We've just bought a new (to us) house in Oxford, which has an
almost empty garden, except for a 6' Monkey Puzzle tree, which we
want to get rid of - it's not to our taste anyway, but we've got
two kids under 3, and we'd rather not have to fence off a bit of
the garden to keep them away from those spikey leaves. So, two
questions: where should we think about advertising to get the best
price for this, and is there anything we need to do to in
particular to make moving this successful?

My experience with a slightly larger Monkey Puzzle tree in a friends garden
is that they are virtually impossible to move. The roots seem to be very
long and without any fibrous roots along the length, so despite digging a
huge hole around the plant we ended up cutting off most of the roots. It did
not survive in it's new home.
