STEP 3:
Take the old furniture to an auction. You can easily sell of your office furniture at an auction sale. Auction houses often sell off large lots of old office furniture to the highest bidder. You will be required to pay a fee to the auctioneer, but you'll be guaranteed to sell your old office furniture.

Nearly everyone has an office space at home that needs furnishing or updating with higher-quality furniture. Or perhaps your staff knows someone who has been looking for used office furniture. Send out an email to everyone close to you listing the old office furniture you have for sale. You'll definitely reel in a few interested buyers. And selling your old office furniture privately like this will eliminate the need to pay fees to other sellers, maximizing your profits from the sale of your used office furniture.
