![]() If you’re okay with doing your own selling to a highly targeted audience in exchange for the most profit, this could be a great way to sell bigger-ticket items like that Zipp wheelset you just don’t use anymore. The rReQwip model is more similar to Craigslist than The Pro’s Closet: transactions are pickup-only (as opposed to shipping with the other companies) though reQwip does offer a delivery service, too. This one is currently in beta in Austin, Texas, with plans to expand to other major cities including San Francisco and Washington, DC. ReQwip is an app for buying and selling your used cycling (and triathlon) gear. They have a $5 minimum commission to process any item. For higher dollar items (like bikes/wheelsets) they have a tiered system that reduces their commission down to 10% of the remaining balance beyond $400 on any item. How much do you get? Their commission rate is 25% of the final sale price (plus eBay/PayPal fees). It’s simple, and unless you’re an eBay freak who loves to watch (in which case, just sell it on your own at home), it’s pretty much hands-off once you send the box. ![]() From there, you get e-mail notifications about when things are listed and when they’re sold, and they send you checks as it goes (though if you send a bunch of things, expect a few checks for batches of items). Selling with these guys starts simply: Let them know what you have to sell, and they’ll send you a FedEx label so you can ship your stuff for free. How much does it cost? Pro’s Closet keeps 30% of the first $500 and then 15% of the remaining amount per item (Paypal, eBay or Amazon fees apply). You e-mail them to plan out sending in your stuff (or drop it off, if you live in Colorado), they post it to eBay, and you can sit back and wait for your check to come. The original secondhand gear store for cyclists originated in (no surprise) Boulder, Colorado. Admittedly, you’re not going to get rich using any of these services, but you can get better organized and recoup a bit of cash, even if it’s going to get poured right back into race fees or that new pair of gloves you’ve been eyeing.Īnd the added bonus? If you’re not planning to sell anything but you are in the market for any cycling gear, these companies are all worth checking out for their great deals! Sending gently-used gear away for resale is a great way to a) clean out some space, b) make some cash, and c) convince your spouse that you don’t have that much stuff and clearly need a new jersey/tights/wheelset/bike.
