Just out of curiosity how does this work from a business perspective? If you're re-selling furniture from another company do you have to secure the ok with them first?

I'm assuming they're not re-selling anything. They're acting as a data aggregator to simplify the product search process to a single site. They then link to the site and, in the case of Amazon, they get money through affiliate programs. Had a similar idea for shoes. Didn't work very hard on it and only made a few pennies before I shut it down.
