Used hunting, fishing and camping gear, bought and sold by people who use it.
Traders Hill is a marketplace for used outdoor gear. List what is sitting in the shed. Find what you need for less than new. The buyer's money is held until the gear shows up and it is right.
How Traders Hill works
If you are selling
- Take a few photos. The app drafts the listing from them, and you fix anything it got wrong.
- Set your price. Choose shipping, local pickup, or both.
- When it sells, print the prepaid label and ship within 5 days.
- You are paid the full item price once the buyer has it.
If you are buying
- Search by category, brand and condition, or make the seller an offer.
- Pay in the app. Your money is held, not handed to the seller.
- The gear ships with tracking, or you meet the seller and look it over.
- You have 48 hours after delivery to say it is right or report a problem.

Why not just use a classified ad?
- The money is held. The seller is not paid until the buyer has the gear and says it is right, or 48 hours pass after delivery.
- Every shipment is tracked. The seller ships on a prepaid label from the app, so both sides can see where the box is.
- Local pickup has a code. You look the gear over in person. The seller is paid only when you hand over the code.
- A person settles disputes. If a buyer and seller cannot agree, a person at Traders Hill looks at the listing, the photos and the messages and decides.
- No guns and no ammunition. Ever. Listings are screened three ways before they go up.
