...try selling analog PA equipment.
I (quite literally) gave away a perfect 100-ft, 32-channel/8-Return, all XLR snake because I couldn't get any takers at $100. The $100 would have been nice, but there was zero interest so I gave it to a guy earlier this year that is using it in a semi-permanent install for a combination orchestra/off Broadway type of venue. "Pay it forward / Karma points" sort of thing, I guess.
I still have a Yamaha MG32/14FX board that could pass as new in a custom road case - and I can't even get interest at a price point that is less than the cost of the case. I get it - the 1's and 0's have taken over, but it seems like someone would need it. I'll probably have to look for a good place to donate that as well. I want the garage space back...

Re: You Think Selling Guitar Cabs is Hard...
yeah PA equipment is difficult to sell in the used market generally speaking. Based on own my experience, I've bought one PA system in my entire life (still have it) versus literally hundreds of guitars, pedals, amps etc... it's the kind of gear that you buy once and don't replace/upgrade unless something literally dies.
Active PA gear buyers (those who are constantly improving/upgrading their system) are usually businesses like studios, rental companies, venues, churches etc and they buy new almost exclusively.

True - the shift to digital gear doesn't help, either...

That's what I figured based on your username. I'm in Knoxville, TN but who knows, maybe life we bring me that direction in the near future.

It looks like it. I'm expecting to need one soon and it would be perfect.
