What would you expect to pay for this?

[CinnamonSwirl82]

Solid oak extending table with 4 chairs. Original price £1500, only used 6 months and has been wrapped in storage since. Immaculate condition with no marks/wear and tear.

What would you deem a reasonable price for it secondhand?

Looks similar to this picture but plain grey chairs in the same style

I expect to pay a third of the retail price for second hand in excellent condition but like a pp said it is only worth what someone is willing to pay

A little bit sentimental. My dad bought it for me and he died earlier this year. For £100 I may as well throw it away (and he'd be turning in his grave if he knew I sold it for that much).

I also think £200 would be the higher end of what to expect if you sell it second hand.

I also agree with the posters above. It’s pretty old fashion looking and I wouldn’t even look twice at it.

£300, but unless my financial circumstances had changed since I bought it so that I needed the money then I'd find someone who needs it and just ask them to cover delivery.

Why would you throw it away? Someone who needs it, or a charity, would likely cover delivery if you don't need £100.

It's brand new.

But it’s not brand new is it.

You’ve used it and had it in storage - it’s second hand.

If someone wanted that table and you were charging near full price then they just buy it full office which would include delivery, be brand new and a warranty/guarantee - none of which you would be offering.

If you don’t want it, why not put it up for an amount you’d hope to get for it and then slowly reduce the price.

If it gets too low then take it off and keep it.

Can I ask why you don’t want it anymore, especially if it’s sentimental?

It looks like a really decent table that would last so I personally would keep it.

Does it depend on where you live? I’d expect to pay around £600 in central Scotland. I assume things go for cheaper in the south.

Could you donate it, to a women's shelter or someplace that helps people who have been displaced in some way? That might be a better alternative than keeping it in storage.

Depends on the area, in a more affluent area. £500 ish. In a general area. you'd be lucky for £300.

You could get more for it if there was someone who was looking at buying that exact table or something similar and happens to see your posting. The chance of this happening is low but not 0 so you might as well try.

The issue with second hand sites is usually when someone is looking at buying something second hand, it's because they want something cheap. So often the budget they have is low and they don't really care about whether it's real oak or not.

Im in a similar predicament- i have an almost identical set and would like to replace for several reasons, but the amount id get for my set will barely get me 2 new chairs, never mind table and 6 chairs!

If you aren't bothered about the money, a charity would snatch your hand off for it and come and pick it up.

Is there definitely no chance it will fit in your house? Or do you have adult children/relatives who would gladly have it?

How much will it cost you to keep it in storage? It's rarely worth paying storage fees long term.

There's an excess of nearly new furniture on the market now, buying sofas and dining sets used to be a major purchase and would last 10 years plus, but people seem to change them every time they redecorate to keep up with the latest Instagram trend.

If in very good condition and made of oak that will probably be somwhere around £250-£350 second hand

I have noticed it extends so I will revise my estimate to £300-£400 outside of an expensive area.

Don't keep it if it doesn't fit in the house you are buying. Just sell it and take the £150 or give it away.

The money is gone now.

You might have more luck just listing the table without the chairs.

Please don't throw it away. Donate to charity if you don't need the money.

A good rule of thumb is that second hand furniture, irrespective of how old it is, is about 10% of the original purchase price.

It's similar to new cars, simply driving off the forecourt drops thr price exponentially.

If it's sentimental value then think of it this way - it will be nice for someone you love (friend, family member) to have it, even if you get less than you might have hoped. £350 I think is what it would go for around my parts. Throwing it away really would be a shame! Storage in case you ever move to a larger house...?

I was taught as a youngster that goods devalued to approx 1/3 of RRP automatically the item is second hand - no reference to how long you have owned it or condition. From there you would go down further if it’s well used.

So the maximum would be £500 and prepare for a lot less.

£200 max

How much is your mate offering?

If it is a good well known brand, immaculate, no scratches or dents in table and no marks on the upholstery or chairs, if the person lists on eBay with very good photos and proper description AND offering to work with a courier (opens to larger geographic area) I’d reckon close to 1,000. I say this as I’m looking for a specific second hand wardrobe that is 2k and I’m seeing them selling for 1.5 and thereabouts.

if it is not a good well known brand abc listing as outlined above, I’d think around the 700 to 800 mark. People don’t tend to spend that kind of money on market place hence stipulations above about selling. I sell second hand items, so I’m familiar about selling platforms, description and photos.
