Where to Sell??

[hulahips]

Ladies. Do you know any Fine consignment shops that will sell a really nice dining room set?? I have a beautiful set from Southern Lifestyles in excellent condition and it's just too good to turn over to bargains and treasures??

[Dan9871]

I've seen some nice dining sets at the Furniture Barn Home (https://www.furniturebarnconsignment.com/) . Almost Perfect is another place to check. Almost Perfect Furniture and Home Decor (http://almostperfectfurniture.com/)

I've always had good luck selling things right here. Go to the classified, take some pictures and write a little information.

I'm not a lady, but to answer your question. Nearlee New on 441/27 in Fruitland Park will only sell good furniture that must look showroom new. The owner is very picky about what she will accept.

That is hard to believe. I sent a neighbor over there about six months ago looking for a living room set. He's very picky, he didn't even like what Babettes had. He found a leather set for a good price. I would to say the woman is honest, I wanted to sent a TV stand over there in June and she turned it down. She could of easily took it, sold it, and never heard from again.

How much do you plan to ask for it?

[mysunshine1948]

I know! I did sell my Tommy Bahama table and chairs on here, but still have Buffet for sale. Once you have it....it is yours and we never get it's worth!!!!

Unfortunealtly furniture probably depreciates faster then automobiles. Once it is in your house, even if sat in only once, its value becomes pennies on the dollar. It is " valuable " to you, but not so much to anyone else.

Sopiist a pic and see what happens

Just so folks know....I had a Lexington (top of the line) Bob Timberlake bedroom set before we moved here. I spoke with a consigning person and he told me I'd probably make 10 to 20% of the price we paid for it. He said you can't get what you think the items are worth from used furniture. We ended up not selling it but kept it in the family instead. I'm often amazed on TOTV what folks will ask for items.

BUT in answer to your question there's a consignment store in Ocala that's "fine" and is located next to a health food store. It's on Silver Spring, I think. Can't remember the name.

I agree. A friend bought a furnished Premier home and wanted to put her Grand Piano in the dining room and tried to sell the beautiful dining set that came with the house for something NEAR it's worth.. She got very little for it.

I wonder if someday dining at dining tables with cloth napkins and matching dishes saved for good occasions with be laughed at as quaint old customs.

[justjim]

Not a lady either. However, I would highly recommend "Furniture Barn" in Fruitland Park. Honest and respectful owner's. I'm amazed too at what some ask for items listed on TOTV not only furniture but also houses.

[Mary Kay]

We will be looking for a king bedroom set and a queen bedroom set around Aug 13th in case someone is thinking of selling. Also will be looking for a gas golf cart.

Agree. I've bought and sold a number of things on TOTV. Don't ask too much, though, or you'll get no interest. As others have said, used furniture is never worth as much as you think. Sell it yourself and you won't need to share the proceeds.

[sunny46]

There is a place in Ocala but I'm sorry I can't remember the name. Look for consignment stores in Ocala.

I sold my dining room set on here in a nano second, for what I considered to be a good price--about a fourth of what we paid for it a decade ago. If it no longer works for your current situation, consider the fact that you've gotten good use out of it, and do something else. As our teenage son once said to me, "Acknowledge and move on!" (Although I think that had something to do with his grades or a dent in the car...)

[gomsiepop]

I had a one year-old entertainment center that I bought in Babette's for $2,200. A year later we were moving and I had no use for it. I took pictures and placed an ad in Talk of the Villages for $750. I accepted an offer for $650. I don't think the ad ran for more than a week.

I realize I am not being helpful on the topic of where to sell furniture in TV, but for the sake of curiosity or if you want to get a feel for what things can end up being worth.........

There is an online auction company called "Everything But the House." The company started a few years ago in Cincinnati, but they are now doing online auctions in cities across the country. I think they do some in Tampa.

They auction furniture and art and jewelry and china and cars and decorative items and vintage clothing and antiques and all kinds of other stuff. Some of the items are from the homes of the hoity-toity.

Anyway, if you are curious about such things, the website for "Everything But the House" is ebth.com but I must warn you if you start to look around the site, your time might get away from you.

PS: I would link the site for you but I keep forgetting to learn how to link when I am on the iPad and not the laptop.

Darn you Boomer!
Now I'm lusting after the life-size bronze sculpture "Three Live Monkeys" in the Dr. Robert Schuller sale.
Boomer is right - do not go on this website!

Hey Bare -
Since you have your heart set on those "Three Live Monkeys" I decided not to bid. You're welcome. LOL

Oh my! Barefoot! Please! Take a deep breath! I just saw that the bidding on that monkey bench has run up to 575 dollars and there are still 7 days left in that auction.

I did warn you......said the woman who is right now looking at a wooden propeller from a vintage airplane.
