Tips for Selling Furniture
How to photograph, price, and sell your furniture quickly on Ibiza Marketplace.
Taking Great Photos
The first thing buyers see is your photos. Good pictures can make the difference between a quick sale and weeks of waiting. Here is how to photograph furniture effectively:
- Use natural daylight when possible - avoid harsh shadows
- Clear the area around the furniture - less clutter looks better
- Take multiple angles: front, sides, and any details or damage
- Include something for scale if the size is not obvious
Pricing Your Furniture
Pricing can be tricky. Here are some guidelines:
- Research similar items on the marketplace to gauge prices
- Used furniture typically sells for 30-50% of the original price
- Be honest about condition - price accordingly for any damage
- Leave room for negotiation - most buyers will try to haggle
Writing a Good Description
Include these details in your listing:
- Exact dimensions (height, width, depth)
- Material (wood, metal, fabric, etc.)
- Age and brand if known
- Any flaws or damage - honesty builds trust
- Reason for selling (optional but can help)
