Are you facing a move, and have you identified some furniture that you no longer need? Or are you simply tired of the old chest of drawers inherited from your grandmother and would like to change it for something more modern? If you want to avoid resorting to the classic second-hand market, an excellent way to get rid of unwanted furniture is to sell it to used furniture buyers in Dubai. This article will explain how and where to sell used furniture online. We will start from the preparation phase of your advert and end with a list of the best sites for selling used furniture.

What to do before selling used furniture online

Before selling your used furniture online, you will have to carry out some operations that will allow you to promote best what you want to sell:

Clean and tidy

Dirty and dusty furniture could be more inviting in the eyes of used furniture buyers. Equip yourself with a cloth and unique products to clean them from top to bottom and present them at their best.

Take great photos

We are sure that, when you want to buy a product online, before proceeding with the purchase, you carefully look at the available photos to understand how it is made and if it meets your tastes. Potential buyers of your furniture will also want to do the same, so grab your smartphone or a camera and take photos of the furniture you want to sell. Photograph each piece of furniture yourself. Often, sites where you can sell used furniture online allow you to upload adverts for individual pieces of furniture (unless it is a set, such as a pair of bedside tables).

Make sure you take photos of all sides of the furniture, possibly highlighting the advantages (some unique and particular details) and any defects (those interested in the furniture should be made aware of any scratches and dents before purchasing).

In the photos, each piece of furniture must be well-lit. If you are selling an item such as a wardrobe or chest of drawers, remember to photograph the interior.

Set a price

You will have to consider the price you want to sell your used furniture. To avoid giving a reasonable amount of figures, we suggest you browse the internet to see how much a piece of furniture is similar to yours but new and is selling for. The selling price of your used furniture can be between 30% and 40% of the cost of the new one.

Determine your payment method.

How do you want to get paid?

• In cash: This payment method can only take place if the furniture is delivered in person; therefore, if you deliver it to the buyer, or if he comes to collect it from you.
• Via PayPal: Some platforms for selling used furniture online allow users to make payments via PayPal. In this case, you will need to open your own PayPal account.

1. Prepare a detailed description.

Prepare a description of each piece of furniture you want to sell. Remember to specify:

• Measures
• The materials it is made of
• The merits
• The state it is in: is there any damage? Does it have any defects?

The description does not need to be very long, but it must contain all the essential details a customer might be interested in.
