How do I sell furniture?

July 18, 2022

The very best advice is do not procrastinate. Time is money. Complete an entire inventory of the surplus furniture. Have a floor plan of it if possible.

Let the dealers come in and take photos, measurements etc. Most dealers will probably assign a negative or positive value to each item this way they can tell you with honesty if you have a negative value and it will cost you to remove it or a break even or even a positive value so you will be getting a Return on your investment.

Consider anything that can be re purposed for the new office.

Absolutely do not have an employee sale.  They never work out.  You won’t make everyone happy, and it is full of liabilities.

If you have a large quantity of positions, consider breaking it up into categories.  Ie Modular, seating, case goods, filing, conference and training.

If you have something of high value such as Herman Miller Aeron seating use it as leverage do not allow a buyer to purchase the chairs without the modular stations.

Note this is an idea of negative or positive values.

Negative is the cost of disassembly and removal

The following can either be negative or positive:

The condition

The manufacturer

The color

The height

The size

The logistics of the building

A hodge podge or mixed match of items etc.
