Used monitors in Canberra typically sell for A$77 to A$420 (about $54 to $295). Monitors sell on size, resolution and panel condition, and the only way to prove the panel is clean is to photograph it displaying solid colours.
Selling a monitor in Canberra
Canberra is a planned government city with high average incomes, a large public service and two universities. People here replace things while they still have plenty of life left in them, so the second-hand quality is unusually high relative to the price asked.
The city was designed around driving and is organised into distinct town centres, so naming which one you are near saves everyone a long trip. Parking is plentiful and free in most places, which makes collecting large items easy.
On office furniture, check the gas cylinder and the mechanism. A lot of very good chairs come onto the market here looking barely used, with the one expensive part already worn out.
Canberra has around 460,000 people in Australian Capital Territory, 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. Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Canberra
Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.

Put in the description

Size, resolution and panel: “24in 1080p IPS Monitor, 75Hz, HDMI and DisplayPort”. Size and resolution are the primary filters. Say which inputs it has, since a buyer with a specific machine needs the right port.
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.
