How to Sell Used Furniture Online

The Internet is a popular place to sell used furniture. Doing so allows you to reach a larger number of people than if you would just advertise in a local newspaper. Posting your furniture for sale online is also free.

• Post the used furniture for sale on social networks sites such as Facebook or MySpace. These sites allow you to post pictures and descriptions that can be viewed by people on your "Friends List." These sites also have "For Sale" pages or "Community Sale" pages that have been created by other users. These pages are created so people can post items they have for sale on the page and allow them to be seen by people who may be members of the social network but are not on their "Friends List."


• Place an ad on classified websites such as Hoobly or Craigslist. Take pictures of the used furniture you are selling, and upload them to your listing. Include information about the condition of the furniture, price and where it can be picked up. You should also specify whether you are willing to deliver or help load the furniture if it is purchased.


• Create an account on the FurniTrader website. This site connects furniture sellers and buyers and is a furniture-only sale site. Customers can search for used furniture in their area, and sellers can rest assured that their ads are seen by a large number of people. Conversations between the buyer and seller can take place on the site, or you can post contact information and be contacted directly.
