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?

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.
