    Best way to sell locally (computer parts, etc)

    I have an old Dell monitor that I want to sell locally. I put it on Letgo and set price as negotiable. I got no offer. I typically do not sell locally but I simply don't have any box to ship the monitor. Is Letgo the "go to" app for selling local goods or should I also double post on Craigslist
