Used microwaves in Basingstoke typically sell for £20 to £90 (about $27 to $120). Microwaves are cheap new, so second-hand values are low and the practical question is whether yours is worth the effort of listing.
Selling a microwave in Basingstoke
Basingstoke was expanded as an overspill town for the capital and built around a ring of roundabouts and business parks, with a substantial technology and pharmaceutical employer base. The housing is largely post-war and the layout is designed for cars.
The road layout makes driving easy and every district has parking, so collecting something large is simple. Agree a district rather than trying to describe an estate.
On home-office equipment from a corporate household, ask how long it ran daily. Well-specified hardware here is often barely marked but has been running continuously for years.
Basingstoke, in England, has around 113,000 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 Basingstoke
Royal Mail, Evri and InPost cover the whole country, and InPost lockers mean neither side has to be in for a delivery. Tracked 48 is the usual default for small parcels.

Put in the description
- Type — solo, grill, convection or combination
- Whether the turntable, roller ring and any accessories are included
Postable but bulky and easily damaged, so a well-padded box and a taped door are essential. Local collection is usually the sensible route at this price point.
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.
