What Do I Do With Old Podcast Gear?

One of your fears when you start podcasting is, what if you change your mind? What do I do with my gear? I recently cleared out a closet and found tons of stuff I had bought over the years that were sitting there depreciating, so I have decided to list it on Sweetwater.com's used gear section called "Gear Exchange."

In the same way that eBay charges a fee, so does Sweetwater. From their website, "Gear Exchange transactions have a 2.5% transaction fee and a 5% seller fee.

When you choose a Sweetwater Gift Card as your payout, we will waive both fees! That means more funds available for you to use on purchases at Sweetwater.com.

If you choose Hyperwallet as your payout, then the total seller fees are 7.5%.

Of course, they offer a "No hassle" return policy. From their website:

"No Hassle" Return Policy:

We want you to be completely happy with your purchase. If you are not satisfied with any new product, for any reason, you may return it for a refund of the purchase price or an in-house credit, or you may exchange for another product within a fair amount of time from the shipping date (usually 30 days). If your purchase was eligible for free shipping, the shipping cost will be deducted from your credit or refund.

There are also places like eBay, Facebook Marketplace to sell your gear (and let's not forget, for those getting started, a great place to BUY used gear).

If you're happy with the way you sound, move on. Focus your time on making good content.
