How to Price Used Outdoor Gear

Start with the original retail price

Start at the original retail price. Look up what the item sells for new today.

Example: A jacket that originally retailed for $250.

Factor in condition

Use this simple rule of thumb:

Like New (Unused, no visible wear) → Price at 60-70% of retail

Excellent (Lightly used, minimal wear) → Price at 50–60% of retail

Very Good (Light wear, fully functional) → Price at 40–50% of retail

Good (Visible wear, fully functional) ��� Price at 25–40% of retail

Example: $250 jacket in excellent condition = $125–150

Check what similar gear is selling for

Search for the same or similar item online to see current resale prices.

Look for:

• Same brand/model

• Similar age

• Similar condition

If your listing is priced much higher than comparable listings, it may sit.

TIP: Your buyer will be paying for shipping, so take this into account. Shipping can cost $8-$50+ depending on the size of the item. While the buyer is paying for this, it can help if your price is slightly reduced to help cover this cost as well. We are actively working to lower shipping costs as we can!

Be honest about flaws

Small imperfections lower value, but transparency builds trust.

Examples:

• Minor scuffs: reduce 5–10%

• Small repair/patch: reduce 10–20%

(Reminder: items must be fully functional and ready to use to be listed)
