    Default Used gear

    I am trying to sell used gear. Both WB and Hammock forum require a certain number of post before you can sell gear. I guess I don't talk enough. Where is another place to sell used gear besides good ole Craigslist?

    No I am not playing. I'll edit out what I am trying to sell if I can figure it out. I was looking for simple advice. Facebook groups? Just general used gear sites. I am also looking to buy other items as well but thank you for the advice.

    there are 4 or 5 facebook groups. gearRat Outdoors and backpacking gear flea market are best. avoid bearfoots (many many bad experiences there).

    If you breath the wrong way in barefoots Facebook group you get blocked. It is absolutely ridiculous.

    Actually you can post gear for sale items on this website. If you join and become a contributing member you get to list your gear for sale without the minimum post requirement.

    You're only 10 posts or so away from the 30 required. Just saying.

    I've gotta say, I've never had problems there. I know a lot of people on't like it, but I've sold a TON of stuff on there. Lot's of members = easy to sell stuff.

    +1, it is what it is. Most valid forums do this, to keep the "just want to sell" crowd away. If you're a hiker, I'm sure you have some good questions to ask...none of us are perfect or know everything. Shouldn't be too hard to get that needed ten postings to get to the minimum.
