Old Office Chair Sales

Old office chairs can be sold through online platforms and offline channels, with prices varying based on brand, channel, etc.

Online Platforms

• Professional second-hand office furniture service providers: For example, Second Tree Recycling Furniture. These service providers offer one-stop services including buying, selling, recycling, in-depth refurbishment, sales, and leasing. Their inventory may come from well-known companies, providing certain guarantees in terms of quality and after-sales service, and offering a relatively professional trading environment for both buyers and sellers.
• Large e-commerce platforms: Platforms like Xianyu and Zhuanzhuan have a large number of individual sellers and corporate clearance goods. Here, you can find lower-priced employee chairs, such as those priced at around 90 yuan. The selection is wide, and the transaction process is relatively simple, but buyers need to judge the quality of the products and the credibility of the sellers themselves.
• Internet auction platforms: Taking Taobao Auction Platform as an example, it charges a software service fee of 1% of the transaction price to the buyer, with no fees charged before the auction. After the transaction, it charges a commission of 15% of the hammer price to the consignor. If the auction fails, no fees are charged, and the original item is returned. This platform is suitable for buyers who have a certain price expectation and hope to obtain their desired office chairs through bidding.

Offline Channels

• Consignment in physical stores: The industry typically charges a commission rate of 15% to 30% of the selling price. Offline comprehensive consignment stores like Xianyu Recycling Stores adopt a tiered rate structure. Due to the involvement of storage and handling for furniture items, the commission rate usually leans towards the upper limit, with store commissions of 30% to 50% not being uncommon. If services such as door-to-door pickup, storage, and delivery are included, the commission rate of some stores can reach 60%.
• Second-hand furniture markets: For example, Hangzhou Banshan Second-hand Goods Trading Market has merchants specializing in selling second-hand office desks, chairs, partitions, and workstations. Here, you can inspect the products in person and intuitively feel the quality and condition of the office chairs.
