Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace or Nextdoor are ideal to avoid high shipping costs. eBay is possible but shipping a large, light box is expensive unless the buyer pays.
Selling Tips
Thoroughly clean the interior and polish the exterior with stainless steel cleaner to make it pop in photos. Highlight the 'silent close' feature in the description. List as 'Local Pickup Only' to maximize profit.
