TRACK FIVE/STANDUP CLOSE Length :15
AUCTIONS AREN'T THE ONLY PLACES YOU CAN FIND THESE DEALS. ASK FOR MODEL HOME FURNITURE IN THRIFT STORES AND CONSIGNMENT SHOPS... OR VISIT MODEL HOMES EVEN BEFORE A SALE IS ADVERTISED ...IF YOU LIKE A PIECE, ASK IF YOU CAN RESERVE IT. FOR HEADS UP, I'M SCOTT HANSON.

ANCHOR TAG:
EXPERTS SAY MAKE SURE YOU CHECK THE FURNISHINGS FOR SPOTS OR SCRATCHES BEFORE YOU BUY BECAUSE MOST SALES ARE FINAL.
