Furniture is the hardest thing to store and the easiest thing to sell locally, because the buyer comes to you. List your sofa, bed, wardrobe, dining set or study table free on Olditems and deal directly with people in your own city — no dealer margin, no commission.
This guide covers measuring, photographing and describing furniture so buyers turn up ready to buy, and how to handle pickup day. The live price table below shows what similar furniture is currently listed for.
Photograph in a tidy, well-lit room from multiple angles, and close-ups of any wear. Include dimensions in the description — it answers the most common question.
Check similar listings in your city and price according to the material, size and condition. Stating the material and dimensions clearly helps buyers compare.
Add a clear title (brand + model helps), an honest description and your city. Your furniture ad goes live immediately.
Reply to buyers, meet in a safe public place, and get paid in cash or UPI at handover.
The first question every buyer asks. Answering it in advance saves a whole exchange of messages.
A bed or wardrobe that comes apart reaches far more buyers, because it fits through more doors and lifts.
Buyers price the pickup before they contact you. Surprises on the day cancel deals.
Flaws shown up front stop the doorstep renegotiation.

Dimensions are the single most requested detail in furniture ads, and leaving them out costs you enquiries. Measure length, width and height in inches or centimetres and put them in the description. Also note whether the piece dismantles, because a bed or wardrobe that comes apart is far easier — and cheaper — for a buyer to move, and that widens your market considerably.
State the material, the dimensions, the approximate age, whether it dismantles, and any damage. Name your locality, the floor you live on and whether there is a lift — a buyer planning transport needs to know all three before they commit. Being upfront about a third-floor walk-up saves you a cancelled pickup.
Compact, dismantlable pieces in neutral finishes move quickest, because they fit more homes and more lifts. Solid wood holds value well and is worth stating plainly in the title. Mattresses are the hardest item to sell second hand — many buyers prefer to take just the frame, so consider listing the bed frame separately.

Yes. Posting an ad is free and there is no commission when it sells, because the buyer pays you directly. You keep the full amount you agree.
Normally the buyer, and it is worth agreeing this before you settle the price. Mention your floor and whether there is a lift in the ad, so buyers can plan and price the pickup before they contact you.
Dimensions, material, approximate age, whether the piece dismantles, any damage, and your locality and floor. Dimensions and material are the two things buyers ask about most, so putting them in the ad saves a round of messages.
Compare with current listings for similar pieces in the same material and size rather than with what you originally paid. Solid wood holds its value better than engineered board, and a piece that dismantles is worth more because it is easier to move.
You can list one, but mattresses are the slowest-selling furniture item because many buyers prefer a new one for hygiene. Clean photos, the age and an honest note on any sagging or stains help. Listing the bed frame on its own often sells faster.
