Used monitors in Detroit typically sell for $54 to $295. Monitors sell on size, resolution and panel condition, and the only way to prove the panel is clean is to photograph it displaying solid colours.
Selling a monitor in Detroit
Detroit has more automotive knowledge per head than anywhere else in the country and an enormous stock of older housing. Car parts and tools sell to people who know exactly what they are looking at, and mid-century furniture surfaces here regularly.
The city is spread out and everything is collected by car, with easy parking. Distances are long, so agreeing a meeting point on a main route rather than a specific address saves both sides time.
On car parts, confirm the exact fitment rather than the model name. The local knowledge is real and sellers will usually know precisely what it came off, so ask for the specifics before you travel.
Detroit, in Michigan, has around 640,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Grand Rapids, New York and Los Angeles are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Detroit
Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.

Photograph
- The monitor on, displaying a normal image, straight on
- The rear label with model number
Put in the description
- Screen size, resolution, refresh rate and panel type
- Whether the stand and correct cable are included, and VESA compatibility
Fragile without the original box. Collection with the monitor powered on is the safer route for both sides.
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.
