  Craigslist for common items (laptop, ps4, rice cooker, car), eBay for obscure things (a single video game, a stick of RAM, a vintage Nintendo DS accessory)

  Facebook market place unfortunately, since eBay has such outrageous fees I typically just take the eBay price -10% for anything I sell (typically old laptops, 3d printers and phones)

  It's full of scammers and low ballers but its very active where I live.

  I've had no issues with eBay, despite the fee increase. I list my stuff at reasonable prices, generally under cutting recent sold-for prices and still make a few bucks.

  It depends a lot on _why_ you are selling your used things. I am not trying to make a ton of money on them, just trying to keep stuff out of landfills and get it into the hands of people that can use it, maybe recoup some of my initial costs while at it.

  I've had okay luck with FB Marketplace, but the amount of scammers and bots on there makes it an annoying last resort for me.
