Somewhere to sell PC related items

I am looking to sell some PC related items (i.e. 2 monitors and an apple laptop). I am in quite a rush to sell them due to needing the money for a house deposit so I decided to stick them on ebay - signed up for an account, listed the laptop and one of the screens - 10 minutes later got suspended with no real explanation.

So if anyone knows of anywhere online I can list these, I would really appreciate it.

    Postage will be a killer on the monitors, better to sell locally - e.g. on supermarket 'for sale' boards or local newspaper free ads, or gumtree.co.uk.

    They're both flat screens so postage shouldn't be too bad.

    Get someone with an ebay / paypal account to list them for you.

    Put a reserve on, five day listing

    Make them ' collect only ' no postage

    Take cash - avoid commission charges

    Make sure they see them working before you take their money to protect your friend's good name !
