Don’t Let Strangers into Your Home – Sell Your Furniture the Consignment WayDecember 22nd, 2008
Classified ads can be a great way to get rid of unwanted items, but this method of selling can have its drawbacks as well. Whether you post your items for sale on the bulletin board at the local supermarket, in the local newspaper or on the Internet, selling used furniture and other items in this manner requires that you let strangers into your home. While most people are simply looking for a great deal, others may have darker purposes in mind. We may not like to think about it, there are criminals in the world, and some of the people who reply to classified ads are in fact looking for a way to steal the things they want. For this reason and many others, some people have grown reluctant to allow strangers into their homes.
Of course this reluctance can make it difficult to sell used furniture and other unwanted items. While smaller items can easily be sold online and shipped to buyers around the country or even around the world, large items like furniture cannot be so easily disposed of. Large and bulky items cannot easily be shipped, so homeowners will need to find another way to get the greatest value from them.
One of the best ways to get the best value from used furniture is to place it at a local consignment store that specializes in this type of merchandise. There are many fine consignment stores that cater to homeowners who are searching for fine home furnishings at a great price, and these stores are the perfect place to sell unwanted furniture.
So if you are looking for a way to get value out of your old furniture you may want to give your local fine furniture consignment store a call. Consigning furniture at such a venue is generally quite easy and straightforward. You simply place your furniture at the store, set a price with the store owner and wait. When the furniture sells you get a check and the buyer gets a great piece of furniture for a fraction of the cost of buying new. And best of all you never have to let a stranger into your home.
| Ten Great Reasons for Selling Your Used Furniture at Roost Consignment GalleryDecember 22nd, 2008
Are you thinking about giving your home a new look, but wonder what you should do
with your old furniture? Do you plan to furnish your home with a limited budget?
Whether you are in a position to sell or buy furniture, a good place to start would be the
consignment stores. Please consider the following ten reasons for your trading needs:
1. Consignment stores offer a fair market place for used furniture exchange between
the individual sellers and individual buyers.
2. The storefronts attract purpose-driven foot traffic in convenient locations and give
the sellers’ goods wide exposure through their advertisement.
3. Your item for sale can look more attractive in a staged setting such as a lamp
placed on top of an antique table. The consignment store may also carry its own
insurance against damage or theft.
4. When you choose a good consignment arrangement with a reputable store, it is a
quick and worry-free way to turn your unneeded furniture into cash.
5. If your furniture does not sell after 90 days even at reduced prices, you can pick it
up or choose to give it to charity through the store. The consignment store owners
will be happy to give you a receipt for your donations.
6. Some of the consignment stores are operated by charity organizations. The profits
made from such sales will benefit the hurting children, the poor, the sick, or the
elderly. When you sell your furniture through these stores, usually you will not
only receive half of the sales price, but also get tax credit for the other half of the
value which is considered a donation.
7. As a natural resource, millions of trees are being chopped down in the US and in
forests around the world every year just to make wood furniture. By recycling
gently used furniture through consignment stores, these precious forests will be
saved.
8. Gently used furniture needs zero to minimum processing in order to be used again.
It conserves material and energy while contributing to a greener and healthier
environment.
9. By actively acquiring and displaying finer pieces of artwork and well-made
furniture from old estates and selling these furnishings to customers who
appreciate them, the consignment store owners serve to preserve an important
aspect of the culture and provide a sense of continuity in the life of the society.
10. Rich or poor, people are always looking for valuable goods at a bargain price!
Through consignment stores sellers can turn their gently used furniture into cash; buyers
can find what they need for their homes. From plain to palatial, useful furnishings in
affordable luxury flow through these stores with style and speed without making a dent
on the health of our global environment.
