Re: Where to find inventory for new furniture store
Interesting post. I don't know if this is serious or a troll setting up to spam the forum. I suspect the latter.
I've owned a furniture store since 1986 and certainly would not open doing what you propose, you will last 6 to 12 months then be gone. Liquidation furniture is exactly that, cheap crap that no one wants, which is why its being liquidated. Once you get a reputation for selling garbage, no one will patronize your store.
You make money by setting margins and sticking to them first of all, then secondly by controlling costs. You get loyal customers by being honest and not selling them poor-quality consumer goods. You cannot sell both cheap and quality goods, you decide a niche and stay in that lane. Costco owns the cheap furniture market along with Ashley, hard to go against them.
The High Point Furniture Market starts end of next week. If this is a serious post, then get yourself to High Point next weekend and go see the supplier showrooms. Listen and learn.
