Try cash converters at Bedok, they will come to your house just like garang guni and pay you.. Cashback is minimal, just like garang guni..
Pros is no need to get nagged at and there are a few employees around to help..

Cash Converter takes in only working printers (with CD driver) and working laptops.

They do not take in clothes, sofa and coffee table.

The sofa and coffee table is more suitable for The Salvation Army, assuming they are still in good condition and can be sold as second hand products. Salvation Army collects them from your place too, give them a call to check.
