Example couch listing

Blue Three-Seat Fabric Couch — 84 Inches

Blue three-seat couch, 84 inches wide. Cushions remain supportive and legs remove for transport. No known smoke exposure. Light wear on the right arm is pictured. Second-floor pickup; buyer brings two movers.

Replace every detail with facts you verified. Never reuse a model, measurement, test result, or condition claim that does not apply to your item.

Plan a safe, clear handoff

Measure the widest and deepest points and explain stairs, doorway constraints, removable legs, and loading help.

Meet in an appropriate location, keep payment terms clear, and do not make unsupported safety or working-condition claims.

Couch selling questions

How much should I ask for couch?

Start with comparable local listings for the same or closest model, then adjust for material, construction, brand, and age, frame and cushion condition, cleanliness and pickup or delivery convenience. ListNestly's Price Advisor can help organize those confirmed factors without claiming a live market average.

What photos should I take of couch?

Include full couch from front, back, and sides, cushions removed and seating deck, fabric, legs, tags, underside, and back. Add clear close-ups of every defect rather than relying on a vague condition label.

What problems should I disclose?

Disclose anything known or observed, especially sagging cushions or broken springs and stains, odors, tears, and pet damage. Say exactly what you checked and identify anything you did not test.

What information belongs in the listing?

Include dimensions and seating capacity, material and detachable parts, exposure and condition disclosures, plus honest pickup or delivery expectations.

Should I offer delivery?

Offer delivery only if you can do it safely and describe the fee, distance, unloading help, and timing clearly. Measure the widest and deepest points and explain stairs, doorway constraints, removable legs, and loading help.
