How much is a used desk worth?
A used desk in good condition keeps about 40% of its original price at 3 years on this calculator's curve. If yours cost $500 new, that works out to roughly $140–$250 as a realistic asking range, with fair market around $200. Use the calculator above to adjust for your exact age, condition, and brand tier.
Do electric standing desks resell well?
Better than fixed desks, if the motor works — that's what buyers are paying for. Include a video of the full height range, note the brand and weight capacity, and keep the controller and cables together. A standing desk with a faulty motor should be priced as a fixed desk.
My desk is huge — will anyone buy it?
Someone will, but the pool shrinks with every inch. Measure it, put the dimensions in the listing, and say whether it disassembles. If it can't leave the room in one piece and doesn't come apart, price it to move — or list it free and let the right buyer solve the puzzle.
Should I sell my desk before a long-distance move?
Full-service long-distance movers effectively charge about $0.50–$0.80 per pound. At roughly 115 lb, moving a desk adds about $60–$90 to the bill — if that is more than its resale value, sell it before moving day and rebuy at your destination.
