AptDeco is a furniture marketplace that handles pickup and delivery in select cities, ideal for urban flippers without a vehicle. Branded furniture like West Elm, CB2 and Room & Board sells well.
Reverb is the specialist marketplace for musical instruments and gear, with price guides based on real transactions. Buyers pay more for gear here than on general marketplaces.
Every marketplace has a different buyer, fee structure and category strength. Furniture sells locally, sneakers go to authentication platforms, vintage clothing to Depop and Poshmark, and almost everything sells on eBay. Most full-time resellers list on 3 to 5 platforms and use a crosslister to keep inventory in sync. Fees change often, so always verify the current fee page before pricing. The deciding factors usually come down to each tool's standout strength (for AptDeco: they handle pickup and delivery; for Reverb: specialist buyers) weighed against its main drawback (limited cities versus music gear only).
