Yeah liquidity is a big one. last I moved out of a house I didn't want to bother finding a buyer for my furniture (probably been worth 500 total max even waiting for someone who wanted to pay) so I ended up putting it in my yard the last day of my lease with a free sign and posted a photo to craiglist, dining table chairs office furniture... And that's the day I learned a 7 foot sleeper sofa can fit comfortably in the back of your standard family minivan
Who wants to spend their last month in their house without a dining table? So the amount of time between making it available and "I need it gone" is very slim indeed
When I moved, I sold some furniture with a local consignment shop [1]. I sent them pictures, and they gave me estimates. They even sent a truck to pick up the furniture, with the transportation cost coming out of the final sale proceeds.
It couldn’t have been simpler, and they mailed me a check when the items finally sold after about a month.
That's a very good option wish I'd thought of that
I recently came across a furniture company that has an interesting offer that anything you buy new from them can be sold back to them (at like 20 cents on the dollar) or you can buy a little cheaper refurbished furniture from them.
