Used dining tables in San Antonio typically sell for $67 to $470. Dining tables sell on material and seating capacity, and the two things buyers cannot tell from a photograph are how solid the top is and whether it extends.
Selling a dining table in San Antonio
San Antonio has one of the largest military populations of any American city alongside a strong tourism economy, and the military side is what drives the second-hand market. Household goods here turn over on posting cycles rather than on fashion.
The city is spread out and everything is collected by car, with easy parking almost everywhere. Distances are long but traffic is manageable compared with the other big Texas cities, so cross-town collection is realistic.
On household goods from a military move, ask when the family is leaving. A seller with a fixed departure date will usually take a sensible offer close to it, and both sides do better for the question being asked.
San Antonio, in Texas, has around 1.5 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Houston, Dallas and Austin are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in San Antonio
Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.
What dining tables are worth
What lifts the price
- Solid timber construction rather than veneered board
- Matching chairs sold with the table
What pulls it down
- Veneer lifting or chipping at the edges
- Wobbling legs and loose joints
Working out what yours is worth
- Look at the table edge to see whether the grain runs through or stops
- Photograph the top in daylight so marks are visible
Getting it ready
- Check for wobble, tighten the leg fittings, and look closely at the top surface for water rings, heat marks and scratches.
- Establish whether it is solid wood, veneer or laminate, and say which — buyers price these very differently.

Sells steadily with peaks in spring and early autumn as people move house. Solid wood holds value well and sells all year; laminate moves slowly and cheaply.
