San Diego is the latest West Coast market for Kaiyo's services for buying and selling pre-owned furniture.

Kaiyo, a second-hand furniture marketplace is expanding its services to San Diego County. The New York City-based startup offers a full-service platform and white-glove delivery that doesn’t require lugging your furniture to a parking lot to sell it to a stranger.For people selling furniture, they submit it to the Kaiyo team for inspection. Once it is accepted, the seller can schedule the item to be picked up, cleaned, professionally photographed and stored by Kaiyo all for free.

“Furniture is one of the largest waste categories in the U.S., meaning millions of pounds of furniture ends up in landfills each year. In addition, there is virtually no recycling for used furniture,” Koralturk said in a press release. “Expanding into San Diego allows us to further our mission.” Koralturk said the company saw a shift in demand early in the pandemic for office items as people adapted to working from home and had a hard time getting furniture due to supply chain issues.

The current do-it-yourself options for re-selling anything big or small include eBay, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace or Offer Up.
