How to profitably get rid of used furniture and household appliances

After a renovation or move, you may still have furniture and appliances that will be useful to someone else and help you make money. I have collected recommendations on how to sell them profitably. The article will also be helpful for owners of broken items: I will tell you where they are accepted for recycling.

How to sell Used furniture and appliances

Old furniture or appliances in good condition can be sold at a profit. The easiest way to do this is on online platforms like Used Furniture Buyers in Dubai, “From Hand to Hand,” and “Mr Secondhand,” because buyers come first searching for used items.

According to mrsecondhand and maxusedfurniture services, the demand for used equipment in March 2023 increased by 16–35%. The range of goods now in stores is not affordable for everyone. If the item you want to sell can still serve its new owner, it will be bought quickly.

Typically, used furniture and appliances are purchased to:

furnish an apartment for rent;

improve the environment in the student dormitory;

temporarily furnish your apartment while there is no money for new things;

take her to the dacha.

Here’s how you can stand out from your competitors and sell your unwanted furniture and appliances faster:

1. Analyze your competitors. Pay attention to the name, price, photo, and description of products in similar advertisements.

2. After analyzing competitors, determine the price for your product. People buy used furniture and appliances mainly because of the low cost. If you are ready to give in, you can set the price 5-10% lower than the average price for a similar product on the Internet.

3. Give the item a marketable appearance. For furniture: wash or clean it, paint if necessary. For household appliances: check that everything works and all components are available.

4. Take high-quality product photographs from different angles and in good lighting.

5. Write an accurate description. Include the main characteristics of the furniture or equipment: what material it is made of, what functions it has, how long it has been used and why you are selling it, whether delivery is possible, and the payment method.

6. On some sites, you can promote ads for a fee. For example, on Avito, there are tariffs for promotion. This can be useful if the item needs to be sold quickly.

When selling on online platforms, reaction speed is essential. The faster you respond to messages and calls from potential buyers, the greater your chances of sell Second hand furniture Dubai and appliances.

Antique stores are another selling option for old furniture in good condition. But only some people are accepted there. Antique furniture is considered at least 100 years old and has cultural, artistic, historical, or material value. If you think you have such furniture, call an appraiser. This service is usually provided at antique stores.

How to recycle furniture and appliances

Appliances

The issue of waste disposal is controlled by the federal law “On Production and Consumption Waste.” According to its terms, all non-hazardous elements of household appliances must be recycled and made into new products.

Unusable household appliances can be removed directly from your home for recycling. Special services, companies, or individuals do this. They may charge money for their services, but some work for free. You can also deliver the equipment to such an organization yourself.
