Sell Your Wall Mirror in Philadelphia

Used wall mirrors in Philadelphia typically sell for $20 to $160. Mirrors sell well and break easily, so the whole listing is about two things: the state of the silvering, and being honest about the weight and how it hangs.

Selling a wall mirror in Philadelphia

Philadelphia is a rowhouse city with a very large student population across several universities. The houses are narrow with tight staircases, so furniture that fits a rowhouse sells and anything wide does not, regardless of quality.

The student cycle dominates: leases across the university districts turn over together in late summer, and that fortnight puts more furniture on the market than the rest of the year combined.

Measure the staircase before agreeing to anything large — the turn at the top is what defeats most sofas here. SEPTA covers the city for small handovers and street parking is competitive enough that a loading plan is worth agreeing in advance.

Philadelphia, in Pennsylvania, has around 1.6 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Pittsburgh, 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 Philadelphia

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 wall mirrors are worth

What lifts the price

  • Solid frames with no splits or missing gesso
  • Secure hanging fixings already fitted

What pulls it down

  • Desilvering at the edges, showing as dark patches
  • Chips and cracks in the glass

Working out what yours is worth

  • Check the edges of the glass for desilvering
  • Measure it and decide honestly whether it can be posted

Getting it ready

  • Check the hanging fixings on the back are present and sound, and note the weight if you can.
  • Look at the frame corners, which is where old gilt and composite frames chip and separate.

  • The mirror hung or propped, straight on, shot slightly off-axis so you are not in the reflection
  • The edges of the glass and any spotting, chip or frame damage

Put in the description

  • Overall dimensions including the frame, and glass dimensions if different
  • The condition of the silvering, described honestly, including any spotting

Steady all year with a lift in spring and before Christmas. Large statement mirrors sell quickly; small plain ones compete on price.

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.
