Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (broad reach for outdoor gear), Facebook Marketplace (best for heavy items to avoid high shipping costs), or Mercari.
Selling Tips
Use a lint roller on the black suede portion of the bags before photographing. Emphasize 'Cast Iron Stability' in the title. Because this set is heavy, consider listing on local marketplaces first; if shipping on eBay, use a Large Flat Rate box or UPS Ground to keep costs manageable for the buyer.
