Used e-readers in Scottsdale typically sell for $34 to $120. E-readers are simple, long-lived devices, so the range mostly reflects screen condition and whether it still syncs.
Selling an e-reader in Scottsdale
Scottsdale is an affluent resort and golf city in the desert east of the state capital, with a large arts district, a substantial seasonal population and the architecture school founded by Frank Lloyd Wright on its edge.
Seasonal residents furnish and clear second homes on an annual cycle, which is unusual and produces well-kept furniture. Affluence means goods are replaced rather than worn out, and golf equipment turns over constantly.
Driving is assumed and parking is generous. The seasonal population means the city is far busier in winter than in summer, which is the opposite of most of the country.
On golf equipment, check the shafts and grips rather than the heads. Courses here are played year-round in heat that perishes grips faster than most buyers expect.
Scottsdale, in Arizona, has around 245,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Phoenix, Tucson and Mesa are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Scottsdale
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.

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.
