If you are a Tyler business working from a commercial office space or even if just working from home I have a few tips on buying your office furniture that should help you save some money. There are a couple of places in town that sell used office furniture. There are also several stores that sell office desks, chairs and furniture for high prices. There also happen to be some little spots in town where you can get excellent condition office furniture for half or more off the retail price. One of my biggest pet peeves is when you go to a used office furniture store only to find the used furniture discounted off retail by 10 – 15 %. This isn’t a savings. You can save that much simply by shopping around and several retail locations selling new office furniture.

My best luck in buying high quality office furniture at an affordable price was by using the Tyler Texas Craigslist classifieds. The online classified are free for inviduals and businesses to use which allows a lot of merchandise to be posted on there for people like me to see. I am always finding very good deals on used desks, chairs, filing cabinets, and similar office type furniture. There will always be people on there trying to sell stuff for way more than it is worth but for the most part it is easy to talk people down on price.

I have usually found a filing cabinet or desk that was reasonably priced and was listed a week to 3 weeks on the craigslist board to go for much less. When the seller has listed their merchandise on the board the longer it sits out there the cheaper they are willing to let it go. Think about it, these businesses don’t want it any more and the last thing they want to have to do is haul it off somewhere. You are basically hauling it off for them. In some cases I have been able to get modern looking furniture for absolutely free simply because I was willing to haul it off and they just didn’t want it.

This I don’t want it syndrome is a known phenomenon often found on the Tyler Texas Craigslist. Craigslist is my favorite choice for finding the best deals although if you are not an online person I would suggest checking out the newspaper. No matter what I recommend completely avoiding attempting to buy used office furniture from a used office furniture store. You will end up with terrible outdated furniture at retail prices. Don’t waist your time and money driving out to one of these used office furniture stores it really isn’t worth it.

Another option when trying to get affordable office furniture that doesn’t rely on the newspaper or online is going to Sam’s Wholesale club. You can usually get new office furniture there about 30 % cheaper than what you will find at Office Depot and other stores. Sam’s also has an office furniture catalog where you can order the office furniture you want and they will deliver it to the nearest Sam’s Wholesale club near you. In my opinion Craigslist and Sam’s Wholesale Club are the top two spots for getting the cheapest nicest looking office furniture in town.
