Used microwaves in Taunton 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 Taunton
Taunton is the county town of Somerset, with a cricket ground at its centre, a long cider-making tradition in the surrounding district and the Quantock and Blackdown hills either side. It is the administrative and market centre for a large rural area.
The town is compact and flat and parking is manageable, so anything large is straightforward. The cricket ground and the station are the landmarks everyone knows.
On garden and agricultural equipment, start it rather than looking at it. Machines here do real work on large plots and a season standing idle is what actually causes the problems.
Taunton, in England, has around 70,000 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 Taunton
Most private sales settle by bank transfer or cash on collection. Faster Payments clear in seconds, which makes a transfer as safe as cash for the seller — wait for it to land before the item leaves your hands.

Put in the description

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.
