GEAR & EQUIPMENT

Outdoor Gear Exchange UK

Sunday 25 February 2018

Today I spent the morning sorting through some gear that no longer fits me and some equipment that I no longer use. I plan to sell these items to raise money to buy new gear for our forthcoming adventures.

I did the same last year using the Facebook group Outdoor Gear Exchange UK and managed to sell three waterproofs, one down jacket, four pairs of trousers and a handful of shirts. This funded a new rucksack and a new stove which were put to use immediately unlike the items I had sold that were languishing in cupboards around the house.

The basic rule of Outdoor Gear Exchange UK is that you sell your items commission free and then make a donation to an MRT of your choice. I find this a better option than eBay because instead of the commission being paid to huge companies as profit you, the seller, can decide where your money goes. Everyone, except for the large company, is a winner!

Already I have identified a tent, a sleeping bag, a pair of trousers and a jacket that I hope to sell this year on the Outdoor Gear Exchange UK and I am sure there will be more when I start looking.

If you are thinking about selling or buying on eBay then I strongly suggest you take a look at Outdoor Gear Exchange UK first.
