Sports are something we all love and look forward to. We have all had times when our kids beg to play some sport, but you can’t afford it because the gear is expensive! You need to buy the uniform, shoes, gym bag, etc. Not everybody can afford it, which is ok, but nowadays there are some places where we can find everything we need for any sport, super cheap.
We are surrounded by places, whether they are online or physical stores in your local area. They all carry items that you can buy used and sometimes even new at a better price than anywhere else.
Facebook Marketplace
Facebook Marketplace is an online store used worldwide. There are between 1.960 billion people that use it daily. Out of all those people, there has got to be some sports equipment that will work for you. People list items on the Marketplace daily, so if you check daily, I’m sure you could find something within a couple of days; if not, try another place.
Facebook Marketplace is an excellent way to get sports gear because people can choose whatever price they want to sell it for, and most people are open to negotiating price. Some people are moving or just trying to get rid of things super quickly, so they drop the price low so that people will buy the items fast and get them out of their way.
OfferUp
OfferUp, like Facebook Marketplace, offers you the same things (only not as many people are using it daily), but you can still find what you are looking for. People are listing items daily, so checking frequently, you will find the sports gear you need.
Local Pawn shops
Pawn shops are known to have everything you need or want, and some of the items they have will shock you. Pawn Shops have to make money somehow, so they try to buy things for lower prices and sell higher to make a profit. Their selling price is still far better than anywhere else you can get your sports gear, and they are always willing to negotiate. You can just look up “local pawn shops” on google maps, and there is a variety of them. Head to the nearest one or call ahead and check if they have what you need. If not, check back often, because pawn shops take just about any item.
Craigslist
Craigslist is a well-known place to buy and sell items; the main reason is that there are no fees, unlike every other place. People are more likely to negotiate on Craigslist because they can go lower without losing some profit due to fees. This is a great place to find the proper sports gear; they will have the equipment needed for any sport.
eBay
Lastly, there is eBay. It’s undoubtedly one of the best places to buy sports gear. You can order something and get it delivered directly to your doorstep; depending on the item, you may get free shipping. Search what sports equipment or gear you need, and you will find it. You will find the exact sizes you need.
Conclusion
There’s a massive variety of places where we can buy things these days. Most of them you can buy directly from home, and it comes straight to your door. Find the gear your kids need anywhere and let them enjoy their childhood. Depending on what you want to buy, you can find either the “popular” or the cheap stuff. Check prices in multiple places before purchasing; you can compare prices and see the best deal.
