So, you’re downsizing—or handling a loved one’s estate—and now you’re staring at a massive china cabinet no one wants. (Seriously, why did every relative insist on owning one?) Don’t worry, you have options!
Ways to Rehome That Furniture Without Losing Your Mind
-
Sell It Online – Sites like Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, and OfferUp are full of bargain hunters. Good photos and an honest description go a long way!
-
Auction It Off – CTBids lets you sell items in a secure, online auction setting. We’ll even handle the setup—just sit back and watch the bids roll in!
-
Consignment Shops – Some local stores will sell your furniture for you (and save you the hassle of dealing with flaky buyers).
-
Donate to a Good Cause – Charities like Goodwill, Salvation Army, and Habitat for Humanity ReStores may take that cabinet off your hands—and some even pick up!
-
Try an Auction House – If it’s an antique or high-end piece, a professional auction house might be interested.
-
Call a Junk Removal Service – If it’s beyond saving, let the pros haul it away responsibly.
-
Give It Away – Sometimes, people love "free." Post on community boards, Nextdoor, or just ask around!
-
Check Recycling Centers – Some centers accept large furniture for eco-friendly disposal.
-
Community Connections – Local bulletin boards and neighborhood apps can help find a new home for your furniture.
-
Hire Professional Movers – If you need it out ASAP, movers can transport it to storage, another home, or a donation center.
