Can I Sell My Broken Sofa in Singapore? (Or Is It Just Junk That Needs to Go?)

💡 Short answer: Probably not.In Singapore, most broken sofas have little to no resale value. Whether it’s torn, stained, sagging, or smells suspiciously like your dog — chances are, you’ll need to junk or dump it, not sell it.

At Junk Value, we’ve seen thousands of sofas in every shape and condition. And here’s the hard truth...

🚫 Why Most Broken Sofas Have Zero Resale Value

Even budget-conscious secondhand buyers in Singapore are picky.Most won’t accept sofas that are:

Torn or saggy
Moldy, stained, or pet-marked
Infested with termites or bedbugs
Too bulky to move or dismantle
Lacking free delivery

If you wouldn’t sit on it, why would someone else pay for it?

Even donation centres like The Salvation Army won’t accept heavily used or damaged sofas. Check their guidelines — they’re stricter than you think.

⚠️ What NOT to Do With a Broken Sofa

Still hoping to make a few bucks or get rid of it fast?Here’s what to avoid in Singapore:

❌ Leaving it at the HDB bin centre – That’s illegal dumping. You could face NEA fines of up to $2,000.
❌ Posting it “free” online – Be ready for last-minute no-shows, lowballers, or ghosting.
❌ Waiting till moving day – This leads to panic and extra stress when the movers won’t touch it.
