How to find cheap furniture on Wallapop

Do you want to renovate any room in your home or change the style of your furniture? This can be stressful if you have to stick to a budget. A practical option for this is to use an app like Wallapop and get cheaper second-hand furniture.

Have you already taken a look at Wallapop's deco section? You will see that it is not so easy to find bargains since there are thousands of options. But don't worry, there are tricks you can apply to get what you want at the best price.

Use price filters to find deco offers

The first option to find cheap furniture that fits your budget is to use the Wallapop filters.

Once you have established that you are looking for products within the “Home and Garden” category specify what is the price range that interests youlook at the results. You just move the slider to determine the price and you're done. And of course, you can change it at any time.

This is the first step, since with a single click you will discard the offers that are above your budget.

Search for products that urgently sell!

If the seller wants to get rid of the product as soon as possible (for example, by moving), they may be willing to negotiate the price.

So you can use this filter to cget a price reduction and get cheap furniture. If you are searching from the web version of Wallapop you will see that when you search, different filters appear, including Extras, as you see in the image:

And from there you can specify to display the products marked as Urgent Sell. So in the search results you will not only have products that respect the price you have set, but also those marked as “Urgent” (yellow label with a little stripe).

On the other hand, a detail to keep in mind is that not all sellers choose to pay an additional fee to Wallapop to differentiate themselves from the other offers with this label. Most resort to the trick of a lifetime: write Urge! or similar words in the product description.

So try different combinations of keywords in the search engine to find these products. For example

+ Urgent
+ Moving Sale
+ Clearance , , etc
+ Urgent sale

And if you are not looking for a particular piece of furniture, then choose the category “Home and garden” and use only the words that denote urgency to sell.

Set search alerts so you don't miss the best price

If you have already taken a look at all the available options and they do not convince you, don't worry, and activate plan B.

Leave Wallapop for now but activate an alert so that the app will notify you when offers that match your search appear. The process is simple.

First save your search as you see in the image,
Go to your profile, choose the gear wheel to go to Settings >> Notifications >> My searches >> Search alerts. Select this option and you will receive a notification with each new published product that respects your search filters

We already know that good deals disappear quickly, but if you apply this trick you won't miss any opportunity.

Receive alerts when a product drops in price

If you have found the furniture you are looking for but it does not fit your budget, do not despair, there may still be possibilities of getting it at a lower price. When a long time passes and a product doesn't sell, sellers tend to lower the price.

So if you like that two-seater sofa or that collection table, don't discard them. Save them in favorites and then go to Settings >> Notifications >> My Favorites >> Price drops.In this way, you will receive a notification if the product changes in price.

Sales Season

A detail to take into account if you want to get deco offers is the season or seasonality. Although in Wallapop you will find options all year round, you can take advantage of the seasonal changes to get better prices.

Just like with clothes, people want to renew their environments when a new season arrives and they get rid of the furniture of the old decoration. And the same happens at key moments of the year, such as the return of the holidays when families already organize themselves for working life and the children return to school.

This causes many more offers than usual and at cheaper prices. So March or September could be the ideal months to look for cheap furniture.

And of course, don't forget to take precautions and pay close attention to avoid falling into traps.Take a look at the evaluations, do not trust yourself if the product has almost no photographs or they are of very poor quality. And above all, have common sense, never trust products that are extremely low.
