ShareGrid offers a fantastic platform for buying both new and used gear. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to secure your desired items:

Understanding the Seller:

  1. Seller's Profile: Before purchasing, check out the seller's profile for essential information about them.

  2. Feedback & Reviews: Read reviews from previous transactions to gauge the seller's reliability and the quality of their gear.

Secure Payments:

  • Rest assured, ShareGrid offers secure payment methods to ensure safe transactions.

Try Before You Buy:

  • If you’re unsure about the gear, consider renting it first to test its functionality and suitability.

Ways to Secure Your Item:

Buy It Now:

  1. Look for the "Buy It Now" button on the listing.

  2. The seller’s predetermined price will be displayed above this button.

  3. Click "Buy It Now" to initiate your purchase.

Make an Offer:

  1. Some listings feature a "Make an Offer" option, indicating the seller’s willingness to negotiate.

  2. Select this option, enter your offer, and await the seller’s response.

  3. The seller has 24 hours to accept your offer, present a counteroffer, or decline your offer.

  4. You’ll receive a notification about the seller’s decision.

After an Agreement: What’s Next?

Local Pickups:

  • Once a price is agreed upon, the transaction moves to the Inspection phase. Arrange a meeting with the seller, inspect the gear, and finalize the deal.

Shipped Items:

  • If the item needs to be shipped, the seller will pack and send it, providing you with a tracking number to monitor its delivery. For more details, check out our shipping guidelines.
