Old electronics lose value while they sit unused in a cupboard. Listing them free on Olditems puts them in front of buyers in your own city, who can come and see the item working before they pay. You set the price, you choose the buyer, and there is no commission on the sale.
This guide covers preparing the item, writing an ad that gets replies and handing it over safely. The live price table below shows what similar electronics are currently listed for.
Photograph the screen switched on, ports up close, and any scratches honestly — buyers trust listings that show flaws.
Look at what similar items are currently listed for, then set a price that reflects the age, condition and what is included, such as the box, bill and accessories.
Add a clear title (brand + model helps), an honest description and your city. Your electronics ad goes live immediately.
Reply to buyers, meet in a safe public place, and get paid in cash or UPI at handover.
A screen showing a picture proves the item works. A dark screen makes buyers assume it does not.
Buyers search by brand and model number, not by "TV" or "camera".
Remote, cables, box and bill listed out — each one is a reason to pay your price.
Stating a scratch or a dead port up front filters out buyers who would have walked away at the meeting.

Calculated automatically from 132 live listings on Olditems on 28 Oct 2026. "Typical" is the median asking price. Prices are set by individual sellers — Olditems is a listings platform and does not set, verify or guarantee prices, product condition or any seller’s claims.

Shoot in daylight, with the item switched on and displaying something. For a TV, show the screen with a picture on it — not a black rectangle, which buyers read as "not working". Photograph the ports, the back, the accessories laid out, and every scratch or dent you would want to know about if you were buying. Ads that show flaws honestly get fewer time-wasting messages and more serious ones.
Put the brand, model and size or specification in the title — "Sony 43-inch LED TV with remote and box" tells a buyer far more than "TV for sale". In the description, state the age, whether the bill is available, what is included, and anything that does not work. Mention your locality so buyers can judge the trip.

Yes. Posting an ad is free and there is no commission on the sale, because the payment happens directly between you and the buyer. You keep the full amount agreed.
Look at what the same model is currently listed for new and used, then adjust for age, condition and whether the bill, box and accessories are included. The live price table on this page shows what similar items are being asked for right now.
Yes, as long as you say so clearly in the title and description. Some buyers specifically look for items they can repair or use for parts. Hiding a fault only wastes both people’s time when the buyer tests the item.
It is not required, but it helps. The invoice shows the item is yours and lets the buyer check whether any manufacturer warranty remains, which depends on the brand’s own policy. Ads with the bill mentioned usually get more replies.
Sign out of every app and account, remove any memory cards, then use the device’s factory reset option. Do this before the buyer takes the item, and check afterwards that the reset actually completed.
Post your free ad in a couple of minutes — it’s free, with no commission.
