/r/longboarding's Weekly BUY/TRADE/SELL Thread - {{date %B %d, %Y}
- r/longboarding and its' moderators are in NO WAY responsible for ANY issues encountered while Buying, Trading or Selling items.
Below is an example of a good post:
-

-
Location: Manila, Philippines
-
74mm, 58mm Contact Patch
-
8/10 Condition
-
NO Flatspots, NO coning
-
Slight chunking on the lip
-
Worn down to ~73mm
As a SELLER:
-
Post your State/Country and where you are willing to ship to.
-
Post a description that accurately describes what you are selling. Be as descriptive as possible!
-
Post both the item condition, and pictures of the item.
-
Be prepared to answer questions about your items!
-
Update your thread when something gets sold, or is no longer available.
-
Be prepared to handle shipping arrangements. While it's perfectly fine to ask for extra cash for shipping, ensure you already know the approximate cost for anyone who asks.
-
Be careful with your personal information.
-
Once you've successfully completed the transaction, and your buyer has received the item, ask them to add you to the VERIFIED LIST
As a BUYER:
-
Respond to the seller's communication
-
Be truthful about your intentions. Nothing is worse for a seller than answering a whole lot of questions about gear, and then having a buyer drop off the map.
-
Be careful with your personal information.
-
Once you've successfully completed the transaction, and you have received your item, add your seller to the VERIFIED LIST
-
And some final suggestions to make this easier for everyone involved:
-
PayPal is the recommended way to transfer cash. However, the choice is up to you, and your buyer.
-
Please try to evaluate a fair price for your items. Secondhand prices are always hard to evaluate, but here are some tips to find a good price:
-
Take a look at online stores to work out the MSRP. Don't expect to make this unless your item is new.
-
Consider the wear on the item.
-
Consider the age of the item. Even if they're still in the box, 10 year old bearings aren't worth much...
Happy Selling!
