How to Sell Used Office Furniture in Dallas

You can use several avenues to sell used office furniture.

The process of selling large items such as office furniture may seem daunting. However, it can be straightforward with adequate preparation. This may involve cleaning and fixing the furniture, taking pictures and advertising. It is also important to spend some time ascertaining the value of each item if you wish to receive a fair price, although you may wish to rid yourself of the furniture items quickly.

Instructions

1. Determine the value of the furniture. Some things to take into consideration are the age of the items, the amount you paid for them and the manufacturer. Search for similar items online, in consignment shops around Dallas or in local newspapers to get an idea of an appropriate selling price.

2. Prepare the furniture. This would involve cleaning it, if necessary, and checking for any missing or broken parts that can be replaced.

3. Advertise your furniture. You can post notices of your sale in some of the local Dallas newspapers, on fliers or online in the Dallas classifieds section of Craigslist.org. You can also attempt to sell your furniture on auction sites like eBay.com. Include pictures of the items where possible so that potential buyers can get a good idea of what the pieces look like.

4. Consider holding a yard sale. According to information on the City of Dallas website, each property may have two garage sales per year and each can last up to three days. Note, however, that you cannot sell property that you bought just for the yard sale.

5. Sell your furniture through a furniture liquidator if you have a large number of pieces and would rather not handle the sale yourself. Furniture liquidators will handle every aspect of the sale for a fee.
