Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace or OffersUp (highly recommended to avoid high shipping costs), eBay (local pickup only), or a local consignment shop.
Selling Tips
Clean the stainless steel with a specialized cleaner to make it shine. Take photos of the unit powered on. Highlight 'Smart Inverter' in the title. At a thrift price of $150 (per the tag), the profit margin is non-existent; try to negotiate the buy price down to $50-60 to make this a viable flip.
