    I bought most of my furniture used and got some really good pieces at great prices.

    After a certain point though, I’m fed up of spending ages searching online and having to instantly jump on good deals. And if you’re not careful, you also end up with a load of random furniture that doesn’t fit together.

    Depending on the item, it’s quite literally not worth my time searching for a good used piece. As in, if I was charging an hourly wage for searching/collecting, overall I’d be net negative.

      And thats assuming you also have a vehicle to move it and the seller doesnt dick you around at all.

        Yeah, getting fucked about by sellers was also one of the worst parts. I’ve arranged to collect stuff before, then gotten a message saying they’ve sold it to someone else.

        Having sold stuff on marketplaces myself, if you agree to something then stick with it, even if you get a better offer.

        You could always rent a truck for a few hours. Though that does raise the effective coat you paid for it, but not by much.

          Wait till you rent the truck, turn up at their house to collect the item and they tell you they just sold it. But you can have your deposit back…
