I posted on Facebook marketplace and it was sold within a day. I live in a town with 3,000 people in it. Facebook is the internet to most people here. Try there.

Oof, you won't believe this but I don't have a presence on any meta services.
But sounds like you're probably right. Maybe I can get a friend to do it for me.
I think as of like yesterday you can sign up just to marketplace with just an email, no Facebook account needed. Might be an EU only thing though
Interesting, I'll give this a look, I'd make a throwaway email for that
Me neither as of today lol. My account was logged into this morning and all my browsers and devices were deleted from their recognized device list and my passwords were all reset haha.
I’m officially off Meta as well. Now to notify all my relatives that my account is no longer mine.
For ebay you always want to take pictures first, package item properly with reinforcement/packaging material, weigh and measure the package. The shipping estimates are based on these metrics, so you need to do them ahead of time.
100% this. However, if these are budget printers shipping will eat into what you can charge for them.
Probably better to sell them locally if possible.
I think so too. But just isn't working. I'll try again
Whereabouts are you?
Pnw, usa
Ah. I can't help there, but I figure if you keep trying, you'll find someone local.
Yes, and printers with 300x300x400 build area are large and heavy
I would say that it realy depends on where you live, for Germany i would recommend eBay Kleinanzeigen.
Yep FB is the way to go for local sales. I'm in a large metro area and exclusively use it.
I have experience buying, not selling, but should still be able to help.
Local sales are the way to go for 3d printers. Local sales also allow people to see the printer and check that it works as they expect before committing to buying it. Most people will pay more for a known-working printer than a the-owner-says-it-works one. Local sales also avoid shipping which, in addition to the downsides that you've discovered, caries some risk for the printer. The downside of local sales is that you might have to wait for a long time until someone nearby wants the type of printer that you have (or until someone who doesn't live nearby opportunistically picks up the printer as they were going to pass near you anyways).
Nealy everywhere has a Craigslist-like for local sales, which could be Kijiji, Letgo, FB marketplace, etc. There's no harm in listing the same printers on multiple sites to see which one gathers the most interest. (Just please make sure to take all of the listings down once the printers are sold.)
Give it to someone who wants it and ask money in return.
Country/location and printers?
e.g. In Germany facebook is dead but from what I hear it is still used in the USA. Smiliar a Ender 3 has a diffrent target audiance than a Raise3D.
It's USA, two creality cr10sprov2 but with tiny machines firmware and upgrades. I was poking at nextdoor this morning, has anyone used that?
Used prices were in a free fall. A Cr10s pro v2 is now around $100-150.
If your price is spot on it might just take a few weeks for a potential buyer to see it as those aren't the typical beginner printers and print farms/businesses use different machines.
Thank you, this kind of puts it in perspective
Where are you from and which printer are you selling and for how much?
USA, two creality cr10sprov2's with tiny machines firmware and upgrades. I sold the first one for $250 I think Might have been $225 I can't remember as it was last year.
Ah, a little too far for me (Europe), the shipping wouldn't be nice.
Hah indeed
