Don't know where you are located, we had fantastic luck on CL in Tucson, particularly in the fall when the snowbirds are arriving. Sold Stickley, Pottery Barn (solid wood), custom mesquite. Here on east coast in MD, much slower CL market.

Today most used,solid wood furniture is selling for relatively little. Including on sights like Chairish. Given the time constraints,I would list on CL and talk to consignment stores in your area.

We’ve had great results selling furniture on Chairish. Most recently, we sold our bedroom set on there and were happily surprised by both how quickly the pieces sold and the price we received. Their delivery service was great each time as well. My only hesitation was that we couldn’t offer the bedroom pieces as a set since I wanted it all to go, but I spoke to them about my concern and they assured me that selling separately was in our best interest, and they were right. They did, however, offer up that we could mention in each listing the other pieces we had for sale, which we did, but they all sold separately. I would have no hesitation using them again and may do so in the near future with our dining room furniture (which I believe can be sold as a set). Hope that’s helpful!

Edited to add that your timeframe of a few weeks could be problematic with Chairish, given the process for payment, scheduling delivery, etc.

Well, I routinely peruse Next-door (where people offer furniture at significantly higher prices, not sure if they sell well), and Offerup, which I find lightyears more pleasant to shop on than CL. But I look at CL as well.

I'm moving in a few weeks. I've had some success with CL. But, I caution you about the scammers. Every time I listed something, I would inevitably get an email offering to buy, send me a certified check and arrange for a mover to come and get it. It's a scam and you can just ignore those responses. Insist on them providing a contact phone number. Then, you can take their measure on the phone. I insist on cash and will not take a certified check. I might take a postal money order, because I know I can get the postal authorities to track them down and put them in jail. Be warned.

I've gotten myself into a situation where I own two very fine antique dining room tables. Given the prices for these types of furniture, I'm having trouble finding someone to sell these. You may end up almost paying someone to take your furniture away. It's a shame, but that's what I am encountering.

Of the places you and others have mentioned, I've only ever used Craigslist for selling large furniture, though most of what I sell isn't super high end (we're not at the point of down-sizing yet). I have bought a few higher end items (antiques) through Craigslist at what I would consider fair prices, though less than what an antique store would charge. My general rule of thumb for buying through Craigslist is I don't pay more for an item than I think I could re-sell it for if I change my mind. I love Craigslist for the simplicity and ease, and have never had a bad experience selling (or buying) items through the site, though as others have mentioned you just have to make sure you ignore the scammers. It's easy to weed them out once you know to expect them anytime you list something of significant value. Just read the page on their site that details typical scams and follow the guidelines to avoid being scammed.

Craigslist didn't work well for my in-laws when they were downsizing a couple of years ago, but they were also on a tight schedule and I thought they were asking WAY too much for their furniture. I listed it for them but didn't have the heart to tell them that it just wasn't worth much in today's market, even though they took great care of it and kept all the original receipts. They eventually donated it because no one was interested at the prices they wanted for it and they ran out of time. If you'd rather get something than nothing, you just need to price it low enough and someone will buy it. If you are selling 80s/90s honey oak furniture, it doesn't matter how nicely its been cared for, the market is saturated with it and realistically you are not going to get much for it. Take a look on your local Craigslist and see what the market is like in your area. Is there a lot of furniture like what you are wanting to sell, and how much are other people asking for it? If your items are priced to sell, they will sell.

humbleandkind's advice to be willing to break up sets is excellent advice for the secondhand market. People are often looking for individual pieces and sets aren't as popular as they used to be, so you'll likely get more for your items if you are open to selling pieces individually. I bought our breakfast table off of Craigslist and it came with chairs I didn't like, so I just re-sold them on Craigslist to 3 different buyers.

Good luck with your move!

Thanks to all of you for the advice, ideas, and feedback on what has or hasn’t worked. Yes, Craigslist always brings the obligatory scam, doesn’t it? I am posting the pieces on there anyway and see what happens. The buyers will take a few things. I have been browsing CL the past few days to see what’s out there. There’s a lot of the 80’s and 90’s stuff out there, but there are a few gems. I actually have my eye on a couple pieces for the new place. Oh, and still a lot of the chalk-painted pieces out there, too.
