How do I sell an Amazon EC2 Reserved Instance on the Reserved Instance Marketplace?

Resolution

If you no longer need an RI, you can sell it to another Amazon EC2 user on the Amazon EC2 Reserved Instances Marketplace. The Reserved Instance Marketplace allows you to set a price for the remainder of the RI term. If another EC2 user purchases the instance, then you receive most of the proceeds from the purchase. The remainder of the term for the sold RI is transferred to the buyer's account.

Note: You must have a US bank account to sell your RIs on the Reserved Instance Marketplace.
