As Australia's #1 marketplace for pre-owned luxury pieces, we make selling simple. Whether you're in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane or anywhere in between, submit your items online for a professional valuation. We leverage 20 years of expertise as a highly curated marketplace to find the right buyer for your designer furniture.

HFOC is a premier online marketplace supported by a physical logistics hub at 39 Bourke Rd, Alexandria. This hybrid model enables us to offer premium-quality designer furniture Australia-wide without the traditional retail price tag.

Absolutely. Authenticity is our North Star. Every piece from B&B Italia, Herman Miller, or Cassina undergoes inspection by our experts. We deal exclusively in genuine designer items, ensuring our clients receive the quality and heritage they expect from the world's leading design houses.

Consignment is the practice of placing goods in another's hands while retaining ownership until the goods are sold, similar to how auction houses operate.

We specialise in contemporary, high-end designer furniture, and occasionally vintage or collectable pieces.

If an item is contemporary in style, of good quality, and with enduring design, it will generally find a buyer. It's all about the photos and finding the correct price.

Consignment is a simple and secure way to sell your furniture. You won’t need to worry about marketing, advertising, or waiting at home for potential buyers, and you can avoid the hassle of spam. Private sales can feel intrusive and may not attract enough interest to secure the best price or sell your items quickly.

With over 20 years of trusted experience, we know how to effectively market and sell your furniture online, often resulting in higher selling prices than private sales or auctions.

Our business would not function without the unique, high-quality, and well-maintained merchandise we receive from our consignment vendors.

We receive ex-display items from commercial vendors and are offered furniture from some of the country’s finest private homes. Just because it doesn’t work in your home doesn’t mean someone else won’t be thrilled with it in theirs.

HFOC operates primarily as an online marketplace to provide the best value to our clients. However, we do offer scheduled appointments for specific items. Please contact our team to arrange a viewing of a particular piece.

We offer a white-glove, end-to-end service. Simply submit your items via our website form for evaluation. If suitable for consignment, we'll schedule an inspection appointment, agree on pricing in writing, and email you a contract for signature. Once the terms are accepted, we handle everything—photography, marketing, storage, and delivery. It's a seamless way to sell luxury furniture without the hassle of managing public marketplaces yourself.

To be saleable in our curated online marketplace, the merchandise must be in good to like-new condition. On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the best, we look for pieces rated 8 or higher.

Once an item is accepted for consignment, an appointment is arranged, whenever possible, for our product specialists to capture high-resolution in situ photos suitable for our website, social media and other marketing.

We arrange all logistics with our selected professional removalists. Items must be professionally cleaned before listing—we can recommend trusted vendors if needed. Once we've found a buyer, we coordinate collection and delivery of your furniture to its new home.

Whilst our logistics hub is in Alexandria, Sydney, we regularly arrange professional, high-care transport to Melbourne, Brisbane, and beyond. We ensure delicate pieces—glass tables, modular sofas, and more—arrive in impeccable condition.

Our pricing formula takes into account the condition, quality of construction, manufacturer, original purchase price, style, colour and demand for the item.

Priced too high, the item won’t sell. Priced too low, it is unfair to the consignment vendor. Our experience and knowledge of the market help us price fairly for both buyers and sellers.

We are experts in the online resale business. Our pricing reflects current market trends and resale standards. Competitive pricing is in both our consignor’s and our shop’s best interests and discourages negotiation.

Merchandise is consigned to HFOC for a 45-day period; however, we have found that 65% of our inventory sells within the first month.

Within 30 days of the sale's completion, HFOC will pay the vendor via EFT. This will be the agreed net price under the contract, less any agreed costs such as transport and cleaning.

Yes. We offer professional furniture transport services through our delivery partners across all Australian capital cities and in many regional areas.

In addition, we work with trusted carriers that deliver internationally. We have shipped purchases to clients as far afield as New York, Singapore and New Zealand.

HFOC uses reputable local removal companies for pickup and delivery services.

They usually have flexible schedules and offer competitive rates. In general, the rates are approximately:

2x men and a truck are $120 per hour
1x man and a utility vehicle are $60 per hour

Any toll charges may be passed on at cost.

We require goods to be collected/delivered within 7 days of purchase.

Storage fees will accrue $50 per week per uncollected item after this period. Longer-term storage can be arranged by agreement.

Items that are priced right and are desirable sell.

If your items have not sold within the first 21 days of the contract, HFOC will discount the price of the goods for the remaining term of the contract, in consultation with the vendor.

Any items that have not sold within the 45-day period can be picked up, discounted for clearance, or sent to auction.

As we sell items on behalf of private consignors, all sales are final. We provide detailed condition reports and high-resolution photography to ensure complete transparency before purchase. We encourage buyers to review all specifications carefully—much like one would at a fine art auction.

Yes. Home Furniture on Consignment (HFOC) is an Australian-owned and operated company, and hfoc.com.au is an Australian-based website.

Setting up an account with HFOC is easy: register using the customer account link in the top-right corner of the page. If you have registered with Shopify before, your account is already set up.

We do not offer trade discounts because we enter into contracts with our vendors that assure them a fixed amount upon the successful sale of the item, and we are unable to accommodate tiered pricing.
