Answer
Hi Joseph,

I put a lot of equipment on Ebay.  Sometimes it's a hit, sometimes a miss.  Beware of scammers who want to send you a cashiers check over the amount of your auction and want you to send the difference back to them (Especially foreigners).  I've had so many scams tried on me.  I don't release the equipment until the cash is in my hand!  If they bring me a cashiers check, I still go to the bank before they get a title.  I had a friend get scammed selling a used Dodge Ram from Ebay.  A tow truck driver took the truck and presented the cashiers check.  When the check turned out to be fake, and the tow truck driver was found, he merely delivered it to the Port per the (scammers) request.  Now the truck and money are gone!

Past that, you may try www.truckpaper.com or see if there is a local "Truck Trader" or similar publication that you get at gas stations.  I would list it on www.craigslist.org too.  It's not your target market, but it's free!

Good luck!
