How STL Furniture Liquidation Sales Work (And How to Win the Best Pieces)
Discover the insider secrets to getting the best deals at St. Louis furniture liquidation events. Learn when to shop, what to look for, and how to spot the highest-value pieces.
📅 Truckload & Seasonal Timelines
Understanding the liquidation calendar is crucial for finding the best deals. Truckload events typically happen monthly, with the biggest savings during seasonal transitions. Mark your calendar for these key shopping windows:
- January-February: Post-holiday clearance with up to 70% off
- March-April: Spring furniture transitions and floor model clearances
- July-August: Mid-year liquidation events and scratch & dent specials
- October-November: Pre-holiday inventory clearance
Pro Tip
Shop early in the liquidation event for the best selection, but wait until the final days for maximum discounts. Items that don't sell by day 3-4 often see additional markdowns.
