Bargains & Treasures
Sailor and I are going furniture shopping (lamps and other little items), this week. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions.......Bargains & Treasures is the only resale shop on my list so far......and if time permits, (we are renting a car), we may go to the Markets of Marion... on Friday....
According to my numbers, I am a new user with less than 10 posts........that is the reason I posted here....... Thanks all, see you at Crispers Friday at 3:00p.m. Shirleevee

Re: Bargains & Treasures
Hi, we were able to get things we needed from Habitat for Humanity and from Craigs list.
On Craigs list we checked in both Ocala and Orlando. Have fun. HB |

I just visited Bargains and Treasures recently for the first time in almost a year. I used to recommend B & T to everyone for consignment furniture. But now I'm finding it a bit disappointing, prices seem to be higher and quality seems to be a bit less. Perhaps it's my imagination.

Neerly New Furniture on 441 has some really nice items. We bought a beautiful wood desk and the price was very reasonable.

When I told him it was wayyy more than I'd paid a year ago, he said I could price it cheaper, but he didn't recommend that. Uh, okay. What do you do? I told my husband their prices have skyrocketed. He said 'tis the season because of the part-timers. I just wanted to ditto what you said about the prices. |

Also try Centsible Furnishings and Almost Perfect on 441 heading north. Very good prices.

B and T prices
I am a frequent shopper at B&Treasures, and the manager defintely raises and lowers prices according to the season. While the seasonal folks are here, prices are much higher. Wait until April or May, and prices will drop again.

Bargains & Treasures
I have always been a fan of B&T, but have noticed they don't seem to have the variety of things they once had.
I find myself going to Almost Perfect Furniture (consignment) because of their vast selections and they are reasonably priced. I have found some wonderful things. It is located on 441 two miles west of 42 on the left sitting back from the road, but you can see it. I have not been to their store in Wildwood but have heard great things about it also.

Could it just be that the supply is moving faster than it can be replenished because of the accelerated TV development since last year at this time and not any changes with B&T itself? Also, it was mentioned further back about higher prices. Well, there is the law of supply and demand that can and does dictates that. Economics 101, or at least when I took it in college!

Perhaps but I was talking about 6-7 years ago and the numbers moving in then were probably the same as now. However, perhaps you are right - B&T then was one of the very few consignments then - since then, there are many. PS. I also took Economics 101!

Mike and I were in there yesterday to see if the stuff we sent for sale had indeed been sold. Looks like it has. While walking around I noticed quite a few very new looking sofas and loveseats. Quite a bit different from the last time I was in. Saw many dining sets, all nice, a few things I'd consider out of style now, but walking around wasn't easy. Lots of stuff and lots of people. Not sure if prices were higher, but the items I saw seemed to me to be quite reasonable. Maybe that's because I'm not a consignment sale shopper. In CA, the consignment shops near us were very expensive!
