Used camping gear in Dundee typically sells for £20 to £150 (about $27 to $200). Camping gear sells best as a coherent bundle for one type of trip, so group by use rather than throwing everything unrelated into one lot.
Camping gear and outdoor gear cover the same ground here - tents, sleeping bags, rucksacks, stoves, and hiking and climbing kit.
Selling camping gear in Dundee
Dundee was built on jute, jam and journalism and has reinvented itself around a design museum on the waterfront, two universities and a video games industry that started here and remains significant. The waterfront redevelopment has changed the city entirely.
Two universities clear student housing each June, and the games and design sector moves people on project cycles. Home-office and computing equipment turns over faster here than the city’s size would suggest.
The waterfront and the city square are the landmarks everyone uses and the centre is compact. The city climbs steeply away from the river, so ask about steps for anything heavy.
On computing and games equipment, ask its age and whether it ran under load. Development hardware here is often well specified but has worked far harder than a home machine of the same year.
Dundee, in Scotland, has around 148,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
