Leah-Lacie Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 You can occassionally drop into BH and find a bargain though, on the reconditioned stuff, which has been returned... They sell it only for the money that was outstanding on it, and if you have the cash to pay outright, even better. I once got a modern electric fireplace (the type with big cream surround with a bowl of pebbles in the middle on a wooden shelf) from the Crystal Peaks branch, listed at being £599+ the APR, for £42! I could have financed it over 12 months if I wanted, but no thanks! They also regularly have coffee tables and glass TV stands for £25 in the Moor branch.

Ms Macbeth Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 2nd hand goods. A settee is there to be sat upon. £5 Job done. (And the fiver was for delivery) You don't need to spend a lot... I'm impressed. I didn't think people did that nowadays. Almost every bit of furniture we had in our (tiny) flat when we got married in 1967 was second hand. It was great fun finding it! We've had various bit of new furniture since, so we've given away our old stuff to people who needed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manxcat Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I have been on Freecycle but can not find a way how to view items, like on ebay you can scroll down and view what is for sale with pictures. Freecycle isn't a business with items for sale to make a profit though is it? If you are genuinely looking to furnish your place and don't have the cash to pay for items outright you can't afford to be too picky (neither of course can you afford to let legalised loan sharks like Brighthouse take advantage!!). You can email people off Freecycle for more info and maybe a photo of anything that might be suitable - stuff gets snapped up quickly though.

alternageek Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I have already put a wanted add up regarding furniture a week or so ago and not had any replies, I do not want to get anything from a catalogue company because would rather check the furniture build quality first, not much in to cheep and tacky only lasting 5 minutes stuff. I may just need to go to a few second hand warehouses around see if they will allow deposits on things. Theres a few stores in town as well: http://www.emmaus-sheffield.org.uk/community_shop.php Emmaus Sheffield Unit 5 Sipelia Works Cadman Street Sheffield S4 7ZG Call 0114 272 0677 Looking at their ebay site, they have washing machines from £50 as well as dining room furniture PreLoved - online trade pages As well as this post from Nov 2011 listing 2nd hand stores all over Sheffield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority of people will post pictures if you contact them and will email you a photo back. See if someone can get you into town or loan you the money for a city saver (£5 for all day bus & tram services through Sheffield) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
