can you save money going to High Point NC to buy furniture?

do you think it pays to make a trip from Florida to NC to buy furniture to furnish a home? Do you actually save money?

Answers:
Mark-ups on high end and good furniture are as much as 500% in a typical furniture store. What I have done is locate a small local store, and I go talk to the owners. I let them know what I want, and when they say they don't carry that, I suggest that I will pay them a 50% markup, plus their delivery fee to my house, in advance if they will order it. This is a sale they wouldn't have otherwise made, with no risk of loss, since you have paid up front.
This is far cheaper than paying NC prices and freight, or picking it up yourself, as you need some experience to load and move new furniture without damaging it. (90% of damages are not breakage, but rubs, nicks, and scratches

good luck.
