Why It's Hard to Sell or Donate Used Furniture in Singapore
“I’ll just sell it online.”“Let me donate it to someone in need.”“This bedframe is still in great condition — surely someone will want it!”
We’ve heard it all. And while those are great intentions, the truth is:
Selling or donating used furniture in Singapore is harder than most people think.
Whether you're moving, downsizing, or clearing out an estate, here’s what you need to know before listing your items on Carousell or calling donation hotlines — and what to do when no one bites.
❌ Most Buyers Want:
Photos that show perfect condition
Accurate measurements
Delivery included
A cheap price (or free)
No damage, dents, or discolouration
If you can’t offer that, you’re likely to get ghosted or haggled down to nothing.
NGOs & Charities Have:
Strict condition requirements
Limited collection capacity
Long waiting lists (2–4 weeks or more)
No acceptance for beds, mattresses, wardrobes, or appliances
Examples of groups people try (with limited success):
Salvation Army
Pass-It-On
Blessings in a Bag
Red Shield Industries
Bring the item down yourself
Wait several days/weeks for pickup
Be responsible for moving logistics
Most sellers or donors realise too late that:
Their lease ends in 3 days
The new sofa is arriving tomorrow
The landlord is threatening fines for leftover items
Condo MCST requires furniture cleared before renovations
