Where can I sell nice furniture

26 replies

I am unexpectedly moving abroad and have quite few moderately expensive furniture pieces to sell and an expensive American fridge freezer that is only 2 years old. All the furniture is in immaculate condition hence I am reluctant to use Facebook marketplace as I won’t even get a third of the price I paid for it on there. Does anyone know of any other websites or perhaps companies I can use? Maybe some home staging companies ? Thanks

You're looking at this from a "seller's" perspective and your opinion is clouded by how much you paid for it initially.

Think about something you would like to buy, look it up on second hand websites, and really think about how much you would pay for it. Just for fun, to see it from the "buyer's" POV.

My fridge freezer is 2/3 of the size of those American ones (because it's tall) and I bought it for £700 brand new — and it came with warranty, which we have actually had to use. Buying second hand means you're risking losing your money if something goes wrong. If the fridge is damaged in transit, are you going to refund your buyers? Thought not Xmas Wink

American fridge freezers are also notoriously difficult to get rid of once they're dead, the normal shops won't take it away when they deliver your new one. So that's something a potential buyer has to consider too.
