【間違えると買取価格が落ちる】収納に困った登山・キャンプ・釣り用品を高く売るポイント

My closet is already full of old camping gear.

You're right, I did keep a lot of troublesome, used gear stored away.

If you have unused gear, you should use a buying service.

I don't use this camping gear.

Don't you have any such items?

Let's sell any unused items.

If you sell it while it's still in season, you might get a better price than you expect.

With a buying service, you can get a high appraisal from home.

It's also a good idea to use shops that are running campaigns to increase their buying prices.

Introducing the buying service, JUST BUY.

Unused tools piled high on shelves

Don't you have any unused tents? Small items you bought thinking they'd be useful, mountaineering equipment of a different genre you received as a gift, old fishing rods.

Aren't they piled high on your shelves?

If you put them away thinking "I might use them someday," they'll rust...

Then you won't be able to sell them.

So, it's better to sell them as soon as you think of it to get a better price.

It's a waste to keep them stored away.

Let's sell them while they still have value.

Tips for selling mountain climbing, camping, and fishing gear at a high price

Whether bought or received, we develop an attachment to tools we've enjoyed together.

When letting go, you want to let go happily.

The best way to do that is to get a high appraisal.

There are tips for getting a high appraisal.

In a nutshell, it's about putting yourself in the mindset of "what kind of product do I want to buy" when you're buying recycled goods.

You want something clean and a new model.

Let me explain in a bit more detail.

Remove as much dirt as possible

Naturally, a cleaner item will receive a higher appraisal than a dirty one.

Deep rust and scratches are unavoidable, but wiped-off dirt should be removed.

It's best to avoid detergents as grease may have been applied.

Melamine sponges can be cleaned with water, so try using them.

Sell as soon as possible, even if you think "I might use it someday."

Maybe I'll use it someday.

You won't use this.

If you haven't used it for two years, you won't use it anymore.

If you don't think you'll use it, don't miss the season and sell it.

What you don't use, someone else might want.

People who want something are looking for a new model.

The same goes for you, right?

So let's get it bought quickly.

Choose a store that offers an increased buying price

When buying home appliances, you visit several stores and buy from the cheapest one, right?

It's the same when selling items.

Get several stores to appraise it, and sell it to the one with the highest appraisal.

While it might be difficult with physical stores, it's easy with online buying services.

There might also be campaigns for increased buying prices, so don't miss out on those to secure the highest possible appraisal.

So if I don't like the free appraisal, I don't have to go through with the purchase, right?

Methods for selling mountain climbing, camping, and fishing gear

The terms recycle, reuse, and reduce have become established.

Today, various services exist, which has created the option to "sell" unused items.

Let's look at some representative services.

Yahoo Auctions

A long time ago, Yahoo Auctions was the only way for individuals to sell unused items online.

The difference from other services is that the seller cannot determine the price.

Rare items and new products might fetch high prices, but if not, they can end up selling for surprisingly low amounts.

If you list something you have an attachment to and it doesn't get a good price, it can be heartbreaking.

Conversely, if a buyer desperately wants an item, especially a seasonal one, it can sell for a surprising price, so it's a high-stakes gamble.

To sell at a high price, you need to carefully observe other sellers, understand the market, and list seasonal items.

Mercari/Rakuma

Flea market sites are currently popular.

Mercari and Rakuma are the most prominent, aren't they?

Many people probably use them.

Each site is working hard to simplify listing and ensure privacy, making it easy to list items.

On the other hand, price negotiations with prospective buyers have become the norm, making it difficult to sell at the listed price, and sometimes leading to wasted time and failed negotiations.

Also, because seller ratings exist, if a complaint is made and the rating is low, it can become difficult to sell.

Shipping costs are often borne by the seller, and for outdoor goods, which tend to be bulky, caution regarding shipping costs is necessary.

Packaging is also a challenge.

Delivery buyback

Second Street (Recycle Shop)

Second Street's buying prices are higher than other recycle shops.

The difference from other companies is the scale of the company; they can buy at higher prices because they have stronger sales capabilities.

However, the amount will be lower than selling on a flea market site.

Flea market sites require you to handle negotiations and shipping yourself, so it depends on how you view that effort.

Those who want to sell quickly for a move should use Second Street, while those who want to sell for a higher price, even if it takes more effort and time, should use a flea market site.

BUY KING (Viking)

Internet buying service BUY KING (Viking)

Viking is a convenient service for families and friends to sell items together for appraisal.

This is because they provide a detailed breakdown of the purchase price for each item, eliminating any sense of unfairness in the appraisal results.

Many other buying services simply list "Product A, Product B" for their appraisal results, making this a unique service among other buyers.

The appraisal speed is also among the fastest in the industry, making it especially recommended for those who need to sell items quickly.

And now, there's a campaign offering up to 10,000 yen as a gift.

You can't miss this opportunity.

Get rid of unwanted items and raise funds for new purchases

A myriad of items lined up on the shelf.

Which campsite did we go to, which mountain, stream, port?

Memories and history are etched into them.

Are you using them?

Tools must long to be used.

Even when beaten by rain or dropped on rocks, they rejoice in being useful to you.

If you have items that see less use, send them to someone who will use them.

Then, with the proceeds, acquire different items and create new history.

More importantly, if you didn't use something this season, will you use it next season? Take this opportunity to sell it and get the item you've been wanting.

For that, JUST BUY is highly recommended.
