Used TV units in Madison typically sell for $34 to $190. TV units sell almost entirely on dimensions, because the buyer has a specific television and a specific alcove, and every question they ask is really about whether it fits.
Selling a TV unit in Madison
Madison is the state capital and home to the flagship university, built on an isthmus between two lakes with the capitol at one end and the campus at the other. It has a strong cycling culture and severe winters.
The university clears student housing each May and the student districts are dense enough that the turnover is visible. Bikes and winter equipment both move on strong seasonal cycles.
The isthmus means there are limited routes between the two sides of the city and they congest, so agree a realistic window. Cycling is genuinely practical here for anything portable.
Madison, in Wisconsin, has around 270,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Milwaukee, New York and Los Angeles are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Madison
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 TV units are worth
What lifts the price
- Cable management ports already cut
- Sizes suited to common television widths
What pulls it down
- Chipped edges and lifting veneer
- Very large units suiting few rooms
Working out what yours is worth
- Measure the width and state the maximum TV size
- Check every door and drawer
Getting it ready
- Test drawers and doors, and check any glass shelf for chips at the corners.
- Tighten legs or castors and check the top for a sag if it has carried a heavy set for years.

Put in the description
- Maximum TV size or weight it is designed for, if the label or manual states it
- Whether the back is open for cables, and whether it is a corner or straight unit
Width first, because that is the search: “150cm TV Unit, Oak Effect, 2 Drawers” or “Corner TV Stand, Glass Shelves, 100cm”. Say whether it is a corner unit, since that is a completely different buyer and putting it in the title saves you a stream of wrong enquiries.
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.
