Where do people sell second hand sofas ?

[RosesAreReady]

Where can I buy a second hand sofa online? I’ve searched eBay for months but nothing I like is coming up locally, fb marketplace is full of those scam sofas and even when I write in used sofas that’s what comes up apart from about 3 sofas in the local area again nothing I like. Where do people sell their second hand sofas online (not going to shops) where else can I look?

British Heart Foundation sells furniture online.

Gumtree

Depends on where you are really

nextdoor and facebook local groups

London should add I looked on Gumtree but again it’s full of those scam sofas, same as market place. Will try the other suggestions

There are a lot of places that sell ex-display, returns and so on, which I found through eBay. We used 2PinkFlamingoes a couple of times and got a great sofa bed and armchair from them, as described. It can be quite a local thing though. I started by Googling Loaf seconds, as I knew we couldn’t afford a new one.

I sold my Mum's on gumtree.

I'm surprised you couldn't find any on Ebay. I just searched for 'sofa', then selected nearest to my postcode and ticked the box for 'used;. About 100 sofas were there within 5 miles. (I'm not in London, but a largish town. Did you use a too specific search term like 'secondhand sofa'?

Fb marketplace. There are always loads on mine- have you set your distance parameters too low?

Btw, search for ‘sofa’ not ‘used sofa’

Another vote for British Heart Foundation.
Really good quality and not old fashioned either.

Locally to me you can go to the British Heart Foundation Shop. I think they're good.

I could find loads on eBay but obviously you have to collect them which would most likely involve hiring large van. Did you click on 'by distance'?

Yes I can I said none I like? It’s market place and gumtree I’ve struggled to find many used ones on as too many fake listings

I said none I like or that’s my style local enough to collect as will be paying a man and van so not looking at further than 20 miles due to Cost

If you are in North London, Barnet Furniture Centre is very good: www.barnetfurniturecentre.org/
They are mainly in-store but occasionally have items online. They are a charity and will deliver.

They are on there but it’s brand new ones even when I type in used
