"Mam, we're selling new household furniture...
...off the truck..."
Yes...that's what just happened. Some big old truck is outside my house w/some random guys knocking on doors selling furniture out of their truck...
Umm...anyone ever seen this?

Re: "Mam, we're selling new household furniture...
Yep, its that time of year again. They claim to be from North Carolina and have an overstock of furniture. I have never gone to take a look but friends who have, have said there are no bargains. In my development its almost comical because the homes are pretty far apart and these guys park in the middle of the block and just start ringing doorbells.

As a new homeowner i actually looked in the truck once because I was curious. Mostly crap.

They used to always come to my mom and dad's block every year.
They eventually had a store/booth in the Atias Flea market in Holbrook/Sayville. My mom had bought some stuff from them and it was good quality for a great price. Not sure how it is now though.

You don't really save much, the furniture that they had in my neighborhood was Broyhill The price was about what I could negotiate on my own, so I didn't see it as a savings, because who am I gonna complain to if it breaks.
