Selling a projector in San Diego
San Diego combines a large naval presence with a beach and outdoor culture and near-constant good weather. Surf and water gear, bikes and camping equipment all move steadily, and none of it has to be stored for a winter.
Naval rotations move households in and out on a predictable rhythm, and departing families routinely sell a whole home’s worth of goods rather than ship it. The surf market runs on its own upgrade cycle year-round.
Collection is by car and the freeways make most of the county reachable, though coastal parking in summer is genuinely difficult. Naming a specific meeting point rather than a neighbourhood saves a lot of circling.
San Diego, in California, has around 1.4 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Los Angeles, San Jose and San Francisco are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in San Diego
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.

- Brightness in lumens and contrast ratio
- Ports available, and whether the remote, cables and bag are included
Reasonably robust but the lens needs protecting. Use the original bag if you have one, and never post with a hot lamp recently used.
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.
