Example recliner listing

Brown Power Recliner with USB Port

Brown power recliner with wired controls and USB port. Recline, return, and USB power were checked. Back detaches for moving. Small scuff on left side is pictured; buyer brings loading help.

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

State whether the back detaches and whether the buyer needs two people for stairs or narrow doors.

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

Recliner selling questions

How much should I ask for recliner?

Start with comparable local listings for the same or closest model, then adjust for power/manual type, material, and brand, verified mechanism and motor operation, upholstery and frame condition. ListNestly's Price Advisor can help organize those confirmed factors without claiming a live market average.

What photos should I take of recliner?

Include chair upright and fully reclined, controls, lever, footrest, cord, and motor label, seat, back, arms, sides, and underside. 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 failed motor, switch, lever, or footrest and peeling bonded leather or torn seams. Say exactly what you checked and identify anything you did not test.

What information belongs in the listing?

Include dimensions in both positions, functions personally checked, power supply or remote included, 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. State whether the back detaches and whether the buyer needs two people for stairs or narrow doors.
