Ashley Furniture an even better value? Doesn’t seem possible!

After almost six years in my role as general manager, I feel confident with my pricing of our inventory.  Additionally, I have several volunteers who are knowledge about pricing antiques.  These two things mean we rarely mark things down.  Since we have a no bartering policy – the price tag shows the amount you – or any other customer – will ever be asked to pay.  End of story.

Or is it? 

As we flip our calendar to a new month it seemed the perfect time to reassess the amount we were asking for furniture which has been in the store for a while.  The result?  Lower prices – much lower prices – on many pieces (especially antiques) which have been accumulating dust over the last few months. 

Add in our usual week of great donation pickups and our inventory is jammed pack and priced to move!  All we need is you, your VISA, MasterCard, Discover or cash and we’re ready to get down to business!

Stop in today from 1 to 8 or tomorrow from 9 to 4 to see up-close-and-personal the following items as well as the rest of our 30,000 square feet of inventory (though – technically – once the store opens today any of these posted items might be sold – always feel like I need to add that little disclaimer).

we have some unusual – and amazing – things in the store right now.  This bronze Native American figure from the Pompeian Bronze Co. would have been made some time prior to 1920 – it’s one of a pair of bookends and we’re selling it for $295 (again – there is only ONE – I took several shots of the same figure from different angles)

this is a gorgeous solid walnut antique dresser w/mirror priced $345 – donor gave us the history which included that it was “bought somewhere around Somerset, KY” and was brought to Illinois “on a raft down the Cumberland River about 1865-1875”.  Wow – it’s over a 135 years old!

Lower prices are always good.  Lower prices on quality used furniture where the proceeds are helping area kids and families through Outreach Community Ministries’ programs and services is icing on the cake!

And that, dear reader, is the sweetest kind of added value!
