Cardiff, in Wales, has around 365,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Swansea, Newport and Wrexham are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Put in the description
- Brand, model, and wired or wireless
- Whether the dongle, cable and any adapters are included

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.
