Hey folks!

This is not really a topic strictly related to making your own gear, but I was wondering if any of you could point me in the right direction. I used to own a small cottage gear company that I closed a few years ago.  I have a bunch of equipment and materials that are just sitting around and I was wondering if any of you excellent folks might know some places where people might be interested in taking some of it off my hands?

I browsed the gear deals section in this community, but it just didn’t seem to fit quite right there. Any insights you can share are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Dear mods: sorry for the off topic question. I’m not trying to sell here, just looking for pointers in the right direction. I’m happy to post my question elsewhere if there is a better location. Thanks.

I’d post in the ” Gear Deals”.  Posts there are deleted after 30 days saving them from being archived. You could always repost. I don’t think it would go unnoticed as I think many here do as I do and click on ” Recent Forum Topics”. As long as it’s backpacking related, which it sounds like it is.

specifically what gear and materials are you trying to get rid of and how much do you want for them?

You can post stuff for sale in the gear swap section.

Thanks! I’ll make a post in the gear swap forum and see what happens. @Jerry Adams, I have a little of everything materials wise. I have buckles, webbing, fabrics foam, thread, etc. My business was making packs, so if it’s related to pack making I probably have it. Equipment wise, I’ve got 3 industrial sewing machines, fabric cutters, grommet press, and more. I’ll try to get some of it posted over the weekend. Feel free to PM me if you have any specific questions.

Thanks again!
