I moved to a new state, and I went to two garage sales in nice communities and got a house FULL of stuff for less than $350. I didn't buy a used couch or bed, though. I paid big bucks for those at major stores. Couch/Chair: $700, Bed $650
Good luck with furniture! I'm afraid of old couches, but then again, I moved to the South, with bugs.
