How to sell second-hand furniture in Ireland
Updated 9 November 2026
Furniture sells on three things: a good photo, exact dimensions and a price that reflects the buyer has to collect it.
Measure everything
Width, depth and height in centimetres, in the ad. Half of all furniture enquiries are “will it fit?” — answer it up front and you get buyers, not questions.
Photos
- Clear the room behind it.
- Shoot in daylight, from slightly above.
- Show any marks close up — it builds trust and avoids a wasted trip.
Price
Second-hand furniture typically sells for a fraction of retail, less for flat-pack. Solid wood, good brands and genuinely good condition hold value. If it is not worth the effort of selling, list it in Free Stuff — it will be gone the same day and you save a skip.
Collection
- Say which floor it is on and whether there is a lift.
- Say whether it comes apart.
- Agree a time and do not hold it for “maybe later” buyers.
