Question by Anya X: Where is the best place to sell an item worth over £2000 on the internet?
Hi all, I want to get rid of my bedroom furniture. The whole set, (dresser, king size bed, wardrobe and mirror) cost me around £5000, as it is made from real mahogany, and hand crafted in Italy.
So my questions are these:
1.Do you think ebay is a good place to sell something of this value?
2.How would I go about doing so, sell each piece individually or as a whole set?
I’ve only seen bedroom furniture sell up to around £700 on eBay, but I don’t think I can find anything which has sold for more… I know I won’t get £5000, but its only three years old and in very good condition!
Should I sell it on eBay with a reserve, how can i convince eBayers understand the quality of such items even without sounding too patronising?
….or should I try to sell it in the local newspaper? Gumtree…?
Any help will do! Thank you!

Try ebay … explain how valuable it is and set a reserve of close to a price you want for it.
Gumtree is also a good place to advertise and local papers you cant go wrong with !
