Default Help with pricing sofa

Got two 3 seater sofas with a recliner action on each. Sofas are in cream leather, approx 5 years old. Cushions can be removed (Zipped).

Both are in good condition, recliner mechanisms working properly, no holes but a couple of scratches as you would expect.

Need to sell them, any suggestions as to where? Would ebay be worthwhile? If I put them in the local rag, any suggestions as to an asking price?

Do you have "ad-trader" in your area ??

I have sold stuff through this previously, they also have a website that you can list & they add this to the twice weekly published paper. Yellow & blue in colour depending on the day. I am sure its wednesday & saturday they get published.

As for price i would ask for £250 ono for them

I'd go on ebay, see if u can find something similar then watch it til the auction ends of see if there's any 'buy it now' items. Either should give u an idea of what people r prepared to pay.

Hello

I have to sofa's to sell as well (3 seater/2 seater), quite old but in okay condition. If I put them on eBay, what wording do I have to use to make sure that it's only pick-up?

Literally: "Must come and pick up only"?

Collect only. No postage.

But include your town and county.

Sounds like the kind of thing being given away for nothing almost daily on freecycle.org.

Probably, however it's still in good nick and I remember when I first started out, a decent sofa for a few quid was a welcome purchase.

Wanted to know suggested price as I don't want 500 calls but equally too much hassle to skip them. Pays for a few beer tokens as well
