Used audio interfaces in Columbus typically sell for $54 to $270. Interfaces hold value reasonably but are tied to driver support, so an unsupported unit is worth far less regardless of sound quality.
Selling an audio interface in Columbus
Columbus is dominated by one of the largest university campuses in the country, and the student cycle governs the second-hand market almost entirely. Desks, mini-fridges, bikes and bookshelves appear and disappear on the academic calendar.
Late summer is extraordinary here: tens of thousands of students move within the same few days, and the volume of furniture put out at once makes it the best buying window of the year. May is the mirror image.
Furniture sold in the campus moving weeks is priced to disappear, which is the appeal and also the risk. Look at it in daylight if you can, because a great deal changes hands sight-unseen in those few days.
Columbus, in Ohio, has around 905,000 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. Cleveland, Cincinnati and Toledo are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Columbus
USPS, UPS and FedEx all cover the country. USPS Ground Advantage is normally cheapest for anything under a few pounds in weight; above that the gap narrows quickly.

Brand, model and I/O: “Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen Audio Interface, USB-C”. Generation matters because driver support differs. State the input count and whether the preamps have phantom power, which is what recording buyers need.
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.

Common questions
Where can I sell an audio interface in Columbus?
List it free here and arrange the handover with the buyer yourself. The campus district is compact and much of it is walkable, so small handovers are easy. For furniture, the streets around campus are congested during the moving weeks and a specific time slot matters more than usual.
Is the cable included?
Confirm the connection type and whether the cable comes with it. Older interfaces sometimes need adapters buyers will not have.
