House Stuff

[Black Widow]

Hi Guys,

Well last week my relationship status changed and as a result need to find a place to live...the only issue is i don't have any of the below:

bed

TV

Washing Machine/Dryer

Fridge/Freezer

Drawers/cupboards

TV stand/cabinet

basically anything else you'd need to be able to successfully live by yourself (lamps etc)

Wondering if anyone has any of this stuff for sale/giveaway...or could point me in the right direction.

Obviously there's things like garage sales/ebay that i can sus out..but yeah..any help would be appreciated.

[Munkyb0y]

the other option is to rent a furnished apartment/unit/house.

Trading post and your local paper's classifieds would be a good place to look. Salvos / Vinnies might also have some of the stuff you are after

If you are after a cheap bed in a hurry, I suggest going to a camping shop and picking up a swag and a sleeping bag. This will keep you warm and relatively comfortable, as well as a handy item to have in the car after a long, hard night on the cans

At this point I’d like to point out that the TV / TV cabinet is really a luxury and probably should be considered last

I have a Foz with towbar Nick. I don't have a box trailer etc tho'

I have time after 11.30 on an occasional Sunday when church finishes to drive around and pick up/deliver stuff.

Edit* Got a sleeping bag, as Matt suggested.

I bought heaps of cheap shit from fantastic furntiure

while its cheap, its surprisingly good!

they have some pretty good packages for say, 1 bedroom unit to 3 bed houses

[Prue]

Def check out Fantastic Furniture. They're house packages are a really good price for the amount you get.

I can get hold of a rear projection for you, think it's about 60ish cm, my parents said they were going to give it to my grand parents. But i'm sure they have a working TV already, maybe you will end up with their tv instead, think they had a 40cm rear projection. I'll let you know when I talk to everyone next.

Thanks mate!

And thanks guys i'll sus out Fantastic Furniture!!

Cant help you with much. But I would suggest vinnies or salvos store. (one on parramatta rd Ashfield. Just past bunnings is masive) not only do you get cheap stuff. Its helping out the charity too.

I just went through a similar situation as you early this year and thats what i did. Furnished a 1br apartment for $500ish (Sofa bed, bed frame (i had a mattress), coffee table, kitchen table/chairs, lamps, bed side table, chest of draws, washing machine).

Just remember to have a van or trailer as they wont sell big stuff too you unless you can take it right then and there.

PS. Sorry to hear about the bust up.

I have a disassembled queen bed+mattress+2 x bedside tables. It's very girly though (was my gf's old bed).

And in light of the above posts, I'm pretty sure she got it from Fantastic too.

I think we've used the slats for something else though hold on I'll go check.

[Noclue]

I might still have one of those small old tv with a dvd player...will check and let u know

When I moved into my first place, i bought a bunch of stuff from Fantastic and Ikea, it's only been a couple of years but its all still going strong today. Fantastic often has some pretty good deals as well, i got a 3 seater + 2 recliners for $1000

[Shell]

Didn't you only just get married? or am I thinking of someone else..

Really sorry to hear anyway

Yeah as said, Fantastic Furniture is good... Oz Design has some good bargains too.

Keep an eye out for an older TV as a freebie!!.... people are always them giving away cos you can't sell them now (the ones with the big backs )

Does your paper have one of those "free or under $50" type sections - might find a bargain in there?

Ohh and try ebay too!!

[Pezhead]

If you want a TV and can pick up on the Nth Shore you can have my shop TV. Is only a CRT 50cm I think. I've got a standard def digital tuner for it.

If you can swing the financing check into some of the 0-interest deals going on. Wife and I did that with our dining furniture and outdoor stuff. Was good so we could pay it down in our own time - had like 40 months to do it. If you can work it into your budget then gives you a way to buy nicer stuff.

Good luck with it.

Hey dude if you got about $200 i got a Hoover 5.5kg washing machine,Decent sized tv unit with all the cupboards and shelves n cd racks and 1 single seat lounge.

[eiresgaus]

I can keep a look out, i live in a complex of about 800 apartments and generally if people are getting rid of still-decent things like tv's (the big back ones), chairs, fans etc they leave them in the carpark, got myself 2 bar stools recently that were in fine condition!
