I don’t think i have ever seen a furniture store without a liquidation sale sign

I genuinely fucking hate “local” furniture stores. That industry seems slimier than car sales honestly. Sell dog shit quality products for hundreds to thousands of dollars and then are allowed to act like they are going out of business constantly. There are always furniture stores around me having “liquidation sales” and “going out of business sales” and literally none of them have ever gone out of business. If anything, they usually raise their prices before their next sale.

It always reeks of money laundering to me.

[-] Riyria@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

There’s no way it’s not. Either that or there is some kind of tax loophole they’re able to take advantage of that lets them write all of the furniture off at a loss every year despite turning a profit.

Ashley Furniture in my home town has been going out of business since before I was 18, I'm now 32.

Same. We have an Ashley furniture and an Ashley furniture outlet that are perpetually liquidating their stock

And you can often find the EXACT same items on eBay for a tenth of the price.

Yeah, I bought an 800 couch last year from a place that was allegedly liquidating and it is GARBAGE quality. It’s already falling apart, the staples were noticeable the day we got it, the springs are poor quality, and the frame is cheap. I bought a couch that was easily 20 years old when I bought it and it lasted another three years before having to replace it, and now I’m going to have to replace this couch I bought BRAND NEW after a year.

My girlfriend's dad ran a waterbed store. He sold drugs.

[-] Steeve@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Oh no, that's terrible, where? Which waterbed store specifically?

[-] sangriaferret@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

I'm not sure. I can write to him in prison and ask.

[-] GreenMario@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Same, in multiple states.
