Furniture for our new house: Spare room bed set


You know what I love? When you get a great deal at auction and then see the exact same item go for way more a few days later. Maybe it reinforces for me the fact that I got a good deal (or maybe I'm just sick) I don't know - either way, I like it ;) plus it shows that if I need to re-sell the item at some point, I should be able to at least get my money back.

It happened this week while I was shopping for furniture for our new house...

Spare room bed set
We bought an Ex-Marriott Hotel bedroom suite which included a double mattress, ensemble base, bedhead, 2 bedside tables, 2 lamps & 2 lampshades $270

The same seller split an identical set into separate listings and it sold for a total of $473

That's a difference of $200 for the same thing - Whoo hoo!
