How to Sell Your Used Furniture

Furniture can be a hard thing to sale, especially if you don’t know the best ways to sell it. That’s why we offer a helpful guide below:

1. Take Quality Photos for Ads

Once you give the old furniture a new shine with a bit of cleaning and refurbishing (if necessary), take some quality photos of the furniture. Take shots from different angles to give potential buyers a good idea of the size, color, and details of the furniture that’s up for sale.

2. Post Ads in Local Listings and Websites

You may want to let friends and family know you’re selling so they can help spread the word. Then, post some flyers, use social media to your advantage, and/or use newspaper or online classifieds to attract buyers.

3. Meet With Interested Buyers to Negotiate Price

Allow buyers to see the furniture in person before they decide. Then, they’ll likely try to negotiate the price. Work with them to find an agreed sales price. Then move forward with the bill of sale form.
