anyone know where we can secure this booty?

any part of town (bogota) which is known for these transactions?

or where can we find moving sales?

thank you kindly...

Uh, stores? Any large store like Exito, Carrefour or Home Center will have those things. Bogota is not short on retail opportunities

Moving sales are not something it seems Colombians do, but it might be worth checking with the major embassies if they host anything like that.

El Tiempo classifieds Check the classifieds for articles for sale and on the W/E there is a
Flea Market on Septima very near El Centro de downtown..
Chapinero area on Carracas Ave and 63rd is also a good but inexpensive place to shop for those items.

Buying furniture in Colombia As Manolo suggests you may be able to pick something up in the newpaper. Be aware that alot of stuff that is listed is new furniture some people sell out of their house. And it is more expensive than you going to a regular furniture store. Also as Hollywood suggests moving sales are not all that common in Bogota. I think your best bet is to take a taxi (ask the driver) to the area that specializes in furniture and so on. I found that Exito did not have the best deals on fridges, stoves etc. Many of the taxi drivers know the different areas in Bogota that specialize on different things you may need. And you also get to see alot of the city while shopping.

Happy Hunting
