The Reality of Selling Old Furniture and Appliances

Hard truth: Most used items aren't sellable on short notice.

When homeowners try to sell old furniture and appliances before renovation, Singapore's selective resale market creates challenges.

What might sell:

• Nearly new branded items (Scanteak, King Koil, Castlery)

• Clean pieces from smoke-free homes

• Solid wood furniture under 3 years old

• Working appliances under 5 years old

Hard truth: Most used items aren't sellable on short notice.

Where to try:

• Carousell

• Facebook Marketplace

• Cash Converters

Sellable items may face lowball offers, no-shows and endless negotiations. If renovation starts in 1-2 weeks, trying to sell old furniture and appliances may be risky.

Sell Furniture & Appliances

Furniture with no value:

• Heavy wardrobes and bulky sofas

• Scratched or damaged pieces

• IKEA-style particleboard items

• Stained mattresses

• Items from pet/smoking households

Appliances buyers avoid:

• Anything over 5 years old

• Visibly worn items

• Non-working appliances

Free giveaways often fail because removal costs money - transport, stairs, parking hassles.

FAQs - Sell Furniture & Appliances

Q1: Can I sell my old dining set quickly?

A1: It’s unlikely unless your dining set is made of solid wood and still in excellent condition. Most modern sets with scratches, water stains, or wear don’t attract many buyers.

Q2: What about working but old appliances?

A2: Fridges, washers or appliances over five years old generally have low resale value due to energy efficiency and transport issues. Many buyers prefer newer models with warranty.

You may however try listing at FB marketplace, Carousell or other online avenues with good pics and a reasonable price.

Q3: How much does removal cost?

A3: Disposal fees typically range from $30 to $150 per bulky item, depending on size, weight, access and location. For instance, items that require stair carrying or tight corridor navigation may cost slightly more. Junk Value provides transparent quotes upfront, so you know exactly what to expect before we begin.

Q4: Can you work around my contractor?

A4: Yes, our team frequently coordinates with renovation contractors and interior designers. We can schedule removals before, during, or after renovation works to ensure your site stays clear and compliant with HDB or condo management guidelines.

Q5: Do I need to dismantle furniture?

A5:Our crew handles dismantling, wrapping, and safe removal of bulky furniture such as wardrobes, bed frames, and tables. We bring the right tools and manpower to get the job done efficiently and safely.

Q6: Is same-day removal possible?

A6: Yes — same-day junk removal is available in most parts of Singapore, subject to slot availability. For urgent cases like last-minute handovers or renovation deadlines, contact Junk Value early in the day to secure the earliest pickup window.
