Used generators in High Wycombe typically sell for £80 to £500 (about $110 to $675). Generators are judged on running hours and how they start, and a machine that has sat unused for years is often harder to sell than a used one.
Selling a generator in High Wycombe
High Wycombe was the furniture-making capital of the country — chair making in particular, using beech from the Chiltern woods around it — and the trade is still part of the town’s identity. It sits in a steep valley on the corridor into the capital.
The furniture-making history means genuinely good older chairs and tables circulate here as ordinary business. Commuter households move with jobs in the capital, and the university campus adds a student cycle.
The town is in a narrow valley and the sides are steep, so for anything heavy establish the approach rather than only the address. The station and the centre are easy to reach.
High Wycombe, in England, has around 125,000 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 High Wycombe

Put in the description
- Continuous and peak output in watts
- Fuel type, tank capacity and approximate run time
Drain the fuel before transport — a fuelled generator on its side leaks and is a fire risk. Collection is usual given the weight.
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.
