What's the best way to sell a printer or 3, I'm trying to buy the new Prusa XL (self.3dprinting)

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?

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.

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

I guess so... kinda depressing since this hobby can be kind of wasteful as it is.

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.

What printers are you trying to sell?

[–] mortalic 1 points 1 year ago

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.
