I am selling my November 2015 27" iMac (4.0GHz QC i7, up to 4.2GHz, 32GB 1867MHz DDR3L Ram, 1TB ssd Flash Storage, AMD Radeon R9 M395X 4GB) as I've bought a new 27" iMac. 
Is eBay the best place to sell? What would be a fair price? It has only had light home use and in good condition. 

I would like to have a second monitor for my new 27" iMac. I could keep and use the 2015 iMac which would look great but that seems overkill and expensive when I can buy a 2nd monitor for a lot less than I can sell the iMac for. Should I buy a 2nd monitor or keep and use the 2015 iMac? What monitor(s) should I look at? I don't need professional photo editing gamut quality and all that but would like a screen not too far away from the superb 5k iMac. I see that Amazon prime days are coming this week and that may be a good time to buy? 

Thanks for any advice

Martin

I’d check eBay for similar spec iMacs and base the price on that. The 1TB flash storage is a big draw.

I just replaced my two two displays with this : Dell Ultrasharp Monitor, DELL-U3219Q,Black https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07H5MR6GD, it’s a bit pricey but it’s absolutely huge and is a 4K display. It also has a USB3 hub built in and a USB-C port

At the cheaper end I bought a Samsung 28” 4K Ultra HD monitor for around £250 (Currys PC World) last year, Works well, connected via HDMI to my newish MacMini. I guess it depends what you want to use it for.

However, my 10year old Apple LED Cinema Display looks just as good beside it!
