Queen bedroom set.

Update: Sold for $300



I bought this entire set for $160.  It is a solid wood and great and included the mattress set!  They stained it themselves and didn't do as nice of a job as I would have done :), but such a great deal. 

Small table

Update: Sold for $75. 

I bought this small table for $30.  I had to reupholster the chairs, but I had fabric left over from the bench I recovered a few weeks ago. 

Dining table set and hutch

Update: Sold for $300

I bought this table with leaf and matching hutch for $160.  They have some light wear and tear, but otherwise look great. 

Sofa set and sectional!

Update: Sold sectional for $500 and am not very happy about it.  They tricked me into selling it for way below my asking price of $600.  But I still made money and I needed to get furniture out for next weekends Arrowhead sales.


I scored this weekend. . .and spent a lot of money doing so. I am hoping my larger investments will generate larger returns.  Crossing my fingers.  I paid $350 for the entire living room set - which included coffee table set, sofa, love seat and lamps.  They are in perfect condition minus a smidgen of dog hair.  Gorgeous!
I got the beige microfiber sectional for $285.  It needed to be cleaned - dogs again(what is America's obsession?).  But otherwise in perfect condition. No stains, no tears, no nicks on the legs.  Next to my own leather sectional, these are the best I have seen at garage sales.  Major score.

Mismatched and darling table

Update: Sold for $110

I found the chairs for this set for $15, they are ikea and cheap so I thought - why not?  And I am glad as I found this great table in awesome shape shortly after for $15.  A table set will sell much more quickly than just a table or just chairs!  Yeah.

Great twin headboards

Update: Sold for $90!
I found these great headboards today with only one frame for $15.  They are solid wood and charming.  Great deal for me!!

Red Chaise

Update: Sold for $35
We got this for $15.  A smoker owned it and dropped his cigarette on it in a few places- but they are just tiny little spots that didn't burn all the way through - it needs to be cleaned.  I started and didn't think it was working so I stopped.  Then it dried and it was working, but had I returned the steam cleaner already by then.  Oh well.
