We are getting ready to buy some furniture and some carpet.
Since it will be a non-trivial amount of money and since most
furniture dealers will deal, I would like to approch it similar
to shopping for a car. IE. Offer a certain amount over "cost".
But first, I need to find out what "cost" is.

Does anyone know what the approximate markup is that furniture
dealers use? Most dealers seem to have similar "discount"
prices, so I assume the markup will be similar among most
of the dealers. Also any ideas how much carpet is marked up?
Any other tricks of the trade you are aware of will be helpful.

Also, does anyone have any experience with Parker's Furniture
and Carpets in Fuquay? How about Jack Well's furniture on
US 401S. of Raleigh.

Thanks for your help.            Joe Slater sasjzs@vms.sas.com
                                 Mine opinion is just that.
