Selling an e-reader in San Antonio
San Antonio has one of the largest military populations of any American city alongside a strong tourism economy, and the military side is what drives the second-hand market. Household goods here turn over on posting cycles rather than on fashion.
Permanent-change-of-station moves put entire households onto the market at once, usually in summer, and a family posted elsewhere will normally sell rather than pay to ship. That is where the best-value furniture and appliances come from.
The city is spread out and everything is collected by car, with easy parking almost everywhere. Distances are long but traffic is manageable compared with the other big Texas cities, so cross-town collection is realistic.
San Antonio, in Texas, has around 1.5 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Houston, Dallas and Austin are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in San Antonio
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.

Steady with a Christmas lift and a summer holiday bump. Front-lit models sell considerably faster than unlit ones.
