WHY CLEARANCE SOFAS WHEN YOU CAN BUY CATALOG SOFAS AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE?

DON’T FALL FOR CLEARANCE SOFA PRICE GIMMICKS AT UK FURNITURE SITES!

We can’t name competitors but it is common practice for most furniture companies in the UK to try to sell off their slow moving or unsold sofas with big clearance markdowns. But, a £2,999 sofa being sold for £799? Really. It’s the oldest trick in the book. You first markup the original price of the sofa by a lot. What’s a lot? Any number that makes the sofa look expensive and like it is a luxury sofa that just didn’t happen to sell. Then, you take that price and slash it down heavily, calling it a clearance sale.

So, if you didn’t know any better, you go to one of the pages that sell these so called clearance sofas and look at a £2,999 sofa being sold for £799 and think, ‘wow, that’s a steal’. But, what if the original price of the sofa was just £899 or £999.

If this happens, first, you are being deceived into thinking that you are buying a luxury sofa at a bargain price. Secondly, at £799, you are doing yourself grave injustice by having to pick a sofa from the limited pickings that you see on a clearance page. On clearance pages, you typically don’t see a lot of variety. You just try to settle for a sofa from the slim pickings they have, just because you think you are getting a good deal.

Instead, if you shopped at Abakus Direct, you get great sofas at great prices, always. Our clearance prices are our regular sale prices! That’s how affordably priced we are.

DISADVANTAGES OF BUYING CLEARANCE SOFAS

MISLEADING MARKDOWN PRICES 

As mentioned earlier, sofas listed as clearance sales are typically marked up and then marked down, giving you the illusion that you are getting a great deal.

LACK OF CHOICES 

You want to choose your sofa and not let a sofa choose you because it is the only sofa you can afford on the clearance page. This applies to all the attributes that you look for in a sofa. From sofa type to sofa colour to sofa upholstery, you want to always buy a sofa that fulfills your every need. It usually isn’t possible when you buy clearance sofas, unless you get lucky.

LACK OF COMPLEMENTING FURNITURE CHOICES 

What if you are buying a sofa set? Trying to pair a corner sofa with a 3 seater sofa? Good luck doing that with items on clearance sofa sales. On clearance pages, you typically only find only one of the sofa types you are after. A corner sofa on clearance might cost £799 but a complementing 3 seater sofa might not be in clearance but a part of the main catalogs, listed at £1,799. It defeats the purpose of shopping clearance in the first place.

CLEARANCE SOFAS ARE USUALLY DISPLAY SOFAS OR HAVE BEEN IN SOMEONE’S HOME

90% of sofas that are sold as clearance were usually display sofas. This would mean that the sofa listed as a clearance item might have once been in a showroom, with countless number of people trying it out. It will without a doubt be cleaned and sent to you like new. But, do you really want a sofa that has been sat on a lot already?

If not a display sofa, a clearance sofa is usually a sofa that was sold, but then returned. Most furniture companies accept returns only if the sofa hasn’t been damaged. But, even if a sofa isn’t damaged, it has to go through 2 delivery cycles and also a brief time in a home where it is used like a personal furniture item. Sometimes, clearance sofas can show small signs of wear and tear and use when you do end up ordering one.

Avoid all these problems by buying your brand new sofa from Abakus Direct. We recently wrote another post on why you shouldn’t buy second hand sofas if you are thinking of that route. Buying second hand sofas is usually a worse idea than buying clearance sofas.
