Used projectors in Seattle typically sell for $67 to $405. Projector value is dominated by lamp hours, because a replacement lamp can cost a large share of the projector’s worth.
Selling a projector in Seattle
Seattle pairs a large technology workforce with a serious outdoor culture and a genuinely wet climate. Waterproof clothing, hiking and paddling gear and computer equipment all have deep local markets, and rain protection is not a nicety here.
Technology hiring moves people in and out, and outdoor gear runs on its own upgrade cycle — equipment gets bought, used for a couple of seasons and passed on in good condition when someone moves up a level.
The city is hilly and the water divides it, so the bridge or the route matters more than the distance. Parking in the denser neighbourhoods is difficult, and a lot of handovers happen at park-and-ride lots for that reason.
Seattle, in Washington, has around 750,000 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. Spokane, Tacoma and Vancouver are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Seattle
The US resale market is enormous and highly local — most transactions still happen between people within driving distance of each other, and buyers expect to collect rather than wait for a courier.

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.
