 Poster: A snowHead
|
I have a helmet, Julbo, can't recall model but it's certified for both ski/snowboarding and mountaineering (apparently). I've used it maybe 3 days, but probs 2. No knocks, no damage. I just couldn't ever get on with the fit. Mrs U has the same model and gets on fine so it's clearly just my head.
I know that charity shops etc., don't accept helmets as donations - can I reasonably sell this online?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

You can sell it if you are 100% honest about it and price accordingly.
Personally, I wouldn't buy a display model helmet let along a 2nd hand one. Not worth the risk. But each to their own!

Key question is not can you sell it, but who would buy it.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@Fridge03, but how old is your current lid?

There are 2 things that adversely effect the resale value of any helmet
1. The fear of undisclosed damage
2. The accretion of mung
Neither can be mitigated against alas.
But GLWS.

Of course you can in those circumstances. I wouldn't sell one myself that I know had taken a heavy knock. But I'd happily sell my current 4 year old one as I know it hasn't other than the old bosh from chair lift etc.
I wouldn't buy a used one though but plenty would.

I’ve actually just replaced mine after a few years use. But the difference is. I know it’s history. I’ve looked after it. It’s not gone in checked baggage.

I've bought a few used lids locally. My current lid is second hand, but looks like it has never been used. Give them the once over before parting with cash, I go by the belief that a significant impact will most likely have left significant marks/ damage to the outside of the helmet. I'm reasonably trusting of others and wouldn't sell a crashed lid myself either. I have a few kids ones that will be getting advertised locally soon as the little heads are getting bigger and I will have no problem selling them on. They have been worn on three trips, and have been packed in checked baggage. I'm happy for my kids to still wear them so happy to sell them as such.
I'm all for the used market though, your cash goes a lot further in general and it's less stuff being produced.
I did buy a new helmet for my wife though, cause finding a used one to fit her comfortably proved just too elusive!
