Example microwave listing

Panasonic 1.2 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave

Panasonic countertop microwave rated at 1200 watts. I checked heating, turntable, light, and controls. Glass plate included. Small scratch on the right side is pictured; clean interior with no known odors.

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

For over-range or built-in models, list the exact mounting hardware and trim included and avoid implying universal fit.

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

Where to sell your microwave

Prepare one accurate source listing, then adapt it for the marketplace you choose. ListNestly does not auto-publish.

Microwave selling questions

How much should I ask for microwave?

Start with comparable local listings for the same or closest model, then adjust for type, wattage, capacity, and age, verified heating and accessory operation, mounting kit, trim, or turntable included. ListNestly's Price Advisor can help organize those confirmed factors without claiming a live market average.

What photos should I take of microwave?

Include front, sides, back, and open door, clean interior and turntable, controls, plug, mounting parts, and model label. 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 weak or uneven heating and broken turntable, latch, display, fan, or light. Say exactly what you checked and identify anything you did not test.

What information belongs in the listing?

Include dimensions and installation type, functions personally checked, included mounting hardware, 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. For over-range or built-in models, list the exact mounting hardware and trim included and avoid implying universal fit.
