Hi all. I am leaving Japan next month and trying to get rid of my furniture. I am having some luck with Sayonara sales on fb but I have a sofa and a large bookshelf that one one wants to buy (even for free). I have one person interested in the sofa but they want to have it shipped to them by Yamato and said they would send me the shipping fee by furikomi, which I feel uncomfortable with.
Does anyone know any second hand shops in the Shinjuku area that would take furniture like this to resell? I also dont have a car so I would need someone go come pick up. Thank you!

Why are you uncomfortable with someone transferring you the Yamato shipping fee..? Assuming it’s before you send it, that’s extremely trustworthy on their part (borderline stupidly trusting of you really unless they’re a good friend).
Where you based?
I like to put and add on Yahoo Auctions or similar for 1 yen, with condition that they must come and get the furniture. It has never failed me up to now.
Also try Craigslist. Everytime I post something for free it is gone within a day.
