I'm really scratching my head. Does it mean load the item to the truck, find a buyer, then delivery to him without dropping it in a warehouse?

I don't think this is going to work. What makes you think there will be an eager buyer? Used furniture is not a very liquid market. Sellers typically ask for more than buyers is willing to pay. It takes time to find a match. Some items will not find a buyer after a long time or never. That's why we need a warehouse.

I suppose that's true. I was assuming higher turnover of inventory, but have to admit that I've never sold furniture.

Amazingly, I got rid of a pile of gravel in my driveway via Craigs List, in a matter of hours.
