At some point in your life you decide to change the style of furniture in your home or you inherit furniture you don’t really have room for or like. The question becomes, what do I do with this gently used furniture? How do I sell it? Will it be a hassle and do I have time to mess with it?

At our Furniture Consignment Store in Austin, we get these question’s quite often. The Con’s on selling your gently used furniture on your own start with taking quality pictures. Then you need to find a good website to post the furniture on such as eBay or Craigslist. And then you need to repost the furniture photos daily to be seen. If not they will fall off the posting page. Another drawback is having potential customers coming by your home to look and feel the furniture. This can be an uncomfortable feeling when strangers come into your home. If and when you think the sale of the furniture will go through, then comes the bargaining and haggling over a better price for the used furniture. This can turn into a situation of upsetting either the buyer or the seller. There have also been recent deceptive ad’s on Craigslist in the national news that has lead to injuries and death.

The best solution would be to consign your furniture. This ends up being less of a hassle to you. Just get the furniture to our store and let Consignment Seekers do all the leg work for you. We will take top quality photos of your gently used furniture. We will clean and touch up the furniture items to help bring the most money. We list the items at the best price to bring the buyers as much money as possible. We will then post them on all the web seller listings and post the furniture on our website. Consignment Seekers will also arrange and display them in our store to make the furniture attractive to all potential buyers. We handle what little bargaining there is and usually the customer understands that if the furniture is in a store, the prices are pretty well set. We then help set up a delivery for the buyers for their new furniture purchase. This usually is a win-win for the seller and the buyer.
