You may not know the best way to sell furniture if you aren't aware of the best techniques. Below is a helpful guide:
With a bit of cleaning and refurbishing (if necessary), give the old furniture a new shine. Taking different shots from different angles will give potential buyers a better idea of the size, color, and details of the furniture you're selling.
Your friends and family can help spread the word about your sale if you let them know. Post a few flyers, use social media to your advantage, and/or use newspaper classifieds to get buyers' attention.
Make sure the furniture can be seen in person before the buyer makes a decision. They will likely negotiate the cost after that. Come to an agreement on the sales price. After that, the bill of sale can be signed.
