We’ve listed a few ways to find new homes for furniture and household items you are ready to part with. We’ve discovered a consignment option which prides itself on stellar customer service by picking up your items to sell, photographing, pricing, advertising, storing and then delivering your sold items to the buyers. All for no out-of-pocket cost to you. The typical Move Loot shoppers are urban professionals between 25 and 45 years old. The most popular items are apartment-sized, selling for less than $1,000 with modern lines.
How it works:
Sellers send pictures and descriptions of the items they want to sell to the folks at Move Loot and suggest a price. MoveLoot determines if they can sell your item, if so, they will they take 50% of the selling price.
How it’s different:
It’s different from traditional furniture consignment stores in that they provide pick ups for sellers [free if the item(s) are valued over $200.] For buyers, they provide free delivery for purchases over $99.
Like other consignment stores, the consignment fee is 50% of the sale price.
It’s different from Craigslist because they provide professional photos, complete measurements and thorough descriptions. Plus you don’t have to field all the inquiries and have strangers come to your house!
