Are you trying to declutter before your move? Getting rid of old, unwanted furniture before moving day not only simplifies the relocation process, but it gives you a clean slate when designing the floor plan for your new place. Though there are lots of ways to donate or sell furniture when you move, consignment is one of the best options because it reduces the urgency of unloading your once-treasured goods before the move. If you’re relocating in the Austin-area, consider selling your items at one of these local consignment shops:
1. It’s New to Me
7719 Burnet Road
Austin, Texas 78757
(512) 451-0388
This Austin staple has been around since the 1980s and today displays wares in its tidy 10,000 square-foot showroom just off Burnet and W. Anderson Lane. An agent will work with you to determine a fair sale price for each item; then they’ll cut you a check for 50% of the proceeds once the furniture sells. You can initiate the consignment process by submitting photos of your furniture online, using the submission form provided here.
2. Design with Consignment
3301 Steck Ave., Ste. 100
Austin, TX 78757
(512) 301-9800
Design with Consignment, located on Steck Avenue close to the Lowe’s, offers consignment for high-end furnishings, as well as art, antiques, jewelry, and collectibles. This notable consignor allows you to submit your furniture for consideration via email, through the online form, or by scheduling an in-person consultation. Items accepted for consignment are displayed for 60 days, but many pieces sell within the first three weeks. To get started, see the consignment information page here.
