Can old furniture be traded for cash? Many people might find it hard to believe, but in the "2013 Xiamen Furniture Shopping Festival," this very idea became a reality. Citizens of Xiamen were able to contact the organizers and have their old furniture evaluated. Based on its condition and value, they received a cash voucher that could be used toward the purchase of new furniture at participating stores in Xiyingmen. This initiative not only made it easier for people to upgrade their homes but also encouraged responsible disposal of old items.
According to local furniture store representatives, the end of the year is typically a busy time for residents to get rid of old furniture and bring in new pieces. To make the process more convenient, the “2013 Xiamen Furniture Shopping Festival†was organized by the Xiamen Municipal Bureau of Commerce, Jimei District Economic and Trade Development Bureau, and co-sponsored by the Xiamen Interior Decoration Association and Xiyingmen Building Materials Furniture Plaza. During the event, many citizens took advantage of the trade-in program, exchanging their old furniture for vouchers. Even after the official end date, some people continued to reach out to the stores to take part in the offer.
“This is a win-win model that benefits both consumers and businesses,†said industry insiders. The old-for-new approach not only helps solve the problem of cluttered homes but also stimulates consumer spending and boosts sales for retailers. Xiao Chen, a representative from one of the participating stores, mentioned that the trade-in program was well-received by customers. He noted that many furniture merchants saw a significant increase in sales compared to previous months.
Xiaochen, the planning manager at Xiyingmen Furniture Plaza, told reporters that the popularity of the trade-in program led to an extension of the event, which was originally scheduled to end on January 13. With more people showing interest, the initiative continued to run smoothly, proving that the idea of trading in old furniture for cash is not just a novelty—it’s a practical and effective solution for both consumers and the retail sector.
