And yet, if you go in weekly to see what they have, about 60%-70% of the inventory can be gone in a week, with other interesting buys in their place.

If people buy the stuff quickly, then the pricing is right.
We've had nothing but positive experiences with Bargains & Treasures! They only accept furniture in excellent condition. When we bought our first Villages home in 2007, we totally furnished it with consignment furniture from B & T (except for new mattresses). We were there every day and got great stuff the minute it was unloaded. We became best friends with the staff, the delivery guys even asked Fireboy to go fishing with them! We'd see identical furniture at Southern Lifestyles for twice the price.
