Selling garden furniture in Durham
Durham was a tobacco town that became a centre for medicine and research, anchored by a major private university and forming one corner of a research triangle with two neighbouring cities. The restored tobacco warehouses are now the centre of the city.
The city is easy to drive in and the restored warehouse district is the landmark everyone uses. Campus areas are congested during move weeks, so agree a point off campus.
On research or lab-adjacent equipment, ask what it was used for. Postdoctoral households clear out fast and price to move, but the working history is what sets the value.
Durham, in North Carolina, has around 285,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Charlotte, Raleigh and Greensboro are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Durham
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.

What garden furniture is worth
What lifts the price
- Complete sets with all chairs and cushions
- Original covers included
What pulls it down
- Faded and brittle rattan, especially synthetic
- Incomplete sets with mismatched chairs
Working out what yours is worth
- Count the chairs and cushions against the original set
- Photograph it assembled, in daylight
Getting it ready
- Wash everything down and let it dry fully. Green algae film comes off with soapy water and takes years off the appearance.
- Assess the cushions separately and honestly. Faded, damp or mildewed cushions are worth nothing and can drag the whole set down.
Photograph
- The cushions flat, in daylight, both sides
- Any rust, split weave, cracked slat, wobbling joint or fading
Put in the description
- Whether cushions are included, and their honest condition
- Whether it folds, stacks or dismantles for transport
