How Much Are Used Lazyboy Recliners?
If the article title caught your attention, chances are you are thinking of getting a second hand Lazyboy recliner. You are also probably interested to know whether the price you found on eBay or Craigslist is reasonable enough, or if you could get a recliner chair at a price lower than that in your nearby thrift shop.
Well, the price of second hand recliners varies greatly. They can range from less than a hundred to a few hundreds of dollars. What factors can affect the price of second hand Lazyboy recliners? Well, there are a few:
1. Where you buy it from
Prices of used Lazyboy recliners in thrift stores generally average a hundred to $200 dollars depending on the model available. Double recliners and recliners with special features cost more. On the other hand, buying online through auction sites or Craigslist generally cost a lot less, with moving sales giving recliners away for less than $100! Sellers who are moving soon give them away for a great bargain, especially those in a hurry to dispose their furniture the soonest possible time. However, shipping fees is usually the problem when you buy online. Since these recliners are bulky and heavy, freight and transport fees usually cost a lot, depending on your location. Shipping expenses are not a problem when you buy in your local thrift shop; some even provide delivery service to your home.
2. The condition of the Lazyboy recliner
Sellers usually price their recliner depending on its condition. Lazyboy recliners in mint condition generally cost more than those with wobbly legs, missing parts, faded areas, slight damage, and so on. Make sure that you check the condition of the recliner before deciding to buy. If you come across a recliner that costs $100 but has problems in its frame, you might end up spending more on repairs. On the other hand, a recliner that costs $200 but with only some faded areas due to light exposure and with no other damage, you can actually enjoy a brand-new looking recliner by just getting it a slipcover.
3. Shipping fees involved
As mentioned earlier, buying online is usually cheap but you will have to pay unnecessary hefty courier fees. This is the same reason why Lazyboy recliner sellers often sell their used units cheap – to convince you that the shipping fees are well worth it. If you buy in a thrift shop that does not offer delivery services for free, you will notice that their units cost slightly less than those in thrift shops with delivery services. Try to weigh the options and go for one that will provide you the best deal.
When buying a second hand recliner, make sure that there are no hidden charges involved such as value-added taxes. Also, if you want to have your used unit shipped, it might be worth it to get some insurance to cover improper handling and shipping problems. It is also worth trying to haggle to lower down the price. If the price and quality is right, buying second hand Lazyboy recliner is truly a great deal.
