What Happened to Trove Market?
Trove Market shut down, and the company said so directly: its own blog carries a post titled “Trove Marketplace has shut down,” reading in part, “we have made the decision to shut down Trove Market… believe having a safe and reputable place to find antiques, furniture, and other treasures from neighbors and local sellers is important.” That’s about as clear a confirmation as it gets. On top of that, the old referral-link domain (dl.usetrove.com) no longer resolves at all — the tracking infrastructure behind our $5 discount link is gone.
One thing worth flagging: a site called trovemarket.com is live today, but it’s a completely different business — a marketplace supporting entrepreneurs with disabilities selling handcrafted goods, not a used-furniture marketplace. Same name, unrelated company; don’t confuse the two.
AptDeco is the used-furniture marketplace we were already comparing Trove Market to in our original review — and it’s still operating today. (Our tracked AptDeco referral link is currently broken on our end too — we’re flagging that for a fix — so for now, go directly to aptdeco.com rather than through a dead-end link.)
Our Old Trove Market Review
Our original take wasn’t glowing. Trove Market had big photos and simple listings, but item pages were slow to load and cluttered with the seller’s profile info. A decent chunk of the marketplace was actually storefronts (not individual sellers) — no dealer/owner filter like Craigslist has, so it was harder to tell what you were browsing. Selling was genuinely easy (head to the site, hit sell, fill in your item’s details, done), but as a buying experience, Trove Market never quite caught up to Craigslist’s simplicity or AptDeco’s polish. In hindsight, that may have been part of why it didn’t make it.

No. The company posted its own shutdown announcement, and the referral-link domain no longer resolves.
Does the $5 off code still work?
No — there’s no live Trove Market checkout to apply it to.
Is trovemarket.com the same company?
No — the trovemarket.com site live today is an unrelated marketplace for handcrafted goods made by entrepreneurs with disabilities. It just happens to share the “Trove Market” name.

AptDeco — the same used-furniture marketplace we recommended alongside Trove Market in our original review, and still operating today.
