Can I Sell My Old Sofa in Singapore? Here's the Real Deal

You bought it for a fortune. It’s real leather, maybe still comfy, and you think: Surely someone wants this? So you try to sell it. But in Singapore’s secondhand market? That dream usually dies fast.

Let’s break down what really happens when you try to offload a used sofa—and why Junk Value is your best bet when it’s time to dump it.

Tried Selling It? Here's How It Usually Goes

You post your sofa on Carousell, hoping to attract buyers. The ad says: “Good condition! Leather 3-seater, self-collect.” Sounds fair, right?

Then the replies trickle in:

“Can you deliver to Sengkang?”
“Is the leather peeling?”
“Any stains?”
“$10 ok?”

…and then—radio silence.

Even the ones who say “interested” ghost you the minute they see a minor flaw. They want showroom condition for free. And when you suggest they cover transport? They vanish.

It’s frustrating, but it’s common. The resale market for used sofas in Singapore is brutal.

Why No One Wants Your Old Sofa

Here’s why even charities now turn down secondhand sofas:

Strict hygiene regulations
High transport costs
Low resale demand
Storage space constraints

Unless your couch is nearly brand new, it’s likely to end up rejected. That’s why we say: if it’s not worth selling, it’s still worth removing.
