I found a site for it but they don’t list their fees anywhere so I thought it was kind of shady. Maybe I should call up some local places and see if they know any good places, thanks for the tip
Comment on What's the best way to still something expensive that can't be shipped?

Niche products usually have communities with buy/sell forums. Find one of those if you can.
Kijiji is a reasonable alternative to FB around here. Craigslist is not. Karrot may be an option, but it depends on where you are.
Contact a local makers group - they often have ties to all sorts of other groups.
You can trash eBay all you want, but 85% of a sale is more than 100% of an unsold item.

My problem with eBay is the return policy (as a seller). Depending on what you’re trying to sell you can get seriously screwed. Sell a $1,000+ laptop you sold being 100% honest, they have it for 28 days and their kid dumps a glass of milk on the keyboard and now it’s returned as “not as described”. So you’re out $1,000 and a broken laptop and maybe a negative review for doing nothing.
They need to make the return window like 5 days or something. If you don’t know it is 'as described" 5 days after receiving it then it’s yours. I get maybe 14 days for collector items, to get them verified or something. But yeah, electronics and such, no way.

I think the first part of this is great advice. Find a related online community and post the listing on their boards.
Not only are you speaking directly to people who might be interested, but you can also have more of a back and forth before the sale to ensure that there are no misunderstandings.
