A sofa is one of the easiest pieces of furniture to sell second hand — every new flat, PG and office needs one — but it is also bulky, so the sale goes fastest when buyers near you can see it, sit on it and take it away the same day.

Check what similar items are listed for before you set your price.
Ignore what you paid. Look at what similar sofas — same seat count, material and condition — are listed for in your city today, and adjust for age, sagging cushions, torn fabric and peeling leatherette. Solid wood frames and branded sets hold value better than engineered wood. Our furniture price calculator gives you a starting range. Ask a little above the figure you would accept, so there is room to bargain.
Shoot in daylight in a tidy room: the full set from the front and at an angle, each piece on its own, a close-up of the fabric, the legs and frame, and any stain or tear. Honest photos of flaws save you wasted visits.
Let the buyer inspect at your home with someone else present, take the full payment before the sofa leaves, and check that the money has reached your bank account — not a screenshot. Never share an OTP or scan a buyer's QR code to receive money. More in our safety tips.
