Selling an armchair in Gorakhpur
Gorakhpur is a railway and administrative city serving a large agricultural region, with a significant temple presence and a growing student population. The market is practical and driven by government and trade rather than industry.
Government postings and the student population move households on predictable cycles. The monsoon here is heavy and the region floods in places, which makes storage history a fair question.
The area around the railway station is congested and the rest of the city is easier. Most collection happens by two-wheeler, and summers are severe.
The region floods in places. For anything electrical or upholstered, ask plainly whether it has been in water — it is a normal question here and an honest seller will answer it.
Handing it over in Gorakhpur

What armchairs are worth
What lifts the price
- Original upholstery in good condition, or a recent professional recover
- Fire safety labels still attached
What pulls it down
- Sagging seats and collapsed webbing
- Missing fire labels, which limit resale in some markets
Working out what yours is worth
- Sit in it and feel whether the seat platform still supports you
- Check the fire label is present under the seat
Getting it ready
- Sit in it and lean back hard. A frame that creaks or shifts must be described as such, because the buyer will do exactly this test in your living room.
- Look underneath for a fire safety label. In the UK, upholstered furniture made since 1988 should carry one, and buyers increasingly ask.

- The seat cushion lifted out, showing the deck and the underside of the cushion
Put in the description
- Width, depth and seat height in centimetres, measured at the widest point
- The upholstery material, and whether the cover is removable or washable
Collection almost always. Measure your doorways and stairwell before you list, tell the buyer which floor it is on, and agree who is lifting before they arrive with a car that is too small.
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.

Will it fit through my door?
Give the width at the widest point, which is usually the arms, not the base. Most standard interior doors are around 76cm, so anything above that needs the buyer to plan — say so rather than let them discover it.
