Online second hand furniture marketplaces:
6. Craigslist
For many, Craigslist remains the place to find good bargains on used furniture. Since its launch in 1995, the site has barely changed its look. However, because of its vast number of daily users and no-frills listing function, this site attracts many used furniture sellers and buyers every day.
You can find great used furniture deals on Craigslist. Most furniture, including couches, dining tables, and chairs, can be had for a steal if you know where/how to look. You can search Craigslist for deals by city, region, or condition.
Craigslist serves as a platform for posting used furniture for sale by owner information, and leaves bargaining and negotiating to the sellers and buyers themselves. They do not vet furniture pieces listed on their site. Buyers need to conduct their own due diligence.
7. Amazon
Amazon sells a wide selection of furniture on its site. Many may not know that Amazon also sells used furniture. Simply filter by “Used” condition to start your search. Amazon shows two prices: brand new and “Save with Used”.
8. Facebook Marketplace
The Facebook Marketplace is a one-stop-shop for used furniture, appliances, and other household items. But unlike other online marketplaces, such as Amazon, Facebook Marketplace offers a unique experience where users can interact with the seller and ask questions about the product. This allows users to get a better feel for the product and make a more informed purchase decision.
The Facebook Marketplace is super easy to use. You can search locally and filter down by many categories (a function that Craigslist lacks). All users (buyers and sellers) have to have a Facebook account. Given that people’s profiles are attached to their listings, this adds a level of security above and beyond what you get by blindly trusting a stranger on Craigslist.
And the Facebook Marketplace is completely free!
