Today’s Secondhand Sunday treasure is a BEAUTY! I got an email from Liz and she found this Pier 1 Armoire on Craigslist for FREE. She believes it retailed for close to $500 new! What a score!
I think furniture is one of those things you can almost always find used (and for a bargain). There is so much on Craigslist that is cheap or free, and barely used! People change styles or move or find something different and they are usually pretty anxious to get rid of furniture because of it’s size.
Secondhand Sunday is a series I’m doing through to feature deals that readers are finding secondhand – either at a thrift shop, garage sale or on Craigslist. It’s to encourage us all to consider secondhand purchases when we try to save money. Liz will get a $10 Amazon gift card for sending in her secondhand treasure! So really. . .it’s like she actually came out $5 ahead. Love it.
Since we started this series, here are some of the secondhand treasures we’ve featured:
- Keurig coffee machine, only $1 at garage sale, received a new one from Keurig (reg. $180)
- Bought old violin for $5, resold for $125!
- Chicco Double Stroller $40, valued at $299
- A FREE Baby Grand Piano valued at $1,000
- Beth saves 97% off a KitchenAid Professional Mixer
- Seneca saves 99% off a Harveys Seatbelt Designer Purse
- Kristyle saved more than $160 off a Bissell Spotbot
- Kendra’s Gucci purse for just $30
Send in your secondhand treasures and if I feature your score here on the blog, you’ll get a $10 Amazon gift card!
- I’ll be featuring one secondhand score each Sunday
- If I feature your thrift-store or garage sale treasure here on the blog you’ll get a $10 Amazon gift card!
- Please email me a photo at thehive@queenbeetoday.com – include in the email a short description of what you found secondhand, what you paid for it and what you think it retails for. Use subject line Secondhand Treasure when you send the email.
- Try to take a photo that is not blurry and is in good light (try natural light, no flash, if possible). The better your photo the more likely it will be to make it on the site. People want to see what you got!
- If you bought something secondhand and restored it or improved it somehow – I’d love before and after photos!
I’d love to hear – what sort of furniture have you scored for FREE or cheap on Craigslist or at garage sales?!
