I am not trying to sell my genny here but asking advice on where and how. Things and times change and i no longer need my 2000i champ that is still like new. Craigs list and face book has had no results. or maybe i need to bite the bullet and get down to 1/2 price.i would appreciate any advice.

Sold my Yamaha 2800 I Inverter on Flea-Bay in 2 days for my asking price. Just price it right. A Champ 2000 (Inverter) retails for 499 everyday, sometimes on sale for $450. Price accordingly. It's used so I'd say 300 is equitable.Like new don't count, it's still second hand even if you never started it.Farce book is a waste and CL is for tire kickers and thats about it.Second choice for you would be local classifidies.

You may check to see if you have a local "yard sale" page you post on. We've sold and bought a few things from a local page here.

Champion? You'll be lucky to get half price. I've had one and it worked fine but they're a dime a dozen. Drain it, seafoam it and set it off to the side in case you need it or give it to someone.

You didn't buy it to sell it, you bought it to use it so you have less into it than a Honda or Yamaha.Yeah, you most likely will have to reduce your price, add in "negotiable" and be willing to deal a bit..I instantly ignore any ad which states "FIRM" because when I am looking to buy used I AM looking for a deal and buying used does have great possibilities of buying the sellers JUNKER..If you have a place in front of your home that you could set it out close to the curb you could set it out with a for sale sign. That is how I sold a old 2000w Sportsman open frame gen I wasn't using.. I did only get half of what I paid new and that gen had less than 10 hrs of use.. But hey, I got it cheap at a mere $150 and sold it for $75..

You don't have a use for a backup generator?

That is a plus, not being a Honda. So far, I've tossed rods in 2 Honda motors.

Spoken like one of those 'Honda Holy Grail' owners. Fooey.

This is probably the best advice.

I advertised my 2000 watt Champion genny on Craigslist and it sold in no time. I sold it for about half of new price.

I struggled to sell my old generator and ending up putting a price or trade. Came across a contractor that had a older craftsman air compressor and a air nailer that fit nicely in my garage.

Anything of similar value that you could use the generator to barter for?

I paid about 400 and tax for my Champion when new. I like it and its all I could afford also. I think Id get $200 for it and new that going into it.
