Moving in sight: How to sell your furniture in three steps?
You will be moving in a few months, a few weeks, or a few days. You tell yourself that it would be good not to drag around again that old sofa that sags under your weight or that cupboard whose cracked door no longer closes very well.
How to get rid of furniture you no longer want?
Here is our advice on 3 key steps to follow depending on the time frame you have:
1 • Sell your furniture quickly: A good plan
Obviously, this is the most advantageous option for your wallet. If you plan ahead, you will have plenty of time to sell your furniture quickly for hard cash.
Let’s look at your options:
Online ad sites should be tested. If you are used to buying and selling on the Internet, you are familiar with these practices. There is no shortage of possibilities. A photo of your furniture, a catchy text and that’s it.
Lovers of clearance sales and flea markets will see this as a great opportunity to combine business with pleasure. You can also organize a garage sale at your home: in this case, do not forget to send a prior declaration of sale upon unpacking to your town hall at least two weeks before the event.
No time to manage the sale yourself? You can always entrust your property to a consignment store. The advantage is that you won’t have to do anything. On the other hand, if the furniture doesn’t leave, you will end up getting it back and you will therefore always have it on your hands or simply sell it to Scrap Buyers .
2 • Donate your furniture: a nice gesture
Getting rid of your furniture for free is a solution if you are caught off guard or if, decidedly, your old-school desk cannot find a buyer. Take comfort: you are doing something for the planet and will please someone who needs it more than you. You can first go around to your loved ones, family, and friends, to see if anyone is interested. If this is not the case and you are familiar with Internet exchanges, go to sites such as donnons.org and recupe.fr …
Finally, know that many associations will be delighted to welcome your furniture, they will give it a new lease of life and will then distribute it to people in need. Among these, you can contact Emmaüs, Secours Populaire, or the Red Cross.
3 • Throw away your furniture: the last resort
It is not with joy of heart that we resolve to do this but, sometimes, there is no other solution. In this case, of course, remember that the legislation strictly prohibits you from leaving your bulky items on public property. You must head to one of the many recycling centers that dot the French territory. Some of them carry out recovery operations.
Who knows, your old sofa may not be at the end of its life?
