Planet Zero Gravity is an online auction site catering to the ‘action sports’ market. What do we define as Action Sports? – Skiing, snowboarding, whitewater kayaking, kite boarding, surfing, mountain biking, and climbing.

We decided to build this site as an alternative place to go and buy or sell sports gear at. Up to this point, your options in the marketplace were limited or undesirable, especially if you wanted to unload some used equipment. As a seller, you could go to one of the few existing auction sites and pay not only a fee to list your equipment, but also a fee based on what your item sold at (if it did). To make matters worse, there are few if any auction sites that just specialize in sports gear.

Your other option as a seller would be to list your equipment on a classified ad site or gear swap site (usually the same thing). The good news about these sites is they are often free to use; the bad news is that there are a ton of them on the internet. Another problem with selling something via a classified ad is it’s more work for the seller than putting an item up for sale on an auction. Why?…with a classified ad potential buyers are always calling or emailing if the item is still for sale, trying to negotiate a better price, and you will never sell it for more than the price you listed it at.

At the Planet Zero Gravity Auction Site:

1) Sellers can put an item up for sale with a basic listing FOR FREE! This includes the listing, up to 3 pictures, and the option to set a ‘Buy it Now’ Price and/or a ‘Reserve’ Price. The only fees we charge sellers for are a ‘Featured’ category listing or to make your ad ‘Bolded’.

2) Once the auction is over, your item is no longer listed. This means no phone calls asking if it is still available.

3) You have the possibility to make more money selling your item than anticipated. If you are selling equipment that is in demand, the bidding may go up higher than you would have received selling it for a fixed price in a classified ad.

4) You can read feedback on buyers and sellers before doing business. This feature is usually not available on classified ad sites.
