Used generators in Halifax, England typically sell for £80 to £500 (about $110 to $675). Generators must be run outdoors only, and that is worth stating in your listing rather than assuming — carbon monoxide from a generator used in a garage or indoors kills people every year.
Selling a generator in Halifax
Halifax has the Piece Hall, an eighteenth-century cloth trading hall that is unique in the country and has been restored as a public square, and it gave its name to a building society that became a bank. It sits in a steep Pennine valley.
Mill and textile closures left tools and genuinely old furniture in private hands. Proximity to the larger Yorkshire cities means households move between them, and moorland gear turns over steadily.
The Piece Hall is the landmark everyone uses. The town is built on very steep valley sides, so for anything heavy establish how far it is from a road a vehicle can reach rather than only the floor.
Halifax, in England, has around 88,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. London, Birmingham and Leeds are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Halifax

Drain the fuel before transport — a fuelled generator on its side leaks and is a fire risk. Collection is usual given the weight.
