Garage sales are a great place to find things but it takes a long time to go from one to the other to find quality stuff for sale.Another way is look in the classifieds for business that are going out of business. Go offer them some decent but fair price for their used furniture and office equipment and you can usually get some great deals. A lady who had an office in our apartment building was retiring and she was selling great office chairs for like $50 each. The kind that move up/down, tilt, arm rest tilt, etc. I bought a few for friends of mine. She also had desks and computer and filing cabinets and they went for next to nothing. In fact at the end when the lease on the office was up she was giving a lot of it away. So look for things like that and they can be a gold mine. |
