There might be lots of reasons why you’d rather buy your home’s furniture secondhand. Perhaps you’ve found vintage and antique furniture to be more sturdy and with higher quality materials. Maybe you love the idea of having something a little different from everyone else. Or maybe you’re just interested in secondhand modern pieces that might come at a steep discount.
Whatever your reasons, digging through the charity shop or hauling around to local estate sales aren’t your only option when it comes to finding great secondhand pieces. These days, some of the best vintage, antique and secondhand deals are ready to buy online—just as easily as the new stuff. You just have to know where to look! Luckily, we’ve done some of the work for you. Here are eight online marketplaces for shopping secondhand furniture, whether you want midcentury modern, ’80s postmodern quirk, or preowned West Elm.
Kaiyo
This startup works like an online consignment store for furniture—sellers submit their furniture to the company, which will clean, store, list, and sell to buyers nationwide. The seller gets a portion of the sales price. For shoppers, this means a great selection of secondhand pieces that have been vetted by the company—plus reasonably priced white-glove delivery. The inventory includes both vintage lines (Henredon and Century) and modern brands (CB2 and Arhaus).
Everything But the House
Like an estate auction—but online—this website offers auction-based finds in all categories of homewares, including furniture. If you happen to live by the site’s Cincinnati warehouse, you’re in luck for free pickup; if not, shipping can be arranged for a fee.
OfferUp
OfferUp connects local buyers and sellers, and there’s lots of secondhand furniture—though the quality (and quantity) of inventory ranges depending on the location. You can communicate with sellers through the app to negotiate prices and arrange pick-up or delivery.
Facebook Marketplace
Hot take: Facebook Marketplace is the new Craigslist. This is one of our first stops when seeking steals on local vintage and secondhand furniture. You’ll need a Facebook account to use it. Make sure to filter your search by location and price range to make it easy to find furniture that fits your budget and style. Once you find pieces you like, save them to your account—it helps the Facebook algorithm learn your style, so the platform suggests similar items.
eBay
Long a giant in the online marketplace world, eBay has a thriving section for secondhand furniture. Most items are available for auction bidding or direct purchase, and there are definite deals to be had if you search. Don’t forget to try slightly misspelled versions of brand names to find under-the-radar picks.
Etsy
This marketplace platform may be best known for handcrafted items, but there’s a robust selection of vintage and antique pieces, too. Just pay attention to shipping costs—some places require asking for a quote before purchasing.
Chairish
Chairish is a curated online marketplace specializing in vintage and used furniture. It offers a wide selection of stylish and high-quality pieces, from mid-century modern to contemporary designs. The platform even has a “Make an Offer” feature, allowing you to negotiate prices.
1stdibs
1stdibs is one of the premium online marketplace for luxe vintage and antique furniture, but don’t expect to find a budget buy here. While the prices may be higher, it’s the go-to destination for collectors and those in search of high-end, hard-to-find, and designer pieces.
