Who buys used office furniture?
Liquidators - Businesses like this one (Office Furniture NYC) are in the practice of buying used office furniture from tenants as they are decommissioning office space. A liquidator is going to offer the best convenience, but not necessarily the highest dollar amount. A liquidator wants to buy your used furniture because we plan to re-sell it. A liquidator should be knowledgeable about the local market for office furniture and should have resources ready to quickly remove and market good quality office furniture.
New Tenant / Landlord - A new tenant moving into your space or your landlord is the party most likely to find the most value from your office furniture exactly as it is. If you can make this deal, it is almost always well worth it for all parties involved. The new tenant can move into fully furnished office space or the landlord can market the space as fully furnished. Also, no one needs to find a dolly or a truck or a tape measure. Everything already fits where it is, so there is no need to KD or move anything. These deals often happen while the new lease is being negotiated, so while this is often the best option for everyone, sometimes the value of the product itself gets lost into the larger negotiation between your landlord and the new firm that is taking the rental space.
Private Sale - This is the dollar maximizing option. If you have the ability to market your furniture to a business that will be taking a new space, and your furniture fits their requirements, you are in a position to maximize the value from your furniture. You can sell the desks, chairs, file cabinets and workstations to a firm that has money ready to spend on that product. You are selling used office furniture to someone with the budget for new office furniture, so both of you can realize a great deal on the transaction.
