Where would be the best place to buy & sell used camping equipment?

Hi Reddit! Very recently I was presented with the opportunity to buy some used camping equipment at some pretty crazy prices. I decided to move on a hunch and buy some of with the intention of reselling it.

Mostly just some authentic 3 x 3 x 2.5m canvas tents, ground sails and Campmaster 5-person canopy tent.

As we moving into winter now, I cannot see why the camping after-market industry will exactly be booming (especially in the Gauteng are) with temperatures as low as they are.

Nevertheless, where would my best bet be to flip some of the equipment I bought. Otherwise just tell me I made a bad decision.

@sakirasame FB marketplace is likely your best bet. I've sold and bought most of my camping stuff from there. I suggest waiting until spring rolls around, though, as people will be scrambling.

@sakirasame You can also try bidorbuy or even gumtree. But gumtree has many bad actors.

@guitar4721 Agree. I Feel safer with FB Marketplace compared to Gumtree
