Selling Guide

eBay (broadest reach for gear), Pinkbike Buy/Sell (highly targeted MTB community), Poshmark (good for footwear), or Mercari.
Selling Tips
Clean the synthetic leather with a damp cloth and use a soft brush on the mesh tongue to remove debris. Take clear photos of the outsoles to show the level of 'pin wear' (holes from pedal pins). Highlight the 'Primaloft' and 'Insulated' features in the title to attract winter riders.
