Alternative Online Channels for Selling Vintage and Antique Furniture
Whilst you can use platforms like eBay and Etsy to promote your vintage and antique pieces, it’s important to remember that these sites feature a wide variety of items, ranging from professional sellers to casual resellers of second-hand goods. While these marketplaces offer can offer broad exposure, your unique pieces may get lost in the mix.

Selling at Auction Houses
For antique and vintage dealers, auctions—whether online or offline—can be another sales avenue. However, auction houses typically charge commissions of up to 25%, and there’s always a risk that your items may sell for less than their true value. While auctions can provide great exposure and fast sales, we recommend proceeding with caution to ensure you’re getting the best possible return on your investment.
