Used desks in Norwich typically sell for £30 to £180 (about $40 to $240). Desks sell on the worktop dimensions, because buyers are matching a specific alcove or wall — so lead with the measurements and say whether it dismantles.
Selling a desk in Norwich
The university clears student housing every June, and the independent and vintage trade here means goods circulate repeatedly. The old housing stock brings genuinely old furniture onto the market. It is also one of the things that moves most reliably here, so there is a local audience for it already.
The medieval centre has narrow lanes and extensive pedestrian zones, so agree a spot on a wider road for anything large. The city is compact and small handovers are genuinely easy.
On old furniture from the city’s period housing, check the joints and the feet rather than the surface. That is where age shows, and a great deal of what circulates here is genuinely old.
Norwich, in England, has around 195,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. London, Birmingham and Leeds are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Norwich
Two practical things shape a UK sale. Bank holidays and the run-up to Christmas slow collections right down, so build a few extra days in. And postage from mainland Britain to Northern Ireland, the Highlands and the islands carries surcharges that catch sellers out — quote for the buyer’s actual postcode rather than a flat rate.

Dimensions and type: “Solid Wood Writing Desk, 120cm x 60cm, 3 Drawers”. Width in centimetres is the primary search because buyers have a gap to fill. Say if it is a standing or height-adjustable desk, which is a separate and higher-value search.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
