Just for curiosity, have you tried to sell locally?
NYC/New Jersey is the biggest metro area in the USA, with nearly 1/15 of all Americans. I'd have to imagine that you might find a local buyer.
Obvioiusly the C&V market can be a bit fickle, but at least it is worth a try.
If you save $100 on shipping, you might get a good deal for both the buyer and seller.
