| Help me sit on something. I need furniture for my new apartment. I have NOTHING. I need chairs, tables, and a bed would be nice. But I'm not too picky. Does anybody know anywhere to buy EXTREMELY cheap furniture? I'm talking desks for $20 cheap. Are there any secrets I should know about buying furniture? Help!!!

| Target or Walmart would be two places to try if you're in the US.

| Try a place like Goodwill. You won't find good things on every visit but from time to time some good stuff comes in. If there's one fairly close you can swing by frequently and check out the current stuff. There's a place like Goodwill here and they won't always take desks anymore, they get so many. You can also try Freecycle. http://freecycle.org/ |

| Moved the thread to the Café. I guess that's what you intended?  ... Either way: Find a company that dissolves or replaces its office furniture. I've got my magnificent desk from my mother's workplace when they got new furniture. It's a great desk: It just was too old and heavy for them for some reason. I think I've paid about 20$ for it. Similar: Office chair. It's a simple one but I've got it for free there.

How do you go about asking a company for their used goods? Do I just walk in and say "Hey, if you guys every feel like throwing stuff away gimme a call?" simbalala: That freecycle thing is very interesting. And who knew there'd be one right in my town?!
