Golden Rule
Used price = percentage of new price based on age and condition.
| Age | Excellent | Good | Fair |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under 1 year | 60–70% | 50–60% | 40–50% |
| 1–3 years | 40–55% | 30–45% | 20–35% |
| 3–5 years | 25–40% | 20–30% | 10–20% |
| 5–10 years | 15–25% | 10–20% | 5–15% |
Value Boosters
- Beech wood holds value better than MDF
- Classic with hand carving can appreciate
- Known brands (IKEA, Mobilia) sell faster
Practical Examples
| Item | New (EGP) | Age | Condition | Sell Price (EGP) |
