    Not old as in tatty but stuff that is antique but not that valuable.

    I could stick it on eBay but as an eBay virgin I wouldn't have a clue what to do.

    It could go to a charity shop but is probably a few hundred quid which I could do with in the lead up to Christmas.

    Anyone sold stuff like this? How?

    Can do photos if it helps

    It is a 19th century dressing table with the mirror removed so it looks like a desk and a 3 piece cabinet from a similar age with two cupboards at the bottom, a double glass fronted display cabinet and then a coronade(?) (showy wooden bit on top).

    Both useful bits of furniture but wife is bored of them and has the decorators arriving Monday to completely change the entrance hall so they need to go.

    got any armchairs? I'm looking for a chair to be sat in while on the xbox in the spare room.

    I think ebay is the answer tbh. Take some pics and list it as collection only. You could try the classifieds here cos you never know, somebody might be interested. There are a few charities that re-distribute furnbiture to families and homes set up for ex homeless people and they typically collect it too.

    How much – Where – If you want to sort out shipping we can smudge the price a bit

    The bookcase will sell well so might the table, try the local auction houses which I would guess for you would be in Winchester or Southampton. There is one in Andover too.
