> Just out of curiosity, where do you think is the best place to sell a machine like that with the lowest risk of being scammed, while still getting the best possible price?

There are none currently on eBay.co.uk, so I'm going to try there. I'll also try some of the reddit UK-specific groups.

As far as not being scammed - it's a really high value one-off sale, so it'll either be local pickup (and cash / bank-transfer at the time, which happens in seconds in the UK) or escrow.com (for non-eBay) with the buyer paying all the fees etc.

I'd prefer local pickup because then I have the money, the buyer can see it working, verify everything to their satisfaction etc. etc.

Thank you :) It is a little better today. Sitting down is now tolerable for short periods... :)

doesn't escrow.com charge a 50$/pound minimum fees.

I do know that Escrow.com is one of the most reputable escrow platforms, on a more personal note, I would love to know a escrow service where I can just sell the spare domains I have (I have got some .com/.net domains for 1$ back during a deal for a provider), is there any particular escrow service which might not charge a lot and I can get a few dollars from selling them as some of those domains aren't being used by me.

I am wishing you speedy recovery as well. A cowboy gotta have a strong back :-)

According to the calculator, it’d be about £280 assuming the purchase cost was £11k. I think that’s probably an upper-bound on the sale-price, though I can see bids of $20k on eBay.com for the same model.

I sold a domain via escrow.com a long time ago now (20 years or so) but the buyer paid fees, so I don’t know what they charge for that. You could try the calculator they have though (https://www.escrow.com/fee-calculator)

And thanks for the good wishes :)

Probably ebay

lowest is probably an apple trade in if available, but i can't imagine how bad of a price hit it will be.

I checked, it's terrible. They don't take into account the size of the RAM in the machine, so you get the base-model trade-in value (£1280). Yeah, no.

sounds like 100% risk of getting scammed

I sell Apple products on Craigslist.
