Generally, almost everything loses a part of its value once it’s bought. Some items such as cars depreciate faster compared to other valuables. However, there are exceptions to this rule. Vintage pieces such as antique jeweler and designer goods mostly increase in value over time.



This means that if you’re planning to sell your secondhand furniture, it is best to first determine the actual market value of your furniture especially, if it’s vintage. This will help you make the most out of your sale.

A lot of pre-owned furniture usually gets sold at 70-80% of its original price. The three major things you should consider when pricing any secondhand furniture is the quality, usefulness and furniture style.

Sellable used furniture must be of good quality, must still remain functional and must have a style that will be appealing to prospective buyers especially if you will be selling antique furniture. Search for online marketplaces and use this to determine how other pieces of furniture fare within the market.

There are several avenues where you can put up your used furniture for sale, whether online or offline. Online listing places such as Gumtree, eBay and Facebook are great platforms where you can sell your wares online. Second hand stores and thrift shops are also an option if you want to directly sell your furniture to shop owners. They will then sell these to their customers.
