Used microwaves in Nottingham typically sell for £20 to £90 (about $27 to $120). Microwaves are cheap new, so second-hand values are low and the practical question is whether yours is worth the effort of listing.
Selling a microwave in Nottingham
Nottingham made lace and pharmaceuticals and sits on a sandstone ridge riddled with man-made caves, with two large universities and a castle above the centre. The city has a strong independent retail and vintage scene that predates the current interest in it.
The tram network is genuinely useful for anything portable and the centre is compact. The city is built on hills, so for anything heavy ask about steps up to the door rather than only the floor.
The city is built on hills and sandstone, so cellars are common and often damp. Ask where the item was stored, because a cellar here is not the dry space the word suggests.
Nottingham, in England, has around 330,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. London, Birmingham and Leeds are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Nottingham
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 microwaves are worth
What lifts the price
- Combination models with grill or convection
- Larger capacities and higher wattage
What pulls it down
- Rusted interior cavity
- Missing turntable plate, which is size-specific
Working out what yours is worth
- Check the waveguide cover on the cavity wall is intact
- Confirm the turntable plate and roller ring are present
Getting it ready
- Check the door closes squarely and the seal and latch are undamaged, since that is the safety-critical part.
- Heat a mug of water for a minute to confirm it works, and note the wattage and model from the rear plate.

- The rating plate showing make, model and wattage, plus any dent, rust spot or scratched panel
Put in the description
- Wattage, internal capacity in litres and external dimensions
- That it has been tested, and the state of the door, seal and interior
Postable but bulky and easily damaged, so a well-padded box and a taped door are essential. Local collection is usually the sensible route at this price point.
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.
