what venue do you guys use to sell used bikes and parts? is ebay still the place or is there somewhere better?

There are some Facebook groups set up for buy-sell used bike related stuff that I've used successfully.

Slowtwitch has a pretty good Classified section, but you can't sell until you make a certain number of posts. Also pretty much a buyers' market....
I still use eBay for my stuff mostly.
Just say "NO!" to WCP!!!!

My little rant about eBay. I used to sell bike stuff there all of the time. I set good "buy it now" prices, and people knew what they were getting. As cycling grew in popularity, selling became more aggravating. I had someone request detailed measurements of pair of PI, medium tights, and get all snotty when I told them they were already packaged, and well they're PI medium. I gave up after some San Francisco hipster fixie d bag left my first negative feedback ever, after over a decade. He gave me an incomplete address (no apt no), never told me they hadn't arrived until after the bad feedback. I immediately refunded his payment. They were returned to me by UPS about a month later. I hadn't bothered with tracking, as I was used to dealing with fellow "bike people".

it's been years since i've sold anything on ebay. the facebook thing was a good idea and there's a local page to post things.

I cancelled my eBay account in disgust. I opened a new one eventually when I found impossible to find Italian car parts on the Italian eBay. LOL.
