Where to buy used furniture in abundance

[boyblue]

I'm looking to furnish a few rental units with used furniture. These properties are on the low end of middle income so low price & durability are a must. I am also looking for used appliances.

I would like a renewable source, not a one-time auction, so that when I need more furniture I can get it.

With furniture shipping is a big deal so my preference would be the southeast but if the price is right I guess we can go anywhere.

Any ideas?

Any ideas?

The Chief Of Staff bought a nice sleep-sofa from a used furniture in Orlando FL that gets its inventory from timeshare resorts that sell off all their old furniture & appliances to offset part of their renovation costs.

Maybe some of the timeshare resort managers can put you in touch with the liquidators & salvage companies they deal with when it's time to clear the decks for unit renovation.

Full Disclosure: The former Orlando timeshare sleep-sofa now resides in our dinky non-traveling travel trailer that sits on a postage-stamp-size lot in a nice little recreational part near Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. We brought it up from Florida via Chrysler minivan. The old OEM trailer sleep-sofa was sold off via Craig's List. Is this a great country or what ?

Used Furniture in Phoenix, AZ

Last month I attended a HOA meeting at Sheraton Desert Oasis in Phoenix. The units are being refurbished and the used furniture is being sold to a place that will sell everything to the public. I suggest you contact your local timeshare property and ask where they sell their used furniture. Where are you located? Phoenix & Palm Springs have lots of places--oldsters go to assisted living or die and their furniture is sold. (Please don't think this is ageism; I'm 70 myself.)

goodwill, salvation army, volunteers of america, etc. usually a pretty good selection, and cheap.

Hotel Furniture Resellers, such as this one here in Los Angeles area (a bit far for you, but I am sure you can find one closer).

Cort Funiture Rental Center

There are CORT furniture retail stores that sell used rental furniture for good prices. I bought a nice bedroom set for $300. Also Big Lots has very good prices on new sofas, recliners and mattresses. Craigs List is excellent for oportunistic purchases at end of month when folks are moving. I have bought and sold many pieces on CL. The advantage you can shop on the Internet and negotiate at home. Everyone posts pics. I would only buy tables, bookshelves, wall units and dressers, headboards and nightstands used. With a little polish they look great. I would head over to Big Lots for new upholstered furniture. Also Sears outlets have appliances cheap, as does CL.

hotel furniture liquidators in Miami or Fort Lauderdale

I read somewhere there is this company in either Miami or Fort Lauderdale specializes in liquidating hotel furnitures. I guess there are plenty of hotels (and TS resorts) in Miami and Fort Lauderdale, there is a big outlet for them. should be quite easy to find on Google search.

Ikea is always an option.

For appliances, you can go to any appliance store and ask for dent and scratch aplpliances. Sometimes they are in a place that doesn't show but they can't sell them as perfect.

Hotel & Timeshare Furniture Liquidators, Craigslist, Cort, Goodwill, Which of all of the options would likely give the best prices?

I checked Cort and the prices are ok but not exceptional. Is it because it's better quality (can't see quality online)?
