Used baby monitors in San Jose typically sell for $27 to $120. Monitors date quickly because the technology moves, so recent models with working batteries carry most of the value.
Selling a baby monitor in San Jose
Tech hiring and layoff cycles move people in and out, and a departure from the valley usually means selling up rather than shipping across the country. Home-office equipment is the category that most reliably appears.
The valley is built for driving and collection is straightforward, with parking available almost everywhere outside the immediate downtown. Distances between the south and north ends of the valley are longer than they look on a map.
For computer hardware, ask its age and whether it was under load continuously. Ex-office and ex-datacentre equipment is often excellent value but has run far more hours than a home machine of the same year.
San Jose, in California, has around 970,000 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. Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in San Jose
Demand rises through the spring cleaning season and again around college move-in in August, when furniture and small appliances move fastest.

Brand, model and type: “Motorola Video Baby Monitor, 5in Screen, Model MBP…” or “Audio Only Baby Monitor, DECT”. Say video or audio, and whether it is a standalone camera-and-parent-unit pair or app based, because that distinction decides whether it still works at all.
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.
