eBay is the best for maximum value; Mercari for a quicker sale with slightly lower fees; Local Facebook Marketplace for a cash sale if you want to avoid shipping and fees.
Selling Tips
Include a photo of the back of the cartridge showing the Nintendo logo and the stamped number on the back label. Clean the pins with 90% Isopropyl alcohol and a Q-tip before shipping. Use 'Classic RPG', 'Multiplayer', and 'Authentic' as keywords. Ship in a small padded bubble mailer with additional cardboard protection inside to prevent the shell from cracking.
