Used e-readers in Leeds typically sell for £25 to £90 (about $34 to $120). E-readers sell on screen size, front light and which ecosystem they are tied to, so name the brand and model precisely rather than listing it generically.
Selling an e-reader in Leeds
Leeds is the financial and legal centre of the north with two large universities packed close to the centre, and it has one of the strongest vintage clothing scenes in the country. Kirkgate Market has been trading since the nineteenth century, so buying used here is entirely unremarkable rather than a lifestyle position.
The student districts empty and refill every summer, and because they are so concentrated the turnover is visible: whole streets change hands in a fortnight. That is when desks, bookshelves and bikes come onto the market in volume.
The centre is small enough to cross on foot in twenty minutes and the station sits in the middle of it, which makes meeting up straightforward. The dense student districts north of the centre are close enough together that collecting furniture from one is a short trip rather than an afternoon.
Leeds has around 800,000 people in England, 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. London, Birmingham and Sheffield are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Leeds
Distance selling rules bind traders, not private sellers, but an item must still be as described and anything sold as working must actually work. Around Headingley, Hyde Park and Chapel Allerton are where this sort of thing tends to change hands.

Brand, model and features: “Kobo Clara HD E-Reader, 6in, Front Light, 8GB”. Brand matters because each is tied to its own store and format support. Say whether it takes EPUB, which is a genuine differentiator for buyers with existing libraries.
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.
