What Sellers Made

What Office Sellers Actually Recovered

$8,400
Office relocation · Loop, Chicago
"We were moving to a smaller space and had to clear out 60 workstations in three weeks. Before U Demo found buyers for everything — the cubicle systems, the conference tables, even the lobby furniture. Saved us a massive disposal cost."
— Operations Director, Chicago
$3,200
Small office refresh · Schaumburg, IL
"We only had about 20 pieces — old desks, chairs, a filing system, and some decor. I assumed it wasn't worth the trouble. Before U Demo made it completely worth it and handled everything professionally."
— Business owner, Schaumburg
$14,700
Full floor buildout · River North, Chicago
"Lease ended, full floor to clear. Cubicle systems, AV equipment, executive furniture, the whole thing. Before U Demo ran two sale days and cleared the floor clean before our lease expired. Proceeds offset a big chunk of our moving costs."
— Facilities Manager, River North

Common Questions

Before Your Buildout, Here's What to Know

We work with offices of all sizes — from a single-room refresh with a handful of pieces to full-floor commercial buildouts with hundreds of workstations. There is no minimum job size. If you have items with resale value and a timeline that works, we'll find buyers for them.

Some of our most efficient sales have been small offices where a business owner is upgrading their space. A dozen desks, a conference table, a filing system, and some equipment can absolutely generate meaningful proceeds — and save you the cost and hassle of disposing of it yourself. Reach out with what you have and we'll give you an honest read.

More than most people expect. The strongest performers are cubicle and workstation systems (especially name brands like Herman Miller, Steelcase, Haworth), conference tables, executive and task seating, reception furniture, and filing systems. Beyond furniture, we regularly move commercial lighting fixtures, AV and presentation equipment, break room appliances, shelving systems, decorative planters, and office art.

Even items that feel mundane — lateral file cabinets, task chairs, whiteboard systems — have active buyer markets among small businesses, startups, and contractors who need functional equipment without paying new prices. If it's in your office and you're replacing it, it's worth listing.

We handle building coordination as part of the planning process. Before scheduling any buyer activity, we confirm your building's rules around freight elevator access, loading dock scheduling, move-out hours, and any tenant coordination requirements. Commercial sales in office buildings typically run as scheduled appointment events — buyers arrive in windows that work within your building's protocols.

We've run successful sales in high-rise office towers, suburban office parks, and everything in between. Building restrictions shape the format of the sale but don't disqualify one. The earlier you reach out, the more flexibility we have to coordinate everything cleanly.

Yes — and this is one of the most common situations we work with. Lease end dates create real urgency, and we build the sale timeline backward from your deadline. When you reach out, give us your move-out or renovation date and we'll assess what's feasible. Ideally 3–4 weeks of lead time gives us room to promote the sale and attract serious buyers before your deadline hits.

If you're already inside that window — two weeks or less — reach out immediately. We'll tell you honestly what we can do on a compressed timeline. The worst outcome is waiting until the last week and having everything go to disposal when there were buyers available.

Only owned items can be included in the sale — leased equipment goes back to the lessor. Before we organize anything, you'll designate exactly what's available for sale. If you're unsure about specific pieces, verify ownership before your evaluation call. Most offices have a clear sense of what's owned versus leased, and we build the sale around your confirmed inventory. Nothing gets listed or sold without your explicit sign-off on what's included.
