Step 1: Find 5 comps in 10 minutes

Comps are similar couches for sale near you.

  • Same size. Same seats.
  • Same material. Fabric or leather.
  • Same brand, if you can.
  • Same condition. Be honest.

Comp rule

Use the middle 3 comps. Ignore the crazy high ones.

Step 2: Adjust for condition in one minute

Condition moves your used couch price the most.

Like new

  • No stains.
  • No smells.
  • No tears.
  • Cushions feel firm.

Price: near the top comp.

Good

  • Light wear.
  • Small marks.
  • Still comfy.

Price: near the middle comp.

Worn

  • Stains or smells.
  • Sags or flat cushions.
  • Loose arms.

Price: near the low comp. Or less.

Leather note

People ask, “How much is a used leather couch worth?”

  • Peeling lowers value a lot.
  • Deep cracks lower value a lot.
  • Clean, soft leather holds value better.

Step 3: Set a “today price” and a “floor price”

This keeps you calm when people haggle.

  • Today price: what you list for right now.
  • Floor price: the lowest you will take.

Tip: Put your floor price in a note. Do not post it.

Step 4: Make pickup easy, so buyers say yes

Pickup work changes what people will pay.

  • Stairs or elevator?
  • Parking close by?
  • Truck access?
  • Will you help load?

Clear pickup info gets more “yes” replies.

Lift safety matters. Use team lifting for bulky items when you can. NIOSH lifting guidance and manual handling tips.

Step 5: Use a listing that gets replies

Keep it short. Keep it clear.

Copy and paste listing template

  • Title: Brand + size + color couch
  • Price: $___ (firm or best offer)
  • Condition: like new / good / worn
  • Flaws: one line, honest
  • Pickup: stairs / parking / truck info
  • Timing: “Pickup today after 5”
