Several years ago I bought a piece of equipment for about $13,000. I used the shit out of it and kept it in good condition but I dont see myself getting back into it. I’m expecting to get about $6000 for it but since it was delivered on a pallet, shipping it is out of the question.

Feels like a bad idea to accept a check/QuickPay/venmo/anything that can be canceled afterward so am I stuck with cash?

And are there better sites for this than Craigslist? I don’t have Facebook.

    I’m keeping it vague for privacy but it’s pretty niche, unfortunately. A makerspace or school would happily take it for free but I can’t justify the loss

      Tbh, if it’s something that people know how to use and want it for it’s size, it might be worth a double post on Facebook/Craigslist as ‘you pick it up’. For example, anyone buying a powerhammer knows they need a bunch of equipment to move it, so they may already be factoring that into their cost analysis.
