We're selling a Haverty's white twin size bed with pull out trundle.  Includes Serta mattress and trundle mattress.  We paid $500 for the bed and $700 for the mattress 3 years ago.  All in absolute excellent condition.  Looks brand new.  What would you sell it for?

@ScrapHappy :  I would start at 50% of what I paid but put o.b.o. as well.  My area has a FB page where many sell good quality furniture and 50% would be the maximum anyone might get.  Sellers also include "buyer disassemble and move".

Please check somewhere. In some places it is illegal to sell mattresses.

Agree.  Don't think I would ever want to buy a used matterss.

Even then I'm really not sure I would buy it.

 

It would have to be wrapped in it's original, pristine plastic, no holes or scratches on the wrapping, leaning up against the bedroom wall for me to consider it.

You could charge for the frame and throw the matress in for free if someone wants it
