dddave Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Not in Pattaya but I have used "Facebook Marketplace" successfully to sell a number of household and photographic items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't suggest this place unless you are desperate. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And anything decent with no or a low reserve price is often sold before it can even get to auction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are other second hand type shops dotted around town that sell old Japanese furniture and toys and stuff that must come in in a container or something. One on Sukhumvit, sea side next to Por Pramung restaurant, just before Hwy 36 junction heading North, another on Hwy 36 heading SE next to Banglamung Soi 43, before the Shell Station. These shops seem to come and go a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other ones are bahtsold and Craigslist. All 3 seem good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guderian Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 If you look, there are second-hand fittings and furniture places around. If you know Soi Kopai (Thepprasit Soi 6), then about halfway along it on the east side there's a big place. Hard to describe, it's just a warehouse with stacks of old stuff inside and out. I looked in there years ago and it all seemed a bit tatty to me, though the Thais probably regard it as 'slightly-soiled' from a pricing perspective. Best to take a Thai friend with you.

thaiclan Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Bahtsold is a good online option, also the Carousell app is growing here in Thailand. I used it dozens of times in Singapore and was waiting for its arrival in Thailand because it is so useful and easy to use. You could also try the local boards in the 'real world'. Downstairs at Big C Extra and outside of Foodland are ones that I know of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The younger owner/manager speaks good English if he is there. I have had him come out and take a few things off my hands at "reasonable" prices which I may otherwise have just thrown away. Show him or one of the staff some pictures and they will usually give you a price there and then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
