Craigslist (it still works!), Nextdoor, and Freecycle (Freecycle is for when things weren't selling and I just needed to get rid of them). I hear Facebook Market works but I am not a fan of giving Zuck more $$$ than necessary, so I don't use that platform. You can also try a yard sale/garage sale/whatever you call it in your neck of the woods. Just a note that unless you have super popular designer stuff, furniture dealers aren't buying much these days. Millenials and younger apparently like IKEA because it is disposable. They don't value solid wood furniture and there is very little market for it, or so a few dealers told me.

Made me so sad when we had to liquidate some really beautiful furniture my mom had had for about 70 years. In the end, I sold the bed, nightstand, dresser, cedar chest, and bookshelf (all made in USA in the 1950s, solid pine) for $125 for the whole lot. But $125 was better than zero. I would have taken it myself but had just invested in a 1920s art deco bedroom set myself...
