If you're looking for cheap bedroom furniture and don't know where to shop when you need to read this article. We're going to look at three ways you can find good deals on bedroom furniture.
Wholesale or Liquidation Stores
There are stores that specialize in clearing out discontinued lines of bedroom furniture, or liquidating the stock from stores that are going out of business. Liquidation centers are often managed by auction companies who handle the stock for the stores going out of business.
In some cases, the companies will hold auctions as well, in others they just sell the furniture at fixed - but significantly discounted - prices. Not all cities have these stores, but most medium- to large-sized towns will.
eBay or Craigslist
eBay and Craiglist are two good sources of cheap bedroom furniture on the internet. While they both have pretty good selections, they work in slightly different ways.
eBay is typically an auction format, with the highest bidder winning the auction. They do have a "buy it now" option where an item can be sold for a fixed price, but typically items are sold by auction.
Craigslist, on the other hand, is more like the classified section in your local newspaper. People post an ad for what they're selling, with the price they want, and you can choose whether or not to pay that or make an offer for less.
Craigslist also targets particular cities or regions, by having separate sites for each one. This means that you will generally be able to pick up an item that's for sale because it's local, saving on shipping costs. With eBay, the seller could be anywhere in the country (or the world for that matter) so you might have to pay to ship the furniture to you. Shipping can be expensive for items as heavy as bedroom furniture, so make sure you factor this into the cost when bidding.
End-Of-Line Clearance Sales
Most furniture stores have clearance sales several times throughout the year, when they mark down discontinued stock to make room for the new stuff. If you're not in a big rush to buy new bedroom furniture and can afford to wait for these sales, you can save quite a bit of money.
