Yes ma’am or sir’s I was wondering if anyone would have a tip on where I could sell my Secretary. It’s all walnut and is in great shape. Money is tight right now. Thanks and God Bless

You should try Craig's List or FaceBook Marketplace. I find that the items sold on Craig's List tend to be of better quality and higher price than FB Marketplace but that might be a regional thing. You will mostly get local buyers which will eliminate the delivery problem. You might also try a furniture resale shop but they will stick you with a very high percentage fee which will significantly reduce your profit. You may not get as much as you think it is worth because "brown furniture" (i.e. wooden furniture in natural colors) is not very popular right now. However the right buyer may be out there. You said it was "Barley" which I assume is the Bartley Collection kit furniture that was out of Maryland or Virginia. That company is no longer in business and the quality of your work in assembling the kit and finishing it will really play in to how much you can get for it. Hope this helps.
