Where to sell an awning?

I will be removing a 20-foot awning assembly (the entire assembly, awning, roller, brackets, support arms, pivots, all of it) from the Cherokee 38P. All of the hardware is completely functional. The outermost layer of the awning has seen some wear. I believe the remainder is in good-to-excellent condition. I cannot unroll it to tell because the trailer is parked next to a cabin and the awning will only unroll about a foot. I'd like to advertise it for pickup in SE Virginia. Shipping a 20-foot object would be expensive.

I would like some ideas on how to sell it. I've looked on the Classifieds here, but there are currently only four ads, so I don't believe they get much traffic. Where else could I advertise it?

I could also use some advice on how to price it. This site suggests that the price for a 20-foot used awning could be as high as $499. (I can't offer it for sale to them because they only do business in south Oregon.)

Thanks for responding!

I had thought of Craigslist. I will need to use Richmond and Virginia Beach, not Raleigh which I usually use.

I will have to get DW to post to Facebook, since I refuse to get an account. (Further discussion regarding Facebook by PM, please.)

I would post it on FRF classifieds. Number of ads could also mean they don't last long once posted.

Sure wish it was a 17-footer.....I totally destroyed mine a couple of weeks ago....I wonder if the tube could be shortened, I know all of the important parts are in one end, and I was going to get a new awning fabric anyway.....
