Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay and Facebook Marketplace are the best options. eBay reaches a national audience of players looking for a deal on high-end gear; Facebook Marketplace allows for a local cash sale to avoid high shipping costs on bulky items.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Nike Elite Basketball,' 'Official Size 7,' and 'Indoor Court Ball.' Because it's heavy and bulky, consider offering 'Calculated Shipping' on eBay or 'Local Pickup' on Marketplace to maximize profit. Ensure you photograph the valve area to show it's clean and unused. Keep the ball inflated for photos to show it holds air perfectly.
