Hi friends. I want to try furnishing a few units. 

Has anyone found a good place or way of finding nice stuff inexpensively? 

Thanks,

Gabriel

I like to go to resale and thrift stores in wealthier areas. I.E. I live in the city of Chicago but go to stores near where my parents live in the suburb of Oak Park and other wealthy western suburbs. You would be surprised what upper class people get rid off.

Also i use Craigslist a lot too. I got a full 3 piece $5000 couch set for $900 that was about 2 years old. Reason for the guy selling? His wife saw some new furniture that she loved and bought it so he has to get rid of the old ones to make room. Apparently he wasnt happy to sell it but he could afford the new ones and wanted to make his wife happy.

So find those areas nearby with upper middle class and above and you can sometimes score some deals.
