Donate or sell couch?

[stretchad]

DH and I have a sectional couch that we really don't need anymore. It's probably 7-8 years old now, in average shape for an older couch. 

It's probably worth $200-300. Would you try to sell on craigslist or just coordinate a donation pick up and take the tax donation?

ETA: If I sell on craigslist, I could see this being something where people want to look at it before committing to purchase...not sure I'm willing to go through that, coordinating being home w/ DH, etc.

i'd probably list it for a week or so and see if i get an easy bite. hopefully you're lucky and someone shows up with a truck and takes it without a ton of back and forth. if it's proving to be a pain to sell, i'd donate.

We recently got rid of a loveseat. I listed it on CL and got no responses, so it was an easy choice to donate. Honestly furniture is a dime a dozen on CL and not everything gets responses.

Assuming you itemize your deductions, DONATE. It's not worth the trouble to me.

I have had no luck selling sofas or chairs on CL. I would donate.

There are a lot of FREE couches on Craigslist, so you'd probably get $100 for it, max.

I donate stuff like that to Habitat Restore so I don't have to deal with negotiating/logistics. They do pickup.
