The best place for selling used furniture in NYC
Selling online has never been easier. Facebook, Craigslist and eBay are just a few places where you can upload pictures. Look at similar items and the prices they are fetching. The original article also named Kaiyo as a popular platform; they take a small percentage and handle heavy lifting and transport — useful if you are short on time. Features of any marketplace may have changed since publication.
Chances are you do not have a garage, but you get the idea. With the right license and location, you can sell used furniture in NYC and other items to your neighbours or at a car-boot sale. Get your bargaining hat on.
What items should you sell
Trying to sell everything online requires planning. Large unnecessary items should be at the front of the list: beds, wardrobes and study desks among others. They save money on transport. Games consoles, children’s toys, TVs and laptops can sell quite fast. Clothes you never wear — especially designer pieces — can go too. See decluttering.
Alternatives to selling
A lot of charities and institutions would love unwanted items. The original article named Pickup Please, the Catholic Charities of New York, and others always looking for clothes and other items. Thrift stores may take donations or pay a small amount. Chat with owners about pickup.
- Decluttering and freeing up space in your new home or business is ideal.
- You will make a small amount from the sales, or someone in need will benefit from donations.
