🧾 The Secondary Goods Market in New Jersey: 2025 Snapshot

The resale market in NJ is booming, but also shifting. Here's what we see:

💸 Buyers Are Savvy — and Price-Conscious

With resale platforms like Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, and global auction visibility, today’s buyers are doing their homework. They know if a vintage credenza is overpriced or if a signed print is selling below its national trend.

🧱 Regional Flavor Still Counts

While we track global auction data, New Jersey’s secondary goods market also has its own flavor. Certain categories — like Mid-Century Modern furniture, architectural salvage, tools, and estate jewelry — are especially strong here. Trends in the NY/Philly metro areas often drive local resale values.

📉 Softness in Mass-Market Goods

The secondary goods market is currently saturated with generic furniture, common home goods, and some electronics. If it's not rare or in pristine condition, it tends to sell below original FMV — sometimes significantly so. Knowing this helps us guide clients with realistic expectations.

📈 Upside for Niche & Collectibles

On the flip side, demand remains strong for:

• Vintage design & unique decor

• Fine and listed art (especially regional artists)

• Quality tools and workshop gear

• Vinyl, toys, and memorabilia (nostalgia still sells!)

These items often exceed expectations at both local tag sales and online platforms.

🧠 Why This Matters to Our Clients

At Pink Lady, we believe realistic pricing = successful sales. Overpricing means things sit unsold; underpricing leaves money on the table. Fair Market Value is the sweet spot — and market research is how we get there.

Whether you’re downsizing, liquidating an estate, or just ready to let go of a few pieces, our FMV approach ensures:

• Your items are priced competitively and confidently

• Buyers trust the value and are more likely to purchase

• We’re compliant with legal standards and industry best practices

💬 Final Word from the Pink Lady

Fair Market Value isn’t about the past — it’s about what something is worth right now. And in today’s fast-moving, data-rich resale world, that value changes fast. We keep our eyes on the numbers, so you don’t have to.

So when you see a price tag at one of our sales, know this: it’s not just a sticker. It’s backed by research, driven by demand, and curated with care.

Pink Lady Liquidation: Smart pricing. Thoughtful sales. Proven results.
