Why Selling Junk Is a Full-Time Job — With Zero Pay

Think selling your old junk on Carousell will be easy? Think again. Here’s why most Singaporeans give up and call in the pros.

“Still Available?” – The Text That Haunts Your Dreams

You’ve finally decided to declutter. You snap a few photos of your faded but functional sofa, write Used but still good,”slap on a $50 price tag, and post it on Carousell.

Then… the flood begins:

  • Still available?” — and the user ghosts you after you reply.

  • Can deliver to Jurong?” — for a $10 side table.

  • “Can test first?” — for a broken washing machine with a frayed cable.

After three days of silence and one no-show meetup, you lower the price to $0 and pray someone will just come and carry it away.

Spoiler: they don’t.


🎯 The Harsh Truth: You’re Not a Seller. You’re a Storage Unit.

You’re not alone. 8 in 10 secondhand listings in Singapore don’t get sold in the first 7 days. Why?

Because it’s not you. It’s your item.

Let’s break it down:

  • 🛋 Old sofas: If it’s not IKEA, stain-free, and under 2 years old, good luck.

  • 📺 Appliances: Must be spotless, working, and ideally under warranty.

  • 📦 Bulky furniture: Low resale demand + high effort = zero buyers.

And if it’s broken, outdated, or heavy? You’ve just entered the Carousell Twilight Zone — where time moves fast, but your item doesn’t.


🚫 When “Free” Still Isn’t Enough

You’d think listing your bulky item for free would help, but even that comes with issues:

  • Nobody has a van.

  • Nobody wants to carry it.

  • Everyone wants delivery.

In fact, more people will ask “can you send it to Woodlands?” than offer to collect it from your void deck.

And you? You’ve wasted hours replying to no one, reorganizing photos, and explaining that yes, the washing machine does switch on… sometimes.


✅ The Smarter Move: Junk It, Don’t Hustle It

Want it gone? Skip the endless back-and-forth and call in professionals who handle:
