Sharesson is a niche peer-to-peer online resale marketplace of preowned and new quality outdoor products for environmentally conscious outdoor enthusiasts.
Yes, there are other marketplaces and online shops for preowned and secondhand products.
Selling secondhand and buying preloved products has become increasingly popular. People understand the environmental damage that newly produced goods have on our planet, and therefore want to keep products circulating, and in use for longer. This also helps people save a buck or make a buck on the way.
You might be thinking: What makes Sharesson different from other marketplaces and why should you use it instead of the other ones?

Rent, before you buy
You can rent products and make sure you really like them before you actually buy them. As a seller, you might want to rent out your gear instead of selling it – it’s totally up to you. You might like your tent and you’d feel happy if someone enjoyed it too. As a seller, you chose if you want to sell your gear, rent your gear or do both.
