I went to a Used Furniture Auction in Oklahoma City about a Week ago and couldn't believe the deals I seen there. It had early American antique furniture from the middle 1800's, Some of the table and chairs looked almost new.
It was the first time I had been to a furniture auction since I was a kid and I couldn't believe how nice it was, I remember the furniture auction I went to as a kid and it had a lot to be desired to say the least. But this was really nice.
It gave Me an idea going to that furniture auction, And I did some research on it and seen some furniture prices on craigslist.org and looked at some pictures that users of craigslist.org had sent in with their ad's,
Anyway I thought about how easy it would be to design a website and take pictures of furniture like Sofa's, Loveseats, Coffee tables, End Tables, Recliners, Kitchen Tables and Chairs, Washers and Dryers, Refrigerators and the list goes on, And just lease a Small Building and start selling used furniture.
I have sold a few things in front of the house using Craigslist.org to advertise and every time I've listed anything on their website I got emails from shoppers in just a few hours so I know it works.
With the economy the way it is right now, More people are buying good second hand furniture at lower prices now because more people selling furniture are doing so because they need the extra money and are willing to take less for what they sell then they would otherwise.
If you think about it you can understand why more people are selling at lower prices and what I mean and you might decide to checkout starting a small furniture store or maybe a thrift store. Or just buy and sell furniture from your home or website.
