Default Whats the most cost effective AND time effective way to sell onunwanted tools and DiY materials......?

Now that I have finished our forever home, I am now having a clearout of
my garage.

There is a vast range of tools, power tools and DiY materials to sell on
as I will either no longer use the tools concerned or use up whats left
of the DiY materials

Examples a

Box of carpet gripper rods
water cooled electric tile saw
Table top circular saw
Large angle grinder
Small angle grinder
Various step ladders
Chrome Window casement stays
10 packs of double gang switched twin sockets
plastic waste pipe
boxes of fuses
boxes of screws
Wood Chisels
allen key sets
Torx key sets
Extra long screwdriver

I've already tried Ebay..... Too much hassle, have to weigh and estimate
postage & packing, pay commission, risk of getting low wining bids and
some stuff just too impractical or not cost effective to put in the post.

I've also tried car booting. People seem to want something for nothing.
a manual Stanley wood plane brand new in box attracted an offer of £2!

I'vce had mixed results selling on at work, the ones that do sell get
the prices I am asking for them but no interest in the rest.

I have yet to try Gumtree....

I did wonder if people on this NG would actually be interested? The
location is Northamptonshire.
