    It would have been better to just start it at £200.

    Also, you are very much limiting your buyers by saying collection only. A friend of mine failed to sell a sofa on ebay but did really well selling it on a local Facebook site after a they persuaded a friend with a van to deliver it so they could offer delivery (at a cost).


    I completely agree with you, however I'm helping sell this sofa for my parents so I'm slightly limited in what I can do around delivery etc.
