Used office chairs in Long Beach typically sell for $40 to $240. A small number of well-engineered chairs dominate this market, and the gap between those and everything else is enormous.
Selling an office chair in Long Beach
Long Beach combines a major port, a large university and a genuine beach culture in a denser, more walkable form than most of the Los Angeles basin. Bikes, surf gear and apartment-sized furniture all move well. It is also one of the things that moves most reliably here, so there is a local audience for it already.
The university drives an academic cycle and the port drives a steadier employment one. Apartment living keeps furniture small, and salt air is worth asking about for anything metal.
Check hardware for corrosion on anything that has been near the water, and on apartment furniture confirm the lift and the loading arrangements before you agree a time.
Long Beach, in California, has around 455,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Los Angeles, San Diego and San Jose are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Long Beach
Demand rises through the spring cleaning season and again around college move-in in August, when furniture and small appliances move fastest.

Usually collected. Most office chairs separate into seat, base and back, which makes them fit in a car — say so if yours does, because buyers assume they need a van.
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.

Common questions
Where can I sell an office chair in Long Beach?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. Denser and more walkable than the surrounding metro, so more handovers happen on foot or by bike than you would expect. Parking near the shoreline is difficult, especially at weekends.
Do all the adjustments work?
Test each lever individually and list any that do not. Broken tilt locks are common and worth disclosing.

Most used office chairs change hands for $40 to $240. Condition and completeness move that figure more than anything else.
