Selling garden furniture in Oxford
Oxford is a university city where the colleges own much of the centre, and it also builds cars at a plant on the eastern edge that has been making them for a century. It is expensive, extremely cycle-heavy and the centre is effectively closed to through traffic.
The centre is restricted to buses and bicycles for most of the day, so arrange anything large outside it. Bicycles change hands constantly here and the station and covered market are the usual meeting points.
On a used bike, ask about the frame first and the components second. Components are replaceable and a cracked or repaired frame is not, and it is the one thing photographs routinely hide.
Oxford, in England, has around 162,000 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.

What garden furniture is worth
What lifts the price
- Teak and hardwood sets that weather well
- Powder-coated aluminium with no corrosion
What pulls it down
- Rusted steel frames
- Incomplete sets with mismatched chairs
Working out what yours is worth
- Check every joint and frame for rust or splitting
- Count the chairs and cushions against the original set
Getting it ready
- Wash everything down and let it dry fully. Green algae film comes off with soapy water and takes years off the appearance.
- Assess the cushions separately and honestly. Faded, damp or mildewed cushions are worth nothing and can drag the whole set down.
Photograph

Put in the description
- Exactly what is in the set, counted, with table dimensions
- Material, and whether it has been stored under cover or left out
Collection, and usually a van. Stack the chairs and have it out and ready before they arrive, because loading a full set takes longer than anyone expects.
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.
