Used dining tables in Exeter typically sell for £50 to £350 (about $67 to $470). Solid wood and design pieces hold value; veneered flat-pack tables do not, and the difference is visible at the edges.
Selling a dining table in Exeter
Exeter has a cathedral with the longest uninterrupted medieval vaulted ceiling anywhere, a university that dominates the north of the city and a quayside on the Exe that is the centre of local outdoor life. It is the regional capital for the south-west peninsula.
The quayside and the cathedral green are the landmarks everyone uses. The city is built on a hill above the river, so ask about steps for anything heavy; the centre itself has extensive pedestrian zones.
On outdoor and water gear, ask its age and how it was stored. Anything load-bearing has a service life regardless of how it looks, and honest sellers here will tell you without being asked.
Exeter, in England, has around 130,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. London, Birmingham and Leeds are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Exeter
The UK has the deepest second-hand habit of any of our markets — charity shops, car boot sales and online resale have been mainstream here for decades, so buyers arrive already comfortable with used goods and already know roughly what things are worth.

What dining tables are worth
What lifts the price
- Solid timber construction rather than veneered board
- Extending mechanisms that run smoothly
What pulls it down
- Water rings and heat marks on the top
- Wobbling legs and loose joints
Working out what yours is worth
- Look at the table edge to see whether the grain runs through or stops
- Measure the length, width and height, extended and closed
Getting it ready
- Measure the top, and if it extends measure both the closed and extended lengths.
- Establish whether it is solid wood, veneer or laminate, and say which — buyers price these very differently.

- The top surface straight on in daylight, which reveals marks honestly
- Extended, if it extends, and any damage close up
Put in the description
- How many it comfortably seats
- Whether chairs are included, and how many
Seats, material and length: “Solid Oak Extending Dining Table, Seats 6-8, 180cm”. The number it seats is the primary search, and extending is a strong selling point that should never be buried in the description. If chairs are included, put that in the title too.
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.
