Key points

  • First decide: usable furniture or scrap? It changes how it is valued.
  • Photos of each piece, plus floor and lift details, get you a quick answer.
  • Ask whether dismantling and carrying are included.
  • Clear furniture a few days before a move, not on moving day.

Usable furniture or scrap?

A solid wooden dining set, a branded steel almirah in good condition or a sofa that only needs new covers has value as furniture. A swollen particle-board wardrobe or a broken bed frame is valued for its material — mainly metal.

A good buyer tells you which category each piece falls into. Be wary of anyone who prices everything as scrap without looking.

Get a quick answer with photos

One photo of each piece, one close-up of any brand label and any damage, and a note of the floor and whether there is a lift. That is enough for a buyer to say what they can do before visiting.

Check what is included

Dismantling beds and wardrobes, carrying down the stairs and loading should be part of the deal when the buyer is purchasing. Confirm it on the phone so there are no surprises on the day.

Timing around a move

If you are shifting, clear the furniture you are not taking two or three days before the packers. You avoid paying to move it, and the packers have room to work.

Questions

Can I sell just one almirah?

Yes. Single pieces are fine — send a photo first.

Who buys old sofas in Delhi?

Used furniture buyers and scrap buyers both do. Worn sofas are generally bought for their frame and springs.
