Where do you sell used hydro equipment?

Hey All,

I know this is a sort of taboo subject around here (selling stuff), and I don't want to be accused of shilling my own stuff for sale, I just really need advice. Where do you post to sell used hydro gear? Craigslist just isn't getting me much action.

I've spent the last year building a fairly nice 8 site perpetual PPK in a 5x10 tent, but now I've got to stop growing herb. Ive poured many thousands into the project, and know I'll only get a fraction of it back, but I'd LOVE for it to go to someone who may actually use it, you know? Building a nice PPK is sort of expensive, and I worked hard to track down the best materials and put together something that really worked well. I can aways just "part it out", and sell the lights, tents, and expensive gear all individually - I'd probably get more money that way - but I'm more interested in getting rid of it as a package. I haven't been asking ridiculous money either, about 1/3 of what i have receipts for (and there's a lot more I'm including).

Am I nuts? Should I just part it out? Are there any sites out there that might be better for this than Craigslist?

Any help is appreciated!!!

I've sold some hydro gear on craigslist in the past. probably not the safest avenue...don't get robbed

Haha, yeah, I was a little worried about that. I'm hoping if I can find a serious buyer, I can do a "face-time" chat with them to show the gear off and get a better sense that they're not going to shoot me. lol.

good luck ..home made stuff don't re sell well,even reg stuff sells cheaply....

I know :( But I'd rather it go out to someone who MIGHT use it, instead of just getting recycled. Heck, I have over 40 of these in there to tie all the buckets together, that's like $400 just in bulkhead fittings: http://www.amazon.com/Banjo-Polypropylene-Bulkhead-Fitting-Female/dp/B0079JU3J8

In case you're curious, here's the big tent looking ugly after I was overrun with mites :( https://vid.me/AF9 (video says $2500, I'm now at $1500 on craigslist)

drive a friend's car (with their permission) and meet in the parking lot of the local police precinct...can't imagine a safer spot to buy and sell something :laughing:

if you post on Craigslist (you may already know this, just saying)

Don't post your phone number in the add, have them email you theirs, and you call them from a restricted ph ie one that doesn't show your #.
Don't invite them over lol meet them in the day.
take a camera with you like your phone lol...
and post: 'cash only' no money order or paypal or bank wire lol...

btw some hydro stores have a BB board for posting used gear...
Good Luck
