Used antiques in Yonkers typically sell for $34 to $810. Antiques are bought on age, maker and originality, and the most common mistake sellers make is restoring something before listing it — which usually removes value rather than adding it.
Selling locally means the buyer collects from you or meets you nearby, so nothing fragile has to survive a courier and there is no packing to do.
Selling antiques in Yonkers
Yonkers sits immediately north of a far larger city on the river, and it is the third-largest city in its state. It has a long manufacturing history, a restored waterfront and a housing stock that ranges from dense apartments to substantial older homes.
The shared labour market with the city to the south means households move constantly, and apartment living means furniture is sold rather than stored when it no longer fits.
Apartment buildings here usually require a service lift to be booked. Confirm it before agreeing to collect furniture rather than discovering it on the day.
Yonkers, 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 Rochester are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Yonkers
Distances are the real constraint. State plainly whether you will ship or collection only, because a buyer three states away will otherwise ask.

Period, item and material: “Victorian Mahogany Writing Box with Brass Inlay, c.1880”. Give an approximate date with a “c.” if you are not certain, and say what your estimate is based on. Vague dating claims reduce trust with exactly the buyers who pay most.
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.

How old is it?
Give an approximate period and say what it is based on — a mark, a construction method, family history. Honest uncertainty is respected far more than a confident guess.
