Auction boards have been popular for some time and still remain so. However, they suffer from several drawbacks. They can be complex and time-consuming to set up, you have to work out postage in advance for your items, you may not get the price you want, there is little chance for negotiation, getting responses from buyers and sellers is often tedious (and you don't always know where they are located), and there are many extra options for sellers, all of which add to the cost and effort of selling something. Before the Internet and the World-Wide Web, people used classified ads in newspapers or in the local newsagent's window. gear4sale is just like the classified ads - simple and quick. However, we add one extra feature to protect ourselves in this day and age of cybercrime and identify theft - we ask that you do not put your personal contact details in your ad and, instead, contact the buyer/seller through the in-built private messaging (PM) function. Once contact has been established away from the prying eyes of the hacker, you may exchange whatever details you like.

This is yet another important difference between us and the auction sites - you deal direct. We don't handle the transaction, only the ad. That means that we don't take a cut. Yes, seriously, whatever you buy and sell for, the price is of no consequence to us. We have a few simple rules (our T&Cs) which you should read and agree to when you register. It is all common-sense and designed to protect you and us. Oh, and by the way, there is no registration or membership fee so you've got nothing to lose.
