Hi

 

Can anyone in the Kent/Sussex/Essesx/Suffolk area recommend any good second hand furniture places? I am looking for an old leather chair, e-bay has a few but I may be better off going for a rummage in a shop. If anyone knows any good places I would apreciate the tip

 

Thanks

I used to live in Essex and there are quite a few second hand furniture shops around Southend. Les and Gary's on the London Road in Westcliff on Sea is a big one and there always used to be plenty to look at there but I don't know if it is particularly cheap and it is over 10 years since I was last there

I'd say forget the shops and go for Ebay - I've furnished half of my house off of Ebay and paid much less than I've seen anything for in any secondhand shop. I have a fantastic rocking, swivelling & reclining chair that cost me a tenner. Loads of Ikea Billy bookcases that go for about half price and also tables sideboards etc all at total bargain knockdown prices.

 

I couldn't recommend it more highly (which considering the Ebay problems I've had lately is surprising to me somewhat - but I've never had a problem wtih a furniture purchase.

Hi Flo,

Thats the one thing I really miss about living in Kent....I used to spend whole days at auction houses...it was a hobby!!!!....and one of the best places for finding real bargains. Try Canterbury and Sandwich...catalogues should be available on~line....take some time off and enjoy!

Otherwise try Emaauus...?sp...there's one at Dover.

Good luck and have fun bargain hunting!

Thank you for all the tips.

 

I am watching a couple of chairs on e-bay but I will check out the other places too.

 

Thanks
