Good is the grade most second-hand home and garden items are actually sold at — roughly 65% of top price, or $3 to $394 across the category (about £2 to £292). Used about the house, complete and fully serviceable. Chips, cracks and missing pieces from a set take it down to Fair.
Where the line falls
Household things wear where they are handled and where they sit in the sun: handles darken, fabrics fade along one side, and outdoor pieces weather unevenly depending which way they faced.
For comparison, one grade up is Like New Home and Garden Items and one step down is Fair Home and Garden Items.

Listing at the Good grade
Give the dimensions and photograph the piece next to something recognisable. Homeware is returned for size far more often than for condition.
Shots that carry the most weight in home and garden items:
- Fire Pit — The fire pit whole, outdoors, from a standing angle
- Floor Lamp — The lamp assembled and upright, whole, against a plain wall
- Garden Furniture — The full set laid out together outdoors, so the buyer sees exactly what they get
- Garden Shed — The shed whole, from a front corner, in the garden
On a typical $198 listing, a marketplace charging 20% takes $40, one charging 13.6% takes $27 and one charging 10% takes $20. WishThrift charges neither side, so you keep the whole $198. Listing is free.
