About Barleeys
What is Barleeys Furniture Finder?
Barleeys Furniture Finder aggregates furniture from upcoming online auctions within 150 miles of Washington, DC. These items are automatically scraped from auction websites and run through an AI filter to accurately determine the category, style, and age of the piece. Our scraper also collects info on the auction itself, such as the end time of the auction, the location of the piece, and the pickup date of the auction. We've added multiple filters to help you search by these attributes, in an attempt to make the process of finding the perfect piece as easy as possible. Our filter also adds estimated dimensions to pieces that don't have their dimensions listed, helping you make more informed purchasing decisions.
The Advantage of Auctions
Purchasing furniture from auctions is almost always much cheaper than purchasing from a furniture store. We also believe that it provides a better experience than purchasing from local marketplaces like Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, etc. Auction prices are often even cheaper than local marketplaces, and you avoid all the hassle and risk that comes with buying from a private seller.
The Drawbacks of Auctions
Despite the fact that auctions are a great source of furniture, they come with some drawbacks. They can be overwhelming to navigate, and it can be difficult to find exactly what you're looking for. There are 100s of small auction houses in the DC area alone, meaning that you may have to search for hours to find the perfect piece. We've simplified the process by aggregating all the furniture from upcoming auctions into one place, and adding filters to help you find exactly what you're looking for.
The True Value of Barleeys
Whether you purchase from a furniture store, an auction, or a private seller, you still run into the same problem. How do you get the furniture home? It's extremely rare that furniture sellers will offer in house delivery. This means that you'll need either to rent a truck, or pay hundreds of dollars to a local moving company to have it delivered for you. The process of getting quotes from local moving companies and coordinating a delivery is time consuming and stressful. Because of this, buyers will often wait until they've purchased the furniture to start the process of getting delivery quotes, meaning that they have no way of knowing what the final price will be until they've already made a purchase.
Barleeys at it's core is a shipping and logistics company. We will handle every detail of your delivery in house. We've made it as seamless as possible to schedule a delivery by integrating automated delivery quotes into our furniture finder. This is only possible with the recent advancements in AI technology. Due to the fact that we have access to so much information on the furniture you'll find on our site, we can accurately estimate the cost of delivery for any given piece with no manual intervention. You'll know exactly what the final price will be before spending a dime, allowing you to make a truly informed decision. Automated quotes and delivery consolidation also mean that you'll get a far better price from Barleeys than a local moving company, regardless of where you purchase your furniture from.
