Selling flight tickets -possible, worth it?

I have a non-refundable return flight booked with EasyJet in a few weeks that I now won’t be taking.
A quick google shows a website called ‘sparefare’ and a few years old articles about selling flights online.
Has anyone actually done it? It’s £50 each way for a change of name so i’d need to get a decent price. I paid £137 initially and that includes extra leg room and a hold bag, although i’ve since paid an extra £42 to change date, this trip is cursed!) they are currently selling for £192 basic before any fees or extras.
I’m thinking it may not be worth even trying! Open to ideas though!

I get it’s non refundable as stated but do you not still get taxes back if you cancel? Sometimes the taxes make up the majority0

You're entitled to claim the APD which is £13 per person (unless you were flying to Egypt, Israel or Jordan) over the age of 16. Easyjet don't make an admin charge for this, unless they've started doing so recently.
Don't you know anyone that would buy it from you? If you decide to sell it via Sparefare just make sure you read their T&Cs very carefully first.0
