Used desks in Atlanta typically sell for $40 to $240. Desks divide sharply between ordinary tables and height-adjustable models, and the two sell in very different brackets.
Selling a desk in Atlanta
Production work is project-based and gear appears between jobs. Steady in-migration means arriving households are furnishing and departing ones are selling at more or less all times of year. It is also one of the things that moves most reliably here, so there is a local audience for it already.
Traffic is the defining constraint and the metro is large, so which side of the perimeter you are each on matters more than the mileage. Parking is easy outside the immediate centre.
On production and camera gear, ask whether it came off a shoot and what it was used for. Equipment that has travelled to locations repeatedly has taken knocks that a studio-kept item has not.
Atlanta, in Georgia, has around 500,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Augusta, Macon and New York are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

The US resale market is enormous and highly local — most transactions still happen between people within driving distance of each other, and buyers expect to collect rather than wait for a courier.

Dimensions and type: “Solid Wood Writing Desk, 120cm x 60cm, 3 Drawers”. Width in centimetres is the primary search because buyers have a gap to fill. Say if it is a standing or height-adjustable desk, which is a separate and higher-value search.
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.
