Where do you sell your used equipment?
« on: January 23, 2017, 01:43:47 PM »
I've not had much luck on the bowling sites selling equipment. maybe it's gotten to the point you can't? I've actually had someone offer my 10 bucks shipped for a asking price of 50 shipped on a newer release.

When you leave an old ball on the rack, do you leave it there for someone to take for their own use? I have over the years seen many "name balls " on the rack wondering if someone would be considered a theif if they grabbed it. Good for you guys though that can leave a ball there for somebody to use.

I usually sell or give my older used balls to friends.  If I have one no one wants, then since I bowl on a military installation, I will look for an open bowler to give a ball to. 

I have left some on the ball racks in the past - they disappear fast, because I will go and look to see if they are still around after a couple of weeks and I can't find them.  :)

If I "donate" to local jr bowlers, can this be considered a charitable tax deduction?  It may be my best value!

They would have to have tax exempt status, your local juniors program probably isn't a qualified organization.

I've tossed a couple in the trash and have given a couple to friends, but usually I will leave them on the ball racks at the alley if they are in decent shape.  Lot of name balls on the racks where I bowl, so obviously others are leaving them also.

this and....

I sold 22 balls within 2 years?  I sold more than half locally and surrounding cities outside of sac town. I spread the word through "networking" lol. And going to leagues that friends of mine were in and talking to those bowlers. I just had to do the work.. posting on social media and online sales is like casting your fishing rod/line/hook waiting for a bite. I don't fish like that!! I'm from the islands, I spear fish!! I go into the water and look for fish! lol

My son is a Freshman on the team this year (Varsity!) and I've already donated 3 balls to the team.  I gave the coach a list of what I had and told him if anyone on the team doesn't have one and wants one, they are welcome to it.

Other than that, various facebook groups.  Although for used stuff, I find myself trading more than selling these days.
