Garbage removal from the apartment with movers. How to sell old furniture? Where can I sell old furniture?
Over time, furniture goes out of fashion, wears out or just gets boring. The color may fade, the mechanisms may loosen, the sofa may lose its former softness. Children's furniture quickly becomes unnecessary. Children's beds, chests of drawers, wardrobes, where to put them when the children grow up? The question arises of buying new furniture, at the same time a problem arises: where to put the old one?
For example, in Italy, before the New Year, they get rid of old furniture by simply throwing it out of the windows. Of course, you can throw out worn, boring furniture, but there is a more rational option. Why endure the old, but still quite good furniture to the dump? The best way out is to sell furniture. So you get rid of old furniture, and get an increase in the budget for buying new ones.
How to sell used furniture?
There are a lot of ways to sell used furniture. And to offer it to friends is usually not the most profitable.Most the best way- post an ad. You can place an advertisement for the sale of furniture:
- on the bulletin board;
- in the newspaper of private announcements;
- on private classifieds sites;
- on the Internet on forums in the topics "buy-sell" - especially fast way, if the forum is relevant and popular (for example, you can easily sell a crib on a forum for expectant mothers).
Selling old furniture...
If you want furniture to be bought quickly and without numerous previews, you need to correctly compose an ad and set a suitable price.How to sell furniture quickly?

Greetings! In Soviet times, furniture was bought once and for life. And 10-20 years for a sofa or wardrobe was sincerely considered “childhood”.
The new generation of Russians moves much more often, makes repairs in the apartment and changes the situation. What to do with furniture that doesn't fit in new interior or just bored? Yes, so that for the money and without unnecessary troubles.
Today we will talk about how to sell used furniture quickly. At the same time I will write about how to get rid of an old sofa or wardrobe in other "legal" ways.
"Flea markets" on the Web - perhaps the most reliable and convenient way get money for used furniture. In Russia, there are two large and truly "living" resources: "From hand to hand" and "Avito". In Ukraine, this is OLX (former Slando).
"From hand to hand"
In the section "Furniture, interior, household" I found almost 85,000 ads (all over Russia).
Products can be ranked by quality, date or price of the ad. Filters at the "flea market" are standard: city, price (from and to), condition (new or used), date of creation of the ad, with or without a photo, from a company or from a private owner. There is a convenient keyword search box.
Paid services will help speed up the sale of a bed or office desk:
- Selection yellow on russia.irr.ru will cost 35.4 rubles per ad
- Premium ads appear at the top positions (listed by category and in search results)
According to statistics, they are viewed 8 times more often, and they bring 5 times more responses than standard ones. Premium status can be purchased for 1, 7, 14 or 28 days. For the "Furniture" category, the cost of the service will be 32, 182, 294 and 448 rubles, respectively.
- "Hot Ads" are considered the most effective way publications. Compared to regular ones, they get 15 times more views and 8 times more responses.
"Hot" ads are always displayed at the top of the list - but no more than three in one block. The service can be ordered for 1, 7, 14 or 28 days for 48, 266, 448 and 672 rubles, respectively.
Avito
The offers are conveniently divided into categories (“Beds, sofas and armchairs”, “ Kitchen sets”, “Tables and chairs”, “Cabinets and chests of drawers” and so on). The second visual filter - the largest regions of Russia (Moscow and St. Petersburg) are separated into separate categories.
Paid services on Avito:
- Premium placement - ads "hang" at the top of each page of search results for seven days (this costs from 59 to 1609 rubles)
- VIP ads are published on the page in a separate VIP block (no more than three in one). The price of the service depends on the ad parameters, category and region (from 29 to 689 rubles)
- Highlighting - the ad is marked with a special icon and published on a gold background for 7 days (from 19 to 459 rubles)
- Boosting an ad in the search – the service allows the seller to boost his publication twice on the first page of the search. Once - immediately after payment (from 19 to 459 rubles), the second time - the next day
Other sites for the sale of furniture
"Avito" and "From Hand to Hand" in Russia are the largest and most popular "flea markets". Therefore, it is easier to sell an old sofa or wardrobe here than on other resources. But just in case, I give two more links:
- Junk.no
- Board of free announcements "Furniture Sale"
How to speed up the sale of used furniture online?
Where do they sell old furniture?
- For apartments for rent
- For dachas and something like that
- For temporary furnishing in case of an urgent move
- When there is no money for good new furniture
In all four cases, the decisive argument in favor of the purchase is the low price! Be realistic. Look online at what prices your “competitors” sell old furniture.
Give your furniture a makeover
Before selling (or better - before photographing), the furniture should be put in order. Clean and wipe dust, touch up, polish to a shine and repair all mechanisms. As a rule, furniture is not prepared for restoration.
Select Sales Channels
Try to start with a banal posting ads within walking distance from home. Quite often people refuse to buy overall furniture because of problems with its transportation. And if a nice closet, table or sofa is sold next door - why not take it?
The second option is ads on Avito format sites. Get ready for a flurry of calls with the same questions. And to the top ten "empty" views.
But antique furniture in Moscow is best sold through professional buyers or at auctions.
Option number 2. Sell furniture through specialized stores and warehouses
This method will help out quite a bit (about half the cost for self-selling). But there is much less fuss here. The representative of the “purchase” will come to the house, evaluate the furniture and take it out.
Old furniture in Moscow is accepted even in some consignment stores.
I will show the principle of their work using the example of a discount furniture warehouse store in Moscow kom-dom.ru. Let's say you want to sell an upholstered sofa in good condition.
Action algorithm:
- Send your offer with a photo to the e-mail of the store ( short description, sofa model and actual address)
- After a preliminary assessment, you will be offered two options for implementation: "commission" (70% of the cost with payment within three days after the sale) or "purchase of goods" (negotiated price). Furniture can be brought to the store by yourself. Or order delivery to the future seller (with the services of loaders and assemblers)
Within two months, the fee for storing furniture in the warehouse of the consignment store is not charged. But every month, unsold goods will be discounted.
Option number 3. Give in good hands
If you can’t sell decent furniture, then you can at least earn a “plus to karma”. That is, to give a table or sofa to someone who really needs it.
I offer a list of verified sites where the donation process is "set on stream".
I'll give it away
LiveJournal created specifically for donors. Most often, they give out puppies, clothes and tools. But occasionally comes across and furniture.
On "I'll give it away" I found a decent desk from Ikea, a baby crib, a terrible sofa (the ad honestly says: “C grade condition”), a coffee table and a grandmother’s wardrobe. Every day 2-3 "furniture" offers appear on the site.
"I'll give it away for free" is an excellent option to urgently get rid of unnecessary furniture: free of charge, at a convenient time for you and on a self-delivery basis.
Daru-Dar
The creators of the project decided to bring up a new tradition in Russia: not to throw away unnecessary things, but to give them away. On the site, as a rule, they offer small things such as jewelry, books or toys.
But it was on Daru-Dar that I found an ad in which a friend from Moscow gave away the furniture of an entire apartment for free: two walls, two wardrobes, a kitchen, a sofa-book and a coffee table on wheels. Moreover, judging by the photographs, all the furniture is in good condition and relatively new. Attraction of unprecedented generosity.
I will exchange or give
If it’s a pity to give away furniture “for nothing”, you can try to exchange it for something.
In LiveJournal "I will exchange or give" people trade insulated pantyhose for liquid soap, chocolate for cat chicken, ice skates for the Harry Potter series.
Occasionally come across and "furniture" offers. One thing especially touched me. The girl changed the IKEA wardrobe and a set of children's furniture for pickup and a kilo of tangerine "with an easily removable skin."
Dump Project
Project representatives they take out unnecessary things, sort them, put them in order and sell them at their own flea markets. Unusable items are recycled or disposed of by the project. Dump operates in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Krasnodar, Tomsk, Saratov and Kazan.
The project takes away all things except garbage: clothes, toys, books, dishes. And, of course, furniture and household appliances. According to the creators of "Svalka", by giving away things for free, you make the world a better place. For this, the project pays a symbolic premium of 200-800 rubles.
Sales proceeds are used to pay for the rent of the premises, the salaries of employees and couriers, maintenance of the trading floor and warehouse. And 70% of the remaining profits are the owners
"Dumps" are transferred to the accounts of the Dobro.mail.ru service.
Option number 4. Furniture recycling
There are firms that take out and dispose of old furniture at special landfills.
Service for the customer is paid! total cost depends on the dimensions of the furniture, the price of delivery and the services of movers, as well as the distance from the solid waste landfills. The minimum cost of such services is 1500 rubles.
