I sell some stuff via consignment at our local 2nd hand store. They keep 25%, which is worth the complete reduction in hassle for me, at least on some stuff. I don't sell much bike stuff through them though - mostly ski stuff.

Locally I think it is 80% store credit or 50% cash

A pair of dumb Shimano RX880's that only work with 12speed microspline road cassettes despite the listing saying they were 11sp compatible.

For Buy The Mojo it's 35% under $500 and 20% + a fee over $500.
I think the variable structure is good. 40% of $3k is substantial!

Update: Sold the wheels via FB Marketplace for 2x the Pro's Closet offer.

2 times the price! That’s worth any potential “hassle” above and beyond sending stuff to TPC

FWIW, I sell a ton of stuff each year, and I personally think the perceived "hassle" is way overblown.... especially if we're talking the difference of several hundred or a few thousand bucks. Sure I get the occasional "Is this still available" shit from FB, but IME buyers from Pinkbike and here on TGR are much easier to deal with. Even buyers from Craigslist seem pretty decent lately, and they've done a good job minimizing spam.

And we appreciate you for your contribution [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]

@smmokan - Yeah. Agreed. Although, we may have a better & more knowledgeable market living where we do.
I'm also trying to sell a gaming monitor and that has been a nightmare. Bike stuff seems to go easier and with less hassle.

I've been an avid buyer/seller of gear for the last 20 years and it's so much easier with all the resources we have these days. Facebook, CL, forums, etc. When I worked in a consigment style shop at one point, the main people that brought stuff in were wealthy folks who don't care how much they get back. Luckily for the pro's closet, there's plenty of that on the front range. Anyone who really needs the money takes the time to sell their gear on their own typically, some just make it seem real hard to answer 5 messages and ship/meet somewhere when it really isn't.
