I recently went into a huge used office furniture warehouse near to my home. While I had found exceptional bargains there for computer operator desks, I was uncertain as to whether office chairs and other pieces of office equipment I needed could be found at the right price with little wear. I strolled among hundreds of conference room chairs, phone operator chairs and leather executive office chairs. None of them were worth a darn. The fact that they were too worn and missing parts did not surprise me.
What did surprise me is that the prices this used office furniture company were asking for any of their office seating was actually equal to or greater than the price of the same chairs brand new. I was actually able to find better quality in new condition on display at the local Wal-Mart. This is not to say that I want to go to a discount department store to buy chairs for our company. I simply felt that I should have been able to purchase these chairs in volume, either new or used, at a better price. Eventually I did find a way to buy brand new office chairs for every department of our company at a terrific bargain. I did this by purchasing our office chairs online at a website specifically dedicated to sales of office seating.
