Used monitors in Columbus 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 Columbus
Columbus is dominated by one of the largest university campuses in the country, and the student cycle governs the second-hand market almost entirely. Desks, mini-fridges, bikes and bookshelves appear and disappear on the academic calendar.
The campus district is compact and much of it is walkable, so small handovers are easy. For furniture, the streets around campus are congested during the moving weeks and a specific time slot matters more than usual.
Furniture sold in the campus moving weeks is priced to disappear, which is the appeal and also the risk. Look at it in daylight if you can, because a great deal changes hands sight-unseen in those few days.
Columbus, in Ohio, has around 905,000 people, 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. Cleveland, Cincinnati and Toledo are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Columbus
USPS, UPS and FedEx all cover the country. USPS Ground Advantage is normally cheapest for anything under a few pounds in weight; above that the gap narrows quickly.
