Hello, I've done the usual ebay and craigslist, and I keep dropping the price, but it seems people don't buy used 3d printers that way, or maybe I'm still asking too much? I don't know. Has anyone sold an old printer before to make room for a new one?
What's the best way to sell a printer or 3, I'm trying to buy the new Prusa XL

Explains why you always find 3d Printers on the side of the road or Goodwill.

You could always try Facebook Marketplace, I've sold a lot of stuff there.
Never a 3D printer but quite a bit.
Just be sure to list it that you won't ship it and it's being sold as is.
Take lots of pictures while it's clean and probably a vid of it printing properly so that whoever is buying it knows that it works.

Good thought, though I don't have a facebook account (I know!). Maybe I'll see if a friend will do it for me. I actually have the original box and UPS isn't super expensive to ship it. I sent it off to tinymachines to get some work done on it and it was only like $38 or something to ship.

I have 3 Creality cr10s pro v2's that are the tinymachines modded version. Better firmware (runout sensors actually work), Noctua fans, glass bed, z synced rods etc... If you're interested I can put the ebay link in a dm. I didn't want people to think I was trying to advertise, I really am just trying to figure out how to sell them properly.

I was fortunate and sold an Anet A8 at a garage sale.
In a rural community. Population 1,300.
So yeah, crazy shit can happen.
