Hock Siong has become somewhat insta-famous (48.3k followers on Instagram and counting, no big deal!), and it’s apparent when you see comments like, “Wow! Still available? How much?” appear on their posts almost immediately. They’re best known for selling used furniture and décor, some from local 5-star hotels (*cough* Raffles *cough* Ritz-Carlton). They also do amazing furniture restoration with a reliable upholstery contact – think old school solid wood ‘pak awang’ sofas with kitschy printed seat covers! Some items are up for sale on their online store, but we highly recommend shopping in person to check out the full range.
Thrift shop opening hours: Monday to Saturday, 9am – 5pm; Sunday, 9:30am – 5:30pm

Top tips for Shopping at Thrift Shops in Singapore

Shop with an open mind: Shopping secondhand is not like shopping off-the-rack, so you may not always get the exact items you want. However, if the item ticks most boxes for you, it is probably worth considering. When browsing online, shortlist the items you fancy (by using a like/wishlist function or simply bookmarking the webpage) and compare prices, quality and condition afterwards to make your final decision.

Use filters to narrow your search: When shopping on platforms like Carousell or Facebook Marketplace, weed out all the ‘preorder’ listings from business accounts by filtering the item condition to ‘used’. This will immediately show you all the secondhand items available.

Ask: Don’t be afraid to ask questions before confirming your purchase, especially when browsing online. Sometimes it can be difficult to judge the condition of an item through photos, so make sure you ask questions like how long the item has been used for, if it has any defects, what it’s made of and where it was originally bought from. These questions can also be applied when shopping in retail stores.

Consider the location: You can sometimes filter by location when shopping online – set a parameter from your location so you can view all the items available in your area (this makes it easier to plan meet-ups, pickups and delivery!). You can also look to courier services for small items (GrabExpress), or engage a mover for larger pieces like furniture (GogoX, Lalamove).

Haggle, but don’t lowball: The beauty of shopping secondhand is that even as prices are usually way below retail, there’s probably some wiggle room to negotiate an even lower price. Bargain reasonably though, and don’t suggest a price that’s too low – you may end up offending the seller.
