Used wall mirrors in Exeter typically sell for £15 to £120 (about $20 to $160). Mirrors are fragile and awkward to post, so most sell locally, and the frame is usually worth more than the glass.
Selling a wall mirror in Exeter
Exeter has a cathedral with the longest uninterrupted medieval vaulted ceiling anywhere, a university that dominates the north of the city and a quayside on the Exe that is the centre of local outdoor life. It is the regional capital for the south-west peninsula.
The university is large relative to the city and clears student housing every June, which is the dominant cycle. Outdoor and water equipment moves constantly given the moors and the coast either side.
The quayside and the cathedral green are the landmarks everyone uses. The city is built on a hill above the river, so ask about steps for anything heavy; the centre itself has extensive pedestrian zones.
Exeter, in England, has around 130,000 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 Exeter
The UK has the deepest second-hand habit of any of our markets — charity shops, car boot sales and online resale have been mainstream here for decades, so buyers arrive already comfortable with used goods and already know roughly what things are worth.

Working out what yours is worth
- Check the edges of the glass for desilvering
- Inspect the frame for splits, especially at the corners
Getting it ready
- Clean the glass and inspect the edges and back for black spotting, which is silvering breaking down and cannot be repaired.

Style, shape and size: “Large Gilt Overmantel Mirror, 120x90cm” or “Round Black Framed Wall Mirror, 80cm”. Dimensions are essential and shape is a real search. If it is genuinely antique, say so with the evidence; if it is a modern reproduction, say that instead.
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.
