Think about how you can sell your patio furniture without paying any fees. Consider putting up fliers at your local church or in local businesses, or having a yard sale. This could save on the cost of advertising in the newspaper or on Internet auction sites.

Take measurements of any chairs, table and umbrella if you decide to sell the furniture online. Record the type of furniture, the brand, the shape of the table (round, square, pub-style) and how many people it seats. Write down as much detail as possible about the fabric and design of the patio furniture. The more detail, the better.

Sell your patio furniture locally through craigslist.org, on eBay.com or through your local paper's classified section. Patio furniture can be heavy and it includes many pieces. Shipping will be costly, so when you list online, make sure you put "local pick-up only." Include many pictures from different angles--including close-ups--so consumers can see the furniture details. Also note any nicks or marks on the furniture so you don't mislead prospective buyers. Post the furniture measurements in your ad.

Price your patio furniture fairly. Even if you paid a lot for it, it is going to be used and therefore not worth as much. Plus, if it is priced too high, it will get passed over. Put "best offer" in your ad if you are willing to negotiate. If you are flexible on price, your patio furniture will sell much more quickly.
