Economic down turn into gains with furniture liquidators selling quality stuff
The bad economy isn’t just a news story for any of us. One of my good friends just got laid off along with about three-quarters of the rest of his office. I won’t say what biz it was, but it’s a pretty major company down here in Florida. It was a few weeks ago now, so he’s had time to set his mind straight and get back into the groove of finding a new job. One thing he found out is that his office is having a liquidation sale of a bunch of their used furniture. He wanted to keep his work chair because he said it was super comfy, so I decided to head down there with him too to see what I could pick up. I got one of those chairs as well, it’s one of those black metal wire mesh chairs that are very aerating. Pretty good deal.
I kind of wanted to refurnish the rest of my place a bit too, with more than just office furniture, so I looked around for other liquidators. I found some used hotel furniture liquidators that seemed pretty good. They have both bedroom and living room furniture along with a lot of bathroom fixtures. Apparently the hotel business is being hit pretty hard by the economy as well. I hadn’t really thought of shopping for used hotel furniture before but some of these great deals are from pretty classy hotels, not just your roadside cheap motels. And I mean, if you’re not going to be working for a little while because of the economic slow down, you might as well pretend that you’re on a luxury vacation at home.
