Never really paid attention to home accessories but now since I am a new home owner I am trying to invest in nice, high quality items. I made a recent visit to the furniture store to look at nick knacks and other items. (They always have the coolest accessories at the furniture place) I started by looking at the lamps for the bedroom set we bought and they were very cool but a hundred bucks each I thought was a little steep. The guy said he could lower to around $65 until I asked to take the floor models. Boom scored both for $80.00. So I started catching on to this "take it off the floor" idea. I looked at the comforter set and it was price at $165.00. Wow I don't think I have paid more than $50 on clearance for a bed in a bag set. $165.00 seamed like a good chunk of change for sheets and a comforter. I had taken another picture of one on my iPhone I really liked (the one in the picture), so I decided to seek that one out. OMG $569.00 I thought to myself, they make stuff that expensive. Paying $165, just maybe, but $569 NO FLIPIN' WAY!! The sales clerk got tied up with another sale while I was pondering Overstock.com. I looked up the set online (lovin' the iPhone) $509 but on clearance for $87.50 No stock available. Could not find any online so I had only one option. Do you think I could talk my way into getting the one on the floor for the same $87.50? Well I love a good challenge so with a little convincing, arm pulling, and distraction I now own a $565.00 comfortable, elegant, and downright cool bed set for the price of $87.50. Who would have thought!
The next time you go shopping for a clock, bedding, lamps, or wall art, go to a furniture store. Everything is negotiable, generally in great shape (Kids get off that!!) and ready to become yours for less then you think. BTW Doesn't hurt to buy a crap load of furniture and hang that over the sales person head either.
