Used wall mirrors in Rochester typically sell for $20 to $160. Mirrors are fragile and awkward to post, so most sell locally, and the frame is usually worth more than the glass.
Selling a wall mirror in Rochester
Rochester built its wealth on photography, optics and photocopying, and the companies that did it left the city an unusual concentration of precision engineering skill and a major museum of photography. Lake-effect snow here is heavy and reliable.
The optics and imaging industry left genuinely good camera equipment in private hands here in a way that is unusual anywhere else. The universities clear student housing each May.
The road network was built for a considerably larger population than the city now holds, so crossing town is quick and a kerbside load is rarely contested. Lake-effect snow can arrive fast and heavy between November and March, so agree a fallback rather than assuming the day will hold.
Rochester, in New York, has around 210,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. New York, Buffalo and Yonkers are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Rochester
USPS, UPS and FedEx all cover the country. USPS Ground Advantage is normally cheapest for anything under a few pounds in weight; above that the gap narrows quickly.

What wall mirrors are worth
What lifts the price
- Antique and design frames with a following
- Solid frames with no splits or missing gesso
What pulls it down
- Desilvering at the edges, showing as dark patches
- Damaged or missing frame moulding
Working out what yours is worth
- Inspect the frame for splits, especially at the corners
- Measure it and decide honestly whether it can be posted
Getting it ready
- Clean the glass and inspect the edges and back for black spotting, which is silvering breaking down and cannot be repaired.
- Check the hanging fixings on the back are present and sound, and note the weight if you can.
Photograph
- The mirror hung or propped, straight on, shot slightly off-axis so you are not in the reflection
- The edges of the glass and any spotting, chip or frame damage
Put in the description
- Overall dimensions including the frame, and glass dimensions if different
- The condition of the silvering, described honestly, including any spotting
Steady all year with a lift in spring and before Christmas. Large statement mirrors sell quickly; small plain ones compete on price.
