2. Arrive strategy: first hour for best pieces, final hours for best prices.
3. Negotiate the bundle: 3 items together get the real discount.
4. Check before buying: drawers slide, joints hold, and the smell test.
5. Plan the refresh: clean, tighten, and one coat of what it needs - nothing more.
Use my details, not a generic example. If a fact needed for the plan is missing, ask for it or mark the assumption. Keep the result ready to use.
