Price the item buyers can actually collect
A strong furniture price reflects condition, size and the effort required to move it. Start with comparable second-hand pieces, then adjust for visible wear, missing parts and whether the buyer must arrange collection.
What to include before choosing a price
- Exact width, height and depth in centimetres
- Clear photographs of corners, surfaces, drawers and hinges
- A short description of scratches, stains or previous repairs
- Whether the item separates into smaller pieces for transport
- The collection area without publishing a private address
Leave a small amount of room for a reasonable offer, but avoid setting an inflated price simply to negotiate down. A clear, realistic figure attracts more serious enquiries.
