Sell

Declutter and sell your sports gear

Sell your pre-loved school uniform, sport/activity wear, equipment, books, musical instruments and more on the marketplace of an organisation you care about

Snap

Take a pic of your pre-loved school, sports or activity item. The better the picture the greater the chance of someone snapping it up

Price

Price it fairly. The goal is to get items back in action, and into the hands of someone who needs it.

Describe

Add in a few details such as the type of activity, size and condition, so others can easily find your item. If possible, please donate some of your item's list price to your preferred organisation. A little makes a big difference.
