Title: Looking for Decent Furniture........NW...Bellingham to Lynnwood Areas
Post by: the teacher on December 17, 2012, 11:30:51 AM
So if you are up in the Seattle area and end up with a locker that has some good furniture I would be interested (by "good", I mean NOT particle board and not broken or missing drawers or ripped up, etc.....some scuffs and scratches are okay). 

I have a truck and trailer and could pick it up if you have a fair amount.  We could also make arrangements to pick up just a piece or two if we can be flexible, I'm not going to make a 60 mile trip to pick up a single chair for example, but if I can combine it with another trip and have to be down there anyway, why not? 

I would prefer between Bellingham and Lynnwood, perhaps as far as Seattle for a trailer load of good stuff.  Thanks.

I avoid units with furniture, no truck.

But I hit estate sales often. Tacoma/puyallup  to Everette but mostly (90%) in UW, ballard, capital hill area.
Last day they work deals.   Have seen some beautiful pieces go for pennies because if not sold thy have to lug it out and donate.


Want me to give you a heads up or you looking for a sure thing (not go there to find its gone or overpriced in your eyes). .....or are you looking for "free"?

Oh no, I'm not looking for free......I will pay a fair price for decent stuff.  I have a number of antique pieces now, and have sold quite a few the last couple of months.  I just picked up a load today, and I have some really unique pieces for sale right now.  I'm always looking for good quality and antique furniture though.  The problem is, I can't drive down to Seattle for one item and make it pay.....but if I can get some really nice pieces to where it's worth it....I'm there!  Thanks.
