That $200 dream? Super common. But here’s the reality you might not have considered.
Everyone thinks their sofa is “still in good condition.” Maybe it is. But buyers don’t want good — they want new or dirt cheap.
Your $200 leather couch? It’s now sitting next to someone else’s free-delivery IKEA set. And even that one isn’t moving fast.
In Singapore, bulky furniture resale is tricky. People don’t just buy sofas. They buy convenience. They buy peace of mind. And a sofa that’s slightly worn, missing legs, or needs self-collection? Next!
Let’s be honest: if you’ve ever scrolled through Carousell or Facebook Marketplace, you know the struggle. Here’s what buyers actually see when they land on your listing:
Bulky item = Transport headache – who wants to rent a van just to pick up your sofa?
Worn spots = Hygiene uncertainty – buyers worry about stains, dust, or pests.
Missing legs or parts = Additional cost – suddenly your sofa isn’t $200 anymore; it’s $200 + fix.
“Self-collect only” = Too much effort – the convenience factor is gone.
Even a perfectly good sofa can get buried in listings. Buyers are selective, and honestly, they scroll fast.
The resale market in Singapore is saturated. Everyone wants cheap furniture or free delivery. And buyers are savvy. Even if your sofa looks “nice,” they’re comparing:
New IKEA sets under $300
Clearance sales from furniture stores
Other secondhand listings with free delivery
That’s why many homeowners eventually choose professional bulky furniture disposal services instead of waiting weeks for a buyer.

What Types of Sofas Do We Take?
At Junk Value SG, we handle all kinds of bulky sofas and furniture, including:
Old leather & fabric sofas
Recliners
L-shaped and 3-seater sofas
Sofas from HDBs, condos, and even walk-up apartments
No matter the size, shape, or condition, our professional team will remove it efficiently and safely.
Before listing your sofa online, ask yourself these questions:
Is it clean and stain-free?
Can transport be easily arranged for the buyer?
Will it realistically sell within 48 hours?
If the answer is “probably not,” it may be time to cut your losses and clear the space.
The longer a sofa sits in your living room, the more it takes up space and adds stress. Fast removal is often the smartest choice.
Listing a sofa can feel like a game of chance:
List → Wait → Negotiate → Ghosted → Repeat
Or, with Junk Value:
Book → Clear → Done → Move on
Many Singapore homeowners underestimate how challenging sofa disposal can be:
Heavy lifting – Sofas are bulky, awkward, and often require two or more people to move safely.
Transport logistics – Not everyone owns a van or can navigate narrow corridors.
Time wasted – Listing online, responding to buyers, negotiating, and coordinating collection can take days — or even weeks.
With a professional service like Junk Value SG, all of this is handled for you. You save time, energy, and stress while ensuring your sofa is removed safely and legally.
We know Singapore homeowners worry about costs. That’s why our quotes are clear and upfront. You’ll never face hidden fees or surprises at pickup.

Beds, mattresses, and wardrobes
