Selling a cricket bat in San Diego
San Diego combines a large naval presence with a beach and outdoor culture and near-constant good weather. Surf and water gear, bikes and camping equipment all move steadily, and none of it has to be stored for a winter.
Collection is by car and the freeways make most of the county reachable, though coastal parking in summer is genuinely difficult. Naming a specific meeting point rather than a neighbourhood saves a lot of circling.
Salt air is hard on metal. Check bolts, bearings and hardware on anything that lived near the coast, and on a used board ask about repairs rather than only about dings.
San Diego, in California, has around 1.4 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Los Angeles, San Jose and San Francisco are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in San Diego
USPS, UPS and FedEx all cover the country. USPS Ground Advantage is normally cheapest for anything under a few pounds in weight; above that the gap narrows quickly.

Getting it ready

Put in the description
- Weight in pounds and ounces, and the size (Harrow, SH, LH)
- Face, edge and toe condition, and any repair
Long and awkward to post, so expect a length surcharge. Wrap the toe and edges well — that is where transit damage lands.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
