    What Sells

    Downsizing? Sell it before the movers come

    Choose what comes with you, sell the good pieces from the house, and plan the rest before moving day. With 30 recent sales.

    All selling guidesPublished September 7, 2026Updated November 1, 20263 min readBy Stone Ross

    A move sets the deadline. The pieces that do not fit the next home can sell from this one first. In the last 75 days we sold 30 pieces for owners in homes like yours, for $9,090.85 in sales. Our sales, not typical results.

    01

    Decide what goes with you

    Start with the rooms in the next home. Measure them. Keep what you love and what fits, and mark the rest. Keep labels, receipts, cases and matching parts with anything you may sell.

    02

    Sell the good pieces from the house

    With in-home consignment the pieces stay where they stand. We photograph them, research what the same item actually sold for, list them and answer the buyers. Local buyers come to the house at a time you set; pieces that sell better online are shipped.

    Check these before the walkthrough

    • A maker's label, stamp or paper tag inside a drawer or under the seat.

    05

    Plan the rest before moving day

    Agree early what happens to anything that does not sell: family, donation or a hauler. Leave time between the last sale and the movers.

    See the price guides: what used furniture sells for, what signed prints and art sell for, what vintage audio sells for, what tool chests and tool bags sell for, what power and workshop tools sell for.

    We work about 30 miles around Kennett Square, including West Chester, Chadds Ford, Media, Wilmington and Hockessin. Send us photos of the pieces you will not take. Or call or text (484) 873-8483.
