For those interested in high-quality home furnishings, it offers an unparalleled opportunity to acquire unique pieces directly from the industry's forefront. Exclusive Access: Attendees have the opportunity to bid on and purchase exclusive furniture samples that are not yet available to the wider market. While the Market itself is a trade-only event showcasing the latest in home furnishings and decor trends to industry professionals, the Sample Liquidation Auction offers a unique opportunity for the public to engage directly with the high-end furniture world. This auction allows manufacturers and showrooms to liquidate their sample items that were displayed during the Market. These samples are often the first of their kind, including prototypes and showroom models, which are used to showcase furniture pieces before they are mass-produced for retail. Because these items are meant to impress buyers and are often made with high-quality materials and craftsmanship, the auction presents a rare chance for individuals to purchase unique, high-end furniture at potentially reduced prices. As-Is Purchases: Items are sold "as-is," reflecting their status as showroom samples. Buyers are encouraged to inspect items thoroughly before bidding. Buyer's Premium: A 12.5% buyer's premium (BP) is typically added to the final sale price, which buyers should factor into their bidding strategy. What is The High Point Furniture Market? HPMKT is known as the world's premier home furnishings event, is a biannual gathering that takes place in High Point, North Carolina. It is the largest home furnishings industry trade show in the world, attracting around 75,000 attendees, including buyers, interior designers, manufacturers, and sellers from over 100 countries. The market covers an extensive range of products including furniture, accessories, lighting, art, and more, showcasing the latest trends and innovations in the home furnishings industry. It features thousands of exhibitors spread out over 11.5 million square feet of showroom space across multiple buildings and complexes in the High Point area. The event is not open to the general public, catering instead to professionals within the furniture industry, including retailers, buyers, designers, and architects, who come to source new products, get inspiration, and spot future trends. Why Are They Selling At Auction? The nature of HPMKT is that the majority of these exhibitors do not reside in High Point full time. They rent their space for market, bring in their merchandise, set-up, then remove their goods and ship their showrooms back home. This is not cost effective for the vendors. So Furniture Market Auctions along with The IMS High Point offer a unique solution that allows them to move their samples at our facility at the end of Market at which point we will offer them for sale to the public via auction.
