Used socket sets in Glendale typically sell for $20 to $120. Socket sets sell on completeness and drive size, and the fastest way to add value is simply to lay every piece out and count them.
Selling a socket set in Glendale
Glendale sits west of the state capital and hosts major sports venues including a stadium that has held several championship games, alongside a historic downtown and a substantial residential base in the desert.
Sports and hospitality employment runs on event and seasonal cycles, and the desert sun shortens the life of anything kept outdoors, which brings outdoor furniture onto the market regularly.
Driving is assumed and parking is generous, so anything large is straightforward. Stadium event days congest the whole western side, so check the schedule first.
Glendale, in Arizona, has around 250,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Phoenix, Tucson and Mesa are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Glendale
Two practical things shape a US sale. Shipping is priced by dimensional weight as well as actual weight, so a light bulky item can cost far more to send than a heavy small one — measure the box before you quote. And meeting in person is common enough that many police departments now run designated safe-exchange areas in their car parks.

Heavy for its size, so weigh the case before quoting postage. Tape the case shut, because a socket set that opens in transit arrives as a bag of loose sockets.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
