We recommend testing your luck on your local classified listing sites. Most of these platforms allow you to list an ad for free and offer the chance to show your ad to buyers in your area. Check to see if your area has its own local classified sites.
You can also try some popular classified ad sites that we have listed out below:
Craigslist will be a good first option to list your used equipment because of their popularity and traffic.
As one of the largest classified sites, listing your old copier or printer in your city should put you on the radar of local buyers. You may even find local copier dealers who regularly browse the site.
We recommend posting your listing under the correct category in order to maximize relevancy when buyers are looking at your listing. You can try using the For Sale —> Electronics section.
When listing your equipment, be sure to include the brand, model number, and shipping preferences.
Presentation is key! You may also want to attach additional information such as usage information, service history, location, additional parts and meter number. Be sure to also include images. Image increase visibility of your ad and makes your listing look more appealing. Although pictures are not necessary, know that people buy with their eyes online. Including pictures will definitely help you in your sale. Better photos mean better offers.
Another classified platform worth looking into is eBay classified postings.
Many sellers do not realize that eBay has a classified section, but the traffic that eBay sees is comparable to craigslist. Selling your equipment here will give you extra visibility in your local area over your competitors.
The platform is intuitive, like Criagslist, but uses eBay’s formatting. You can also post free ads here if you are a local seller of used printers and office equipment.
Oodle is another classified ads site like Craigslist where buyers connect with sellers of a wide range of products, including used office equipment.
The site works by accumulating listings from sites such as eBay, Facebook Local Marketplace, Ad Land Pro, and other classified sites.
By listing your machine here, you will once again be shown to local buyers who are interested in your machine.
Instead of continuing to list classified ad sites, as popularity varies by location, we will include a few other options you may look into here:
