Sell your stuff in Pittsburgh
Clearing a house, downsizing, or just tired of a chair you no longer look at? List it here, agree a price in chat, and hand it over in person. No commission, no shipping labels, no listing fees, and no stranger turning up unannounced — you choose who you meet and when.
How to sell locally, step by step
Photograph it properly
Take three to ten photos in daylight: the whole piece, any flaw, the underside or the back, and a close-up of the detail that makes it worth buying. Plain background, no flash. Photos are the only images on your listing, so they do the selling.
Write down what you know
Maker, material, approximate age, and every flaw you can see. Buyers in Pittsburgh will drive across town for the right piece, but only once — being straight about a chipped edge costs you nothing and saves you a wasted afternoon.
Set a price you would accept
Look at what similar pieces sell for locally rather than what a dealer lists them at. Our AI assist suggests a range from comparable listings if you want a starting point, but you set the final number.
Publish and answer messages
New listings are checked by a moderator before they go live. Once you have a track record you can be marked trusted and your later listings publish instantly.
Meet locally and get paid
Buyers message you through the app. Agree a price in the thread so there is a record, meet somewhere public in daylight, and take payment in person. There is no commission — you keep every dollar.
What sells well here
Solid wood furniture, anything with a maker’s mark, mid-century lighting, hand tools, vintage kitchen ware, records and books, and household pieces that still work. Antiques and vintage do well because buyers on this site are already looking for them. Ordinary modern flat-pack furniture is harder — it sells, but slowly and cheaply.
What it costs
Nothing. There is no commission on a sale, no listing fee and no final-value fee. You agree a price with the buyer, you meet them, and you keep the whole amount. That is the entire business model: a local marketplace where the money stays with the people doing the trading.
Pricing without guesswork
The hardest part of selling is the number. Price too high and the listing sits; too low and you leave money on the table. Our listing assist reads your photos, drafts the title and description, and suggests a price range based on comparable pieces already listed. You can accept it or ignore it — it is a starting point, not a valuation. For antiques specifically, the French furniture guide and the porcelain guide explain the details buyers ask about, which helps you describe your piece accurately.
Staying safe when you sell
Meet in a public place in daylight for anything portable, and have someone with you when a buyer comes to your home for furniture. Never accept a deposit from someone who has not seen the item, and never let a buyer take something away before it is paid for. If anyone behaves badly, report them — reports go to our moderators, who can remove listings and suspend accounts. The full safety tips and the local meetup guide cover it in detail.
