Used rucksacks in Gilbert typically sell for $20 to $100. Rucksacks are bought on capacity in litres and sold on the state of the zips — a failing main zip is the single most common reason a good bag is worth very little.
Selling a rucksack in Gilbert
Gilbert grew from a farming town into one of the fastest-growing municipalities in the country within a generation, and it is master-planned, modern and almost entirely suburban. It sits in the desert south-east of the state capital.
Very rapid growth means young families are constantly setting up households and outgrowing children’s equipment. Sun damage here shortens the life of anything kept outdoors considerably.
The town is laid out on a grid for driving with generous parking, so anything large is straightforward. Extreme summer heat makes an early morning slot sensible.
Gilbert, in Arizona, has around 270,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Phoenix, Tucson and Mesa are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Gilbert
Demand rises through the spring cleaning season and again around college move-in in August, when furniture and small appliances move fastest.

Brand, capacity and type: “Osprey 45L Travel Rucksack, Cabin Size” or “Waterproof Cycling Rucksack, 25L”. Litres is the search term. If it is cabin-compliant for a specific airline size, say so — that brings in buyers with a trip already booked.
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.

Is it actually waterproof?
Say what you have observed rather than what the label claims. Coatings degrade, and a bag described as waterproof that wets through is a real complaint.
