What's a good community to try to sell a phone? (lemmy.thewooskeys.com)

I'm trying to sell an unused Pixel 10.

I searched for Lemmy communities with "sell", "sales", and "marketplace", but only a few come up and none of them had any posts in years.

Can you please suggest a good community for me to try?

Thanks.

Swappa still exists. Barring that, I don't know.

What is an unused Pixel 10? Stolen? Seems like a red flag. Those are tracked, the IMEI might be banned, and it might only be usable as a WiFi device. It might even be locked out of use, making it a paperweight. If it's not stolen, you basically have a new device, and you probably want close to what you paid for it, but at that point any reasonable consumer would be better advised to just buy it new, and eliminate the possibility of it being locked out.

Lemmy isn't really the platform for that. If I were trying to sell a phone I'd probably list it on Swappa, eBay, or Facebook Marketplace. It wouldn't even occur to me to try and sell it here. And if I were buying a second hand phone, of those three I'd be most inclined to buy off of Swappa.

Ebay

Why try to sell here? The number of people on Lemmy is tiny. You need to advertise the phone in a place where loads of people can see. Facebook marketplace or eBay.
