I put as much info and as many photos as possible. Be sure to put approximate measurements because people always want to know if something will fit in their vehicle. I also add clear photos of any imperfections or damage. If you are selling it for a low price, I would clearly state something like "moving, priced to sell".

@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Lately, I've been selling a lot of baby/toddler things we have outgrown. I use a local site similar to craigslist and a FB buy/sell group. If I'm not in any particular hurry to sell, I'll list items for the price I hope to get and just wait. If I want it to move, I'll relist it stating "reduced price" or OBO. It has worked well for me. Sometimes bundling items can work well too, especially for baby clothes. I also compare what similar items are selling for used and price accordingly.

It depends...how much did you buy it for and how old is it? I did some ikea furniture at about 75% of the original price because it had barely been used. I always price high and assume people will work me down. I got lucky that time and found a buyer right away that didn't try to haggle.

The chair looks like it's barely used...i probably would have priced it around 50% of original price to start. The couch is looking mroe loved and a little saggy, so I would have priced it lower...

@looch: Same. I would assume something weird had happened on those couches to be $100 for both.

I usually look up similar items on Craigslist and price them accordingly.

We got about $450 for and old dirty 3 seater couch and a pretty new love seat. Both had scratches from cats we fostered though. I thought it was a pretty good deal on both ends considering I paid around $1,600 for them new.

And in general I think it's better to be on the low end if you are craigslisting - there is always a ton of other furniture for sale and you want to stand out. Plus if people have to come pick it up themselves that should add to the discount.
