Sell Your Monitor in the US

Used monitors in the US typically sell for $54 to $295. Monitors hold value reasonably well because panels last, and the range mostly reflects resolution and refresh rate rather than age.

Selling a monitor in the US

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.

Distances are the real constraint. State plainly whether you will ship or collection only, because a buyer three states away will otherwise ask.

Demand rises through the spring cleaning season and again around college move-in in August, when furniture and small appliances move fastest.

Working out what yours is worth

Display a full-screen black and a full-screen white image to find pixel faults
Check the stand and all cables are present

Getting it ready

Note the size, resolution, refresh rate and panel type from the menu or the rear label.
Find the stand, its screws and the correct cable, and check whether it is VESA compatible.

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.

Steady with lifts in September and before Christmas. Larger and higher-resolution panels sell fastest.

It costs nothing to list

There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the $296 a buyer pays is the $296 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Where in the US

The United States is a big place and what sells well moves with it. These are the parts of the United States with their own page for monitors.

Common questions

Where can I sell a monitor in the US?

List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. 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.

Are there dead pixels?

Cycle solid colours and photograph. Offering that evidence unprompted separates your listing from most others.

How do I check a monitor for dead pixels?

Display a full-screen solid black image, then a solid white one. Faults show clearly against both, and it takes under a minute.

Does a missing stand matter?

Yes, more than sellers expect. Stands are model-specific, so a monitor without one only suits a buyer who already has an arm or bracket.
