We all know the frustrations that come with second-hand marketplaces - as a buyer you see something you like, but then it’s a back and forth between you and the seller about the price, when you can come and pick up the item (you might even need to hire a driver with a pickup truck if the item is too large for your car), many times the seller will live on the other side of town, and then finally when you view the item it might not be in the condition you expected it to be in. The same can be said for parents trying to spring-clean and declutter some of baby’s gear they’ve outgrown. It’s an effort to list your items and having to deal with the non-stop text messages and phone calls from potential buyers. It’s also tricky to find a time when you’re both available to do the handover and you never seem to have the correct change in cash. All this requires time and energy that you really just don’t have as a parent.
This is where we come in, we’ll do all the work for you. We inspect and vet, clean and photograph all items before listing them on our website so you know exactly what you’re getting. You can pay online and our courier partner will deliver your items to you - making secondhand gear shopping a breeze. For sellers, we’ll pick up your items when listing them so you can get your space back. You’ll also be paid electronically after the sale of the item - no hassle.
Babies and toddlers require a lot of gear, most of which they outgrow very quickly. As we declutter for the next stage of our childrens’ lives, many items that are still in perfect condition end up in landfills. As parents ourselves, we want to create a sustainable future for our children. One way to help do this is to reduce the environmental impact by creating a circular economy. Our re-commerce model is not only better for the environment, but also helps reduce the financial impact of raising children.
The Secondgear curated marketplace helps give loved baby and toddler gear a second life.
