Just got a new sofa which replaces a pair of brown leather sofas. They are still decent but no idea bet place to sell. EBay and gumtree are the obvious choices. But is there anywhere better in the UK? Thanks
I find Gumtree excellent for selling items. I have used Facebook Marketplace too. I’ll warn you now that secondhand sofas do not seem to sell for much at all. Most secondhand sofas I’ve seen on Marketplace are selling for £100 or even for free, unless they are almost new, on trend or grey corner sofas which people seem to love. I suggest you go onto Gumtree, Marketplace etc to research what similar sofas are selling for. This is an example
Another vote for FB Marketplace as that tends to keep it more local. You might find that if you have a van and can provide transport that would help with the sale.
For selling your old ones in the UK, besides eBay and Gumtree, you might also consider Facebook Marketplace. It's a popular platform for buying and selling second-hand items locally.
Another option is to check out local furniture consignment shops or charity shops that accept furniture donations. They may offer a hassle-free way to sell your sofas while also supporting a good cause.
If you're up for a bit of bargaining and want to explore other items as well, you could also try visiting https://sacfleamarkets.com/. Who knows, you might find some hidden treasures while you're at it!
Sadly Facebook Marketplace has become a haven for scammers, usually people saying they’re sending a courier round with the cash as long as you pay for the courier in advance but he never arrives. Nobody buys anything without actually viewing it first and yet people still fall for it…….
