Used microwaves in Chesapeake typically sell for $27 to $120. Microwaves are cheap, plentiful and sold on cleanliness — but the one thing a buyer genuinely needs to know is whether the door and seal are undamaged.
Selling a microwave in Chesapeake
Chesapeake is a very large city by land area, made up of distinct communities separated by farmland, waterways and a substantial swamp preserve. It forms part of a major military and shipbuilding region on the coast.
This is a set of separate communities across a large area, so agree which before anything else — the distances inside the city are genuinely long. Driving is essential.
This city covers a very large area of separate communities. Confirm which one and the actual driving distance before agreeing a price, because it can be forty minutes inside the city.
Chesapeake, in Virginia, has around 250,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Virginia Beach, Norfolk and Richmond are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Chesapeake
Distances are the real constraint. State plainly whether you will ship or collection only, because a buyer three states away will otherwise ask.

Put in the description
- Whether the turntable, roller ring and any accessories are included
- That it has been tested, and the state of the door, seal and interior
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.
