Looking to get two of these, one for the living room and one for the computer. But $150 was a little more than I wanted to spend on each. Anyone know where to get these cheaper?

Do you haggle when buying furniture? Like, walk into Ikea and offer 500 for a 700 sofa? Or do you just do that for smaller stores? I need to buy a couch, dining table with chairs, some bar stools, coffee table, and a bed frame with boxsprings at the end of summer.

Sorry to thread steal, but think of it as a bump.

I'm in the same situation, kinda. I've held my (first) job for about 6 months now and want to "upscale" the college-era furniture I've dragged around every time I've moved.

To asnwer your question, I've found that in every large store *except* sun electronics want me to pay full price. Sun has some weird commission system that allows the salesman to go fairly low on prices. Of course furniture-only stores will haggle with you but I can't afford that kind of furniture.
