How much would you pay for this couch?
    #15796753 -

Well, I'm moving out into my first place Saturday and still couchless. Found this on craigslist and I think it would go great in my soon to be place. They are asking $450 but figuring I don't know shit on furniture, I thought I'd get some extra opinions. Think that is a fair price or should I offer lower?

ALWAYS counter offer. Bargaining is the basis of craigslist man. Throw them an offer of $325 and see where it goes.

What year?
How many miles?
Regular maintenance?
Record of maintenance?
Number of conceptions?

Knowledge is power.

:lol: i meant jizz but ok. If their moving they will take the quickest offer they can get before they go. So that's a good sign.

!?!? wait till you see one that they arent asking an arm and a leg for. anything over 100$ for a USED couch, no matter how fancy, is fucking crazy.

it could've been involved in an orgy of HIV and syphilis patients, who knows.

if they're moving overseas and cant take with, offer $100. if they're close to their departure date, they'll take it.

Anything I post is a lie, including that...and that.

I know hahah.

Well a buddy of mine has the same exact couch and it is very comfy. I think it would flow for the type of style I am going for. I am going to offer them $325 and see what they say. I hope they take it because I only have about $350 to spend. Moving out is fucking expensive. ._.

Yeah it is if you're going to pay $ 325 for a second hand couch. I mean, it may be a fair price and all, but if you complain about moving out being expensive, why don't you simply set a budget for $150 for a couch and see what you can find for that?

Well, I really don't want anything that is complete shit. I mean, the term "You get what you pay for" really seems to stick to me for some reason. I have always been raised to get something you want instead of settling for something less until you can afford what you want.

The first thing you'll learn when living on your own will be 'beggars can't be choosers'. But it's up to you. All I know is that when I moved out, there was no way in hell I was going to pay $325 for a 2nd hand couch. I think I paid about half that for my first couch, and I kept it for 8 years until my ex insisted we bought another one. We then got the one I still have now; it cost us abut $300; got it from a lady who bought it new for ca. $2k a year prior to that.

Yeah I understand that.
How about this sectional for $599 new?
Only reason I am thinking about this is because they offer intrest free financing, along with no credit check, but I have pretty good credit so I am not worried on that. I could get approved for it easily.


"We now offer NO CREDIT CHECK Financing, Apply Today!!!


To keep our furniture cost low for everyone we pass on the finance charge to customers who choose to use it.

The finance charge is $40 plus 6% of the total sale.  This is typically around $75.  As long as you are approved for the full amount we can add this charge into your financing for ZERO DOWN.


This is through Progressive Finance, they offer 90 days same as cash

Or a 12 month Rent to Own option, all with No Credit Check. 


For the 90 days same as cash you only pay the total invoice price (price of furniture plus finance charges and sales tax) if paid within 90 days.


If you choose to finance the full 12 months, there is no interest rate.  The payment is a flat rate of 15% of the total purchase price for 12 months.  They also have an early payoff deal that can save you some money if you want to pay it off at any time during the 12 months. 


REQUIREMENTS:


There are only two key things that we look at when qualifying customers:


Income

Bank Account


We require the applicant has had steady income from the same employer for at least the last six months. We also require the applicant to earn at least $1,000 per month and deposit at least $500 per month into their checking account. The applicant must also have an active checking account for at least three months, and have no “Non Sufficient Funds” or excessive overdrafts in the last 30 days."

Think I should perhaps go with this?

I don't believe so. A co-worker told me to make sure to check for them though, but I haven't heard anyone talk about bedbugs here in at least 8 years.

Thats a pretty dam nice couch. and it reclines???? thats nice as fuck.



yea thats nice.


You HAVE to counter offer. they NEED to get rid of it. and they said OBO.

I would say $250 - $300 but you might be able to get away with less.

It might be some meth head selling their moms couch and really desperate.

Anyway, you have to haggle with them if you want the best price for you. this is your time to shine bro.

Dude, that's way too much for that couch. Hit up the salvation army or the arc thrift store. You could find couches just as good, some that are better for much less. And they actually have them cleaned before selling them.
