You *can* advertise the unit on Ebay, but you'd need to make it an exclusive listing for "local bidders only" and make sure they understand that (unless you are willing to load it up and drive it out to them) they will need to come pick it up as well.

My Mom sold some fairly large items that way and a local guy bought them and came and got them from her location. [img]smile.gif[/img]

But also, the idea of fliers, advertising in the local paper, the Thrifty Nickel, etc. are also very good ways (and inexpensive) to get it sold.

OR...you could check some local places who take donations (make sure they can give you a donation receipt for non-profit organizations) and you can take the "fair market value" in full off of your taxes next year. This is the best way to get the most of the value of the item out of it. And, by doing *this*, my Mom and I will be set for tax season next year as we've donated enough to claim the max on taxes.
