Sell Your Furniture the Hassle-Free Way: Discover 2nd Hand Warehouse's Consignment Service
You've finally decided it's time to clear out that spare room, upgrade your living room suite, or simply declutter after a move. The furniture is in great condition — it just no longer fits your space or style. So what do you do? Post it on Facebook Marketplace and spend the next three weeks fielding lowball offers and no-shows? Or is there a better way?
At 2nd Hand Warehouse, we've built a consignment service designed specifically for Cape Town residents who want to sell their pre-loved furniture and appliances without the stress. Here's everything you need to know.
🚚 We Come to You — Free Collection Within 20km
One of the biggest headaches of selling large furniture is the logistics. How do you get a three-seater sofa or a double-door fridge to a buyer? With 2nd Hand Warehouse, you don't have to worry about that at all.
We offer free collection within a 20km radius. Our team comes to your home, carefully loads your items, and transports them to our warehouse — at no upfront cost to you. Any applicable collection fees are simply deducted from your sales proceeds, meaning you never have to reach into your pocket before your item sells.
All you need to do is make sure your item is clean and in good working condition, note any existing damage (which we'll include honestly in the listing), and we'll handle the rest.
🏬 2 Weeks Free Storage & Showroom Display
Once we've collected your items, they go straight onto our showroom floor — giving them maximum visibility to walk-in customers. But that's just the beginning.
Your items are also listed on:
- ✅ The 2nd Hand Warehouse website (www.2ndhandwarehouse.com)
- ✅ Facebook Marketplace
- ✅ Gumtree
That's multi-channel exposure working for you — all included in your 2 weeks of free storage. You'll even receive a direct link to your item's listing so you can track its progress in real time.
If your item hasn't sold within the initial two-week period, no problem. You can extend your consignment agreement on a week-by-week basis (storage fees apply after the free period), or explore one of several other options — including selling directly to us, arranging collection, or even donating the item.
💰 You Keep 80% of the Sale Price
Here's the part our consignors love most: you set the selling price, and when your item sells, you receive 80% of the total sale amount. We retain just 20% as our commission for handling the collection, storage, listing, marketing, and payment processing.
Compare that to the time, effort, and frustration of managing your own listings — and suddenly 20% feels like a very fair trade.
Payment is made via EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) upon your request, so you're always in control of when you get paid.
📋 The Process Is Simpler Than You Think
Getting started with our consignment service takes just a few minutes. Here's how it works:
- Fill in the online consignment form at 2ndhandwarehouse-sell.co.za
- Receive a valuation — our team will advise on a competitive selling price based on market experience
- We collect your items — free within 20km, no upfront payment required
- We list and market your items across our showroom, website, and social platforms
- You get paid — 80% of the sale price, via EFT, when you request it
It really is that straightforward.
🌿 Selling Second-Hand Is Good for Cape Town
Beyond the personal convenience and financial benefit, there's something genuinely meaningful about choosing the consignment route. Every piece of furniture or appliance that finds a new home through 2nd Hand Warehouse is one less item heading to a landfill.
Cape Town is a city that cares about sustainability, and by choosing to sell — rather than discard — your pre-loved items, you're contributing to a more circular, eco-conscious economy. It's a small act with a real impact.
🤝 A Service Built on Trust
Since launching our consignment service, we've helped hundreds of Cape Town residents successfully sell their furniture and appliances — from single items to full household clearances. Our consignors appreciate the transparency: you know exactly where your items are listed, you receive regular statements, and you're never locked into a long-term agreement.
Our consignment agreement is also non-exclusive — meaning you're free to market your items elsewhere at the same time. If a sale happens through us, our 20% commission applies. If you sell it yourself independently, that's entirely your business.
We also encourage consignors to ensure their items are insured during the consignment period. If you'd like us to arrange insurance or special packaging for delicate items, just let us know before collection.
