WOW    at those prices I need hard liquor not wine lol  wife loved it  I was a little traumatized  however. did I mention this was veneer over wood   Done with rant now taking meds       Happy Good Friday

Furniture prices are maybe more overinflated than clothes…by design.

Anyone ever wondered why furniture stores are perpetually having “ going out of business sales”?  They’re not losing money.  There is at a minimum 100% markup, probably more these days.

Gotta play hardball with those people.

My daughter says everyone knows mattress stores are fronts for the mob...

 

In seriousness, Look to see if the place has 5 years no interest or something. I always use that and pay it off in 58 months. Not a discount up front, but really is over the 5 years.

Yep.  We had to get a new couch about a year ago. Furniture stores seem to do most of their business with these high rent interior design groups who decorate the McMansions popping up everywhere. I'm sure those designers are getting a big price cut based on the volume they move.

Make ‘em an offer. They will wheel and deal….or at least they used to.

Last time I bought anything new was about 3 years ago I bought a new pillow top mattress and box spring and I was at someplace a buddy took me to.  Anyway when I settled on a set the guy gave me a price of $299.00 + Tax. I pull two 100.00 bills and a 50.00 dollar out of my pocket and said that was all I had to spend and he said I will be right back. When he got back he said if I would pay the tax we had a deal and I looked at my buddy and said lets go. Before I got to the front door I got them for $250.00 out the door. The name of the company is American Freight and they are in Goodlettsville.
