If you're adamant about that, then I guess this largely depends on where you live. Outside of one lucky find in a furniture charity shop I haven't had that luxury, not to mention that you don't get to choose what furniture you're getting there.
America is huge and you might have to drive very far to get that second hand item. Also not everyone has a pickup truck to go get bulky heavy furniture you can't take apart to easily transport to your place. And bedbugs are an issue in some places, especially major cities. It's possible for some but not everyone.
