Used turbo trainers in Tucson typically sell for $67 to $405. Trainers divide sharply between basic wheel-on units and smart direct-drive ones, and the two barely compete.
Selling a turbo trainer in Tucson
Tucson combines a large university with a substantial retired and seasonal population, which is an unusual mix. Bikes do exceptionally well because the city is flat and the riding season effectively never ends.
Flat, gridded and easy to drive, with plenty of parking. From June to September handovers happen early or late for the same reason they do in Phoenix, and shaded meeting points are worth naming.
On a used bike, check the tyres and any rubber components. The riding season never really stops and the sun degrades rubber quickly, so those parts age faster than the frame or the drivetrain.
Tucson, in Arizona, has around 545,000 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. Phoenix, Mesa and Chandler are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Tucson
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.

Sharply seasonal: October to February is almost the entire market, peaking in January. A trainer listed in May is worth noticeably less, so holding until autumn is usually the better call.
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.
