Ds needs to sell a practically new JL bed and mattress, quickly as he's moving.

Apart from next door, is there any other websites for London you could recommend?

We are hundreds of miles away and can't help.

Thanks

If he needs it gone Asap then he needs to price it low especially as most people would need to add in extra to move it. How much has he got it up for?

Olio has a for sale section and there's also Gumtree.
If he includes a link to the product on the JL website, as well as photos of the actual bed, that will help.

I think that’s too much to be honest. Beds and mattresses are something that people will want new if they possibly can. And moving it is going to be a real pain, compared to JL delivering it. Possibly especially in central London (which is where I am) as lots of people don’t have cars.

When I sell things I put it on FB, Gumtree and Nextdoor. FB gets the most interest, but also the most time wasters.

My rule of thumb is to list things for a third of the retail price, and I’ll usually end up with a bit less.
