There’s no better time than the start of a new year to think about making a clean sweep of your office furniture. What will you do about getting rid of all your used cubicles? San Diego’s city landfill certainly doesn’t need to be the final destination for your old equipment. It’s expected to be completely filled and shut down by 2017!

Fortunately, your panel systems can have a second life – and you can get a little money out of the deal. Of course, if your old furniture is still in decent shape we might be interested in taking a gander at your used cubicles. San Diego is our stomping ground and refurbishing office furniture is one of our specialties. You also have the option of contacting one of the national liquidation companies.

Here’s what you need to do to ensure you get a good deal:

• Document what you are selling – without an accurate inventory, you won’t be able to determine a fair asking price.
• Be honest about the condition your cubes are in. Age and the amount of actual wear & tear affect the value of your used equipment.
• Don’t settle for the first quote you receive. It doesn’t take much effort to contact several liquidators instead of just one.
• Remember to discuss tax implications with your accounting department before you make a deal to sell your old furniture.
