Selling Your Reserved Instances
Topics
This section walks you through how to list and sell your Reserved Instances in the Reserved Instance Marketplace.
As a registered seller, you can choose to sell one or more of your Reserved Instances, and you can choose to sell all of them in one listing. In addition, you can list any type of Reserved Instance—including any configuration of instance type, platform, region, and Availability Zone—as long as the following requirements are met:
You have already paid the upfront cost for the Reserved Instance you are listing.
This means that you can list your Reserved Instance when it is in the Active state. However, keep in mind that a Reserved Instance can be in the Active state before AWS actually receives your payment. If this is the case, the Reserved Instance Marketplace will not allow you to list your Reserved Instance until the payment for the upfront fee is collected.
You have owned the Reserved Instance for at least a month.
There is at least a month remaining in the term of the Reserved Instance you are listing.
You can list the remainder of the Reserved Instance term rounded down to the nearest month. For example, if you have 9 months and 13 days remaining on your Reserved Instance, you can list 9 months for your Reserved Instance.
The Reserved Instance is not a discounted or private Reserved Instance. You cannot list them in the Reserved Instance Marketplace.
To get details about your existing Reserved Instances, you can use any of the following tools:
The Reserved Instances page in the EC2 console of the AWS Management Console.
The ec2-describe-reserved-instances CLI command.
The DescribeReservedInstances API action.
For more information about Reserved Instances, see Reserved Instances.
Pricing Your Reserved Instances
When you're a seller on the Reserved Instance Marketplace, the upfront fee is the only fee that you can specify for the Reserved Instance. The upfront fee is the one-time fee that the buyer pays when the buyer purchases a Reserved Instance. The seller cannot specify the usage fee or the reoccurring fee. The buyer of your Reserved Instances will be paying the same usage or reoccurring fees that were set when the Reserved Instances were originally purchased. This usage fee applies to Light Utilization and Medium Utilization Reserved Instances, and the fee differs depending on which Reserved Instance offering you're using. The reoccurring fee is the hourly fee that you pay for Heavy Utilization, whether you're using the Reserved Instance or not. For more information about the availability of Reserved Instances offerings based on utilization, see Reserved Instances Offerings.
Setting a Pricing Schedule
You can set different upfront fees that are based on when your Reserved Instance sells. You can specify one price if the Reserved Instance sells immediately, and you can specify another price if the Reserved Instance were to sell in any subsequent month. Since the value of Reserved Instances decreases over time, by default, AWS will set prices to decrease linearly—that is, the price drops in equal increments month over month. You can choose to set the prices differently.
For example, if your Reserved Instance has nine months of its term remaining, you can specify the amount you would accept if a customer were to purchase that Reserved Instance with nine months remaining, and you could set another price with five months remaining, and yet another price with one month remaining.
Listing Your Reserved Instance
You can list the Reserved Instances you want to sell in the Reserved Instance Marketplace by using the AWS Management Console, the Amazon EC2 CLI, or the Amazon EC2 API.
AWS Management Console
To list a Reserved Instance in the Reserved Instance Marketplace
Open the Amazon EC2 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/.
Click Reserved Instances in the Navigation pane.
The Reserved Instances page displays a list of your account's instances.
Select the Reserved Instances you want to list on the Marketplace, and click Sell Reserved Instances.
Note
If you have not completed the Reserved Instance Marketplace seller registration process, you will be prompted to complete this process now. For information about the seller registration process, see Registering as a Seller.
In the Configure Your Reserved Instance Listing page, for Number to List, set the number of instances to sell and, for Your Price, set the upfront price for the remaining time period.
You can see how the value of your Reserved Instance will change over the remainder of the term by clicking the arrow on the left of the Months Remaining column. By default, AWS sets the price to decrease linearly. This means the price drops by equal increments each month.
If you are an advanced user and you want to customize the pricing, you can enter a different value for the subsequent months. To return to the default linear price drop, click the Reset button. Click Continue when you are finished configuring your listing.
When you are satisfied with the details of your listing as displayed by the Confirm Your Reserved Instance Listing screen, click List Reserved Instance.
You will get a confirmation that your listing is being processed.
To view the details of your Reserved Instance listing, on the Reserved Instances page, select the Reserved Instance you want to view, and click the My Listings tab in the bottom pane.

Viewing, Canceling, and Changing Your Listings
After listing your Reserved Instances in the Reserved Instance Marketplace, you can manage your listing using the AWS Management Console, the Amazon EC2 CLI, or the Amazon EC2 API. You can view details of your listing. You also can cancel your listing, as long as it hasn't been purchased yet.
Currently, you cannot modify your listing directly. However, you can change your listing by first canceling it and then creating another listing with new parameters.
In this section, we will show you how to perform the tasks of viewing, canceling and changing your Reserved Instance Marketplace listings, using the AWS Management Console (the Amazon EC2 console), the Amazon EC2 CLI, and the Amazon EC2 API.
AWS Management Console
To view your listing
Go to the Reserved Instances page in the Amazon EC2 console and right-click your Reserved Instance.
In the bottom pane, click the My Listings tab. You will see details about the Reserved Instance listing you selected.
To cancel your listing
You can cancel your listing anytime, as long as it's in the active state. You cannot cancel the listing if it's already matched or being processed for a sale. If some of the instances in your listing are matched and you cancel the listing, only the remaining unmatched instances will be removed from the listing.
Go to the Reserved Instances page in the Amazon EC2 console, and right-click your Reserved Instance.
On the My Listings tab, click Cancel Listing.
To change your listing
Cancel your active Reserved Instance listing. For more information, see the previous procedure.
Create a new listing. For more information, see Listing Your Reserved Instance.
Amazon EC2 CLI
