KENYA · GUIDE 0768 · EDITION 4.2
Used furniture resale in Kenya
Resell used furniture with honest condition grading and a practical delivery plan.
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE
Fictional resale lot: source four used solid-frame dining chairs and one small table, inspect/clean them and offer the five identified pieces with accurate dimensions and defect photos. Sell only lawfully owned, suitable stock after appropriate assessment; exclude upholstered bedding, antique valuation, structural repair claims, pest-free certification and a guaranteed original brand without evidence. The buyer sees the actual items, not a showroom photograph used to imply new condition.
Who is the first customer?
Households, offices and small accommodation operators.
