jenL Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Would you pay $100 for a couch in mint condition that is not even 2 years old? It's micro suede. Or should I talk them down? Btw, the family selling it is from our church. I've never bought used furniture before. :001_unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassoonaroo Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Check for bedbugs and sniff it for weird odors. Casually ask why they are selling it. Then buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariannNOVA Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I would ask if it is in a non-smoking home, (I would ask about pets if that is important to you), I would probably want to know what they paid for it new, where they bought it, was it in a room where it was seldom used or in a room where it was 'well loved,' and I would absolutely trust my instincts when I saw it. I have purchased gorgeous pieces of furniture off craigslist that truly were never used and were for all intent and purpose 'new.' If the piece looked anything less than brand new/mint (as you said), I would offer them $75.00 If it truly is mint, I might offer them their asking price -- truly mint. hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WishboneDawn Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 $100? I would think that would be a fantastic bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is really mint, I would jump on it before someone else does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotSoObvious Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I sold a matching microfiber couch and love seat that were about 6 years old for $200. They were in good shape, but not mint! I think $100 is a steal for something one year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
