Does Anyone Know Where I Can Sell My Furniture?

[DerbyTup 10]

Ebay has usually worked for me.  I've sold quite a few items of furniture on there over the years, as my missus has decided she wants a change, from traditional to modern, and modern back to traditional.

 

Having said that, I've struggled to sell a mirror on there recently.  The problem is, I think, it's no ordinary mirror.  You can step into it and enter another world.  Actually, that's not true, but even if it was I doubt it would have sold on Ebay.  It's an Italian Fiam designer mirror.  It's really a piece of modern art.  It's a huge thing, 200cm x105cm.  They retail new at around £2000.   I put it on with a reserve of £500.   I was offered £450 outside of the auction but I declined that because I thought I'd easily get £500 - it wasn't to be!  I shouldn't have been so greedy perhaps?

 

For something like this I think I'd be better putting it on a specialist designer furniture website - but for other furniture Ebay has worked well tbh.

Imagine writing all this just to tell people you don't know that you paid £2,000 for a mirror.

It's very easy to sell unwanted Furniture.

 

Paint it BLACK...And put it on eBay...

 

There are plenty of folks out there who love that kinda stuff..

I’m going to post a reply here for in the style of @DerbyTup for a laugh.....

 

“i would sell it on gumtree - I once sold a lawnmower on there that was broken but someone from Winn gardens still paid me for it - probably because they don’t have a garden. 

 

I also used it once when I was selling a decorative garden piece - when I say that i don’t mean a gnome or anything like that - I mean a real piece of artwork that i had imported from machu pichu - it’s really  stylish - made from Peruvian stone  so you probably wouldn’t know about it. I paid £15k for it and wanted £10k but all the people in Sheffield are really tight so got no buyers - so I put it in my hand built giant redwood shed and will probably take it out one day when I get round to building a Peruvian themed extension to my other garden which is to the left of my large house in dronfield, not the right, that’s my other front garden.

 

would definitely recommend gumtree.”
