Selling Your Antique Furniture: A Simple Guide

If you're looking to sell your antique furniture, you have a few options to consider. You can list it online, consign it to an auction house, or even try selling it privately. However, each of these methods comes with its own set of challenges and potential drawbacks.

What if Your Furniture Isn't a Fit?

If your furniture doesn't match our current inventory needs, we can still help! We can provide you with valuable information and resources to explore other selling options, such as:

  • Auction Houses: While auctions can offer competitive prices, they also involve various costs, including commission fees, transportation fees, and potential storage fees.

  • Online Marketplaces: Online platforms like eBay or specialized antique marketplaces can be a good option, but be aware of associated fees like listing fees, transaction fees, and shipping costs.

The Challenges of Selling on Facebook Marketplace

While Facebook Marketplace can seem like an easy option, it often comes with its own set of frustrations:

  • Pricing Uncertainty: It's difficult to determine a fair price for your items, and you might end up undervaluing them.

  • Time-Consuming: Managing your listing, responding to inquiries, and dealing with potential buyers can be time-consuming and stressful.

  • Scammers and Time-Wasters: You may encounter scammers, tire-kickers, and people who waste your time with no intention of buying.

  • Constant Inquiries: You'll likely receive a high volume of messages, many of which may not be serious inquiries.

  • Delayed Payments and Collections: Dealing with payment and arranging collection can be a logistical challenge and may involve delays.

Why Choose Us Over Other Options?

  • Convenience: Avoid the hassle of listing items, negotiating with buyers, and handling shipping arrangements.

  • Guaranteed Payment: Receive payment directly from us without any uncertainty.
