Providing a furnished house

[Peta]

I have some contacts to obtain second hand furniture to furnish a rental property for uni students but I wanted to know if anyone knows of a way to obtain second hand furniture from motels or hotels so that there is some sort of consistency in terms of furnishing the house.

Do they auction off excess stock at some stage?

Contact the local hotels and ask them. Last time I bought ex-hotel furniture I found out from someone who worked there. Apparently all the staff were getting first choice at bargain-give-away prices. There was no auction. I was just given a name and ph number to contact. Worked for me.

I have never been, but have seen advertised in the Auction section of th WA newspapers auctions for Hotel furniture and goods...dont know if they do the same in Sydney, but I imagine they would - just check the Auction section each week, or call the big Auction houses.

Cheers, Nadia

Here in Brissie, I've attended numerous "ex hotel" and "ex motel" auctions...all there to be had, sometime bargains, sometimes not...

See iif you can find any...good luck!
