Selling a floor lamp in Telford
Telford is a new town named after the engineer, built across the coalfield next to the gorge where the industrial revolution began — the first iron bridge in the world is a few miles away. It is spread out and built around industrial estates and housing districts.
The town is a set of districts connected by dual carriageways rather than a single centre, so agree which district. Driving is easy and parking is not a constraint.
Confirm which district the item is in before agreeing a price. This is a set of districts on a ring road rather than one town, and the distances inside it are real.
Telford, in England, has around 142,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. London, Birmingham and Leeds are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Telford
Distance selling rules bind traders, not private sellers, but an item must still be as described and anything sold as working must actually work.

What floor lamps are worth
What lifts the price
- Recognised design and mid-century pieces
- Marble or weighted bases that are undamaged
What pulls it down
- Perished or fabric-covered original wiring
- Generic modern lamps, which sell for very little
Working out what yours is worth
- Check the flex and plug for perishing or damage
- Look for a maker’s mark on the base
Getting it ready
- Inspect the plug for scorching and the cable entry at the base and the lampholder, which are the wear points.
- Clean the shade carefully. Fabric shades mark permanently, so dust rather than wipe unless you know the material.

Put in the description
- Overall height, and base diameter or footprint
- Whether the cable, plug and switch are sound, and whether the shade is included
Steady all year, with a clear lift from September as evenings draw in and again in January. Mid-century and designer pieces sell within days; generic lamps take a couple of weeks.
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.
