Used projectors in Cardiff typically sell for £50 to £300 (about $67 to $405). Projectors sell on lamp hours and brightness, and the number every buyer wants is how many hours are left on the bulb.
Selling a projector in Cardiff
Cardiff is the Welsh capital and grew as the largest coal-exporting port in the world before rebuilding itself around government, broadcasting and a stadium that sits in the middle of the city. It has three universities and a bay redevelopment that changed the shape of the place entirely.
Student housing across three institutions empties in June and refills in September, and the broadcasting and creative sector brings people in on contracts. Both clear whole households rather than single items.
The centre is compact and the stadium is the landmark everyone navigates by. On match days the city centre is effectively closed to traffic, so check the fixture list before agreeing a time for anything that needs a vehicle.
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.
Handing it over in Cardiff

Put in the description
- Native resolution and supported maximum, stated separately
- Lamp hours used and the rated lamp life
Resolution, brightness and lamp: “Epson 1080p Projector, 3000 Lumens, 800 Lamp Hours Used”. Lamp hours in the title is unusual and immediately credible. State native resolution rather than the supported maximum, which is how projectors are commonly oversold.
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.
