    Sofa sales

    I am tempted to give it a go tomorrow but I don't really like massive crowds of people buying my sofas, is it worth bothering in the first place, maybe wait until January?

    If you wait until January VAT will have risen to 20% and your sofa will cost you an extra £5.00, so it is best not to wait.

      A £5 saving for a sofa is not something that would worry most people buying a sofa for £1,000. I suggest that the extra 2.5% VAT increase will not make very much difference to most people considering a large purchase. There may be a noticeable difference over a twelve month period but not for specific large items unless the amount being spent is considerably more such as major building work or a new car.

            Negotiate hard AtW. They always knock off another 10%. fact.

              I would go to John Lewis when they open again and buy one from them or order online now.
              Their clearance are quite good.
