OPTION 3: Sell Your Couch

How is a used couch like a used car? Even if it’s got a lot of miles on it, as long as it’s still in good condition, you can try to sell it. We could all use a little extra cash, and you could even use the money you make on your old couch to help pay for a new one. There are a few ways you can go about trying to sell your used sofa. They’re pretty easy but will require some work on your end.

Craigslist works a lot like the classified section in your local newspaper. You can list your used couch for sale in the furniture section of your city’s Craigslist page. Those who are interested in buying it can contact you directly through the website. This free service is for in-town buying and selling, so you will probably want to meet the person buying your old couch in a public area rather than having them come to your home to pick it up.

OfferUp is a mobile app that works a lot like Craigslist. There are no selling fees or shipping costs, but you will have to make the exchange face-to-face. A great advantage to using this app to sell your old couch is that buyers and sellers are able to review one another, so you’ll be able to see if the person buying your sofa tends to be a good, trustworthy customer.

Facebook Marketplace is another great way to sell your used couch. On Marketplace, you can find local people looking to buy a couch for less than a new one. You can also make the post public so it will be seen by others in your area. You’ll have a better chance of selling your sofa if you keep the price low, upload a nice photo of it, and quickly respond to any messages.

Many times, people have a hard time selling their used items for a price that makes sense to them. If you find this is the case when trying to sell your used sofa, try lowering the price. If you just don’t have any luck finding someone to sell or donate your sofa to, your best bet may just be to hire a junk removal company to help get rid of your old furniture.
