Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (broadest reach for outdoor gear), Poshmark (better for fashion-focused buyers), and Mercari (quick sales for lower-priced items).
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Gorpcore,' 'Hiking,' 'Quick Dry,' 'Travel,' and 'Lightweight.' Photograph the back pocket to show if it has a zipper (a high-value feature). Steam the garment before photography to remove storage wrinkles for a higher-end look.
