchase on any site, I suggest that you do your research. Know what new furniture is like before you buy used, find reliable resources for used furniture information and the used furniture market. Some of these things are on the side of the blog here for your convenience, but I will also occasionally share what I find out on the vast world wide web that can help the used furniture shopper.
I noticed in my online adventures the other day, that eHow offers a great little place to begin: an article on How to Buy Used Furniture. Might as well check it out!
As for your markets, if you have done a little reading and checked out several resources, you can always start with the reliable places:
Almost Free Furniture offers a market for the buying and selling of used furniture around the country.
Ebay is always a good resource for pretty much anything in the world you would want ot buy...new OR used.
Craigslist can be a good one, but as always with Craigslist, beware of what you are looking at.
These are some good starting points for the used furniture shopper. Used furniture can be a great adventure or a nightmare. With a little knowledge and a solid starting point, though, you can have a wonderful time finding and buying just the right piece of used furniture
