There seems to be a new trend with many Americans that 2nd hand goods are the way to go. It seems like more people are comfortable with maintaining what they currently have or buying gently used items that others are selling. With that in mind, I have been looking at the tools available for this purpose.
Below are these tools:

I use Ebay pretty often, even for new items. The prices for new items are almost always less expensive than department stores and for used items are usually close to Craigslist.
I set up an auto withdraw from our corporate account. Each withdrawal is a fraction of a cent. That's too small to notice. Take a thousand withdrawals a day, space it out over a few years, that's a couple hundred thousand dollars. Just like Superman III!
Here are some good options when buying furniture:
* Government Surplus - The stuff you get is typically worn and not always pretty, but usually is well-built and durable. I've got a government surplus filing cabinet my parents bought back in 1980 that shows no signs of wearing out within the next 75 years.
* Hotel Furniture - There are a few stores around Atlanta that sell used hotel furniture. Sometimes you can get attractive lamps, chairs, tables, etc, at good prices. You may be able to buy a quality used couch in good shape and reupholster it for the price of a low quality new couch.
* Scratch and Dent - There are stores that sell scratch and dent inventory. This can be really helpful if you need to furnish a rental property, as including a washer, dryer, and fridge can make it much easier to find renters. In some cases, you can also find appliances with severe scratches or dings that you know will be hidden by the construction of your home.
An impressive share! I have just forwarded this onto a friend who had been conducting
a little research on this. And he in fact ordered me dinner
due to the fact that I discovered it for him... lol.
So allow me to reword this.... Thanks for the
meal!! But yeah, thanx for spending time to discuss this topic here
on your blog.
