Spring is coming and you have decided that your house needs a good purging. Most likely you have some sports equipment or outdoor gear that you no longer use. You don’t want to just throw it away; you would like to make some cash from it. So what do you do?
Classified ads are the best way to list your items and get your outdoor or sports gear sold quickly. All major newspapers have a classified section, so you could contact them or a local paper that is specific to your neighborhood and list the items there. However, in this digital age, most people don’t even bother with physical paper ads anymore, you want to go online and post your items for the biggest response.

Here are few sites where you can list your items, usually for free and start clearing out the clutter of your home or garage:
OutdoorClassifieds.org – This is a specific site that is dedicated to everything outdoors. You can place a free ad in one of dozens of outdoor categories in one of hundreds of cities. The site is a breeze to navigate and place ads for all your outdoor stuff. They offer everything from camping gear to RV’s.
Craigslist.com – This is perhaps the largest online classified website there is. It is free to post your ad here and you simply just choose the “for sale” category and place your items you want to sell. Perspective buyers will then click on either your email or the Craigslist email in your ad to contact you about the details of payment, shipment and pickup.
Outbackadventures.com – Another specialized outdoor website that has a free classified section to post your outdoor gear. Click on “Gear Trader” in the links section and you will be taken to their classified section. The classified section is broken down into categories so it’s easy to find the section your gear will fit into. You will provide contact details when posting the ad so the buyers can contact you.
724outdoors.com – This is another site that is dedicated to all things outdoors. They do have a classified section that can be reached through their main page however this is a paid classified section. You need to become a member of their site first. Once you become a member, you can post ads. If you pay to be a member of the site you can post unlimited ads. If you sign up to be a free member you will have to pay $15 to post a boat ad, and $5 for all other ads. This site may be well worth the fees because it is strictly for outdoor items. There is no need to sift and search for outdoor items because it is all categorized for you.
Those are just a few of the sites offering an outdoor classified section but there are many sites that are specifically all about outdoor gear and equipment and many of those sites also have a For Sale or classified section. It is best to do a search online for the “classified” and “outdoor gear” to get a more extensive list of sites.
