Determining the best price to sell your furniture is not easy. You cannot sell furniture at market value, but you also don’t want to lose money, because a bargain can save you something. So, by evaluating your used furniture, you will know whether or not it is worth selling. This article will help you learn how to value used furniture.

Steps

1. 1 Decide on the style of your furniture.
   • Depending on the style of the furniture, you can sell it for a decent price. Accordingly, if your furniture is already out of fashion, it will be difficult for you to get the money you want for it.
   • Antique and retro furniture is always highly valued, so you can sell such furniture very profitably.
   • Simple and neutral styles will always be appreciated as such furniture can go with any décor.Therefore, you can sell such furniture for a price slightly above average.
2. 2 Determine the size of your piece of furniture.
   • It is much easier to sell smaller pieces of furniture as there are no problems with transportation. Smaller pieces of furniture are also suitable for a small space, such as an apartment. So, you can win a little by selling small pieces of furniture.
   • Large pieces of furniture are reluctant to buy if they are already second-hand. The buyer will have to pay extra money for transportation. Large pieces of furniture are not suitable for all apartments. Keep this in mind when evaluating these pieces of furniture.
3. 3 Determine the quality of your used furniture.
   • Look at a piece of furniture and imagine what a potential buyer would think looking at that piece of furniture. Is it practical? Is it comfortable? Is it falling apart? The more attractive your furniture looks, the more money you can get for it.
   • The condition of the furniture is much more important than many of the clever gadgets it contains. For example, plain furniture in good condition will sell better than antique furniture in poor condition.
4. 4 See how much similar furniture costs on the market. It is best to set the price of your furniture at 20 to 30 percent of the market value of the same but new furniture.

Tips

• Ask your friends and acquaintances if they would buy your used furniture for the price you want to get. If they tell you they wouldn't buy or would buy for a higher price, then find out why and reconsider the price of the furniture.
