When is Used Furniture Wise?

My good friend Stewart Pedigo has a great new and used furniture store in Hammond LA. He says that when the economy is good his business is good and when the economy is bad his business is better. This shows the wisdom of the american people. When is it wise to buy over priced marked up furniture if you can find the same or similar piece of furniture at a Used Furniture Store or Consignment Furniture Shop that is in great shape for half the price or more? NEVER! Here is more information on his store in Hammond LA. If your in the area, check him out!

The Jones's Furniture

Yesterday I filled up my Explorer and it cost $70.00. SEVENTY DOLLARS! DID I MENTION IT COST $70.00? It made me think about buying used furniture. We at times as Americans try to keep up with the Jones. We buy the new car, the new house, and we buy new furniture. And you might ask yourself why? Who are the Jones anyway? If you think about it all furniture is used. When you buy new furniture, more than likely, people at the store sat on your new sofa and love seat. They probably opened and closed the drawers on your chest. So, doesn't that classified as used? OK I maybe stretching a bit on that point. But when you look at someone's furniture in their house and it looks new or at the least in good shape, do you ever think, "that must be used furniture!" You see paying new prices for furniture that is marked up 2, 3 and even 4 times is really not necessary. If you want to keep up with the Jones just buy their used furniture at a fraction of the price they paid for it. Because you will need all the extra money you can get your hands on to fill up your Explorer. Did I mention it cost SEVENTY BUCKS to fill up my Explorer yesterday?
