Because we love giving gear new life by rescuing it from church closets, restoring it in our tech lab, and reselling it to churches and individuals around the globe.

Yes you can! Here is how!

• Taking Pictures: Take tons of photos to get every inch of the gear covered.
• Listing the Gear: Set up accounts on Reverb, eBay, Facebook MarketPlace, and anywhere else you might want to sell online. Next, list all the details down to the detail so you can prevent customer questions and post purchase complaints.
• Testing the Gear: Test every piece of gear to make sure it’s ready to work for the person you’re selling it to.
• Answering Customer Questions: Be ready to respond to all the questions that come in so you can make the sale.
• Shipping the Gear: Finally, ensure you have all the materials and shipping expertise to ship it safely and in working condition.

I’m exhausted! How about you? ChurchGear is here to help.

No way! We will offer you fair market price for your gear that also takes into consideration the effort we put into picking it up, making repairs, finding buyers to resell to, shipping it all over the world, etc.

All kinds of gear! Mixers, power amps, compressors, EQs, digital effects, wireless mic systems, in-ear monitor set-ups, microphones, speakers, snakes, rack gear, video cameras, video switches, stage lights, moving lights, lighting boards, projectors, digital video recorders, cassette decks, keyboards, drum sets, hand bells, etc.

ChurchGear doesn't buy gear at the highest price it can be sold. You can make the most money by selling it yourself. We will list those steps below. The value we provide is a solution to sell it all at once, reclaim your closet space, and finally mark “sell our old gear” off your to do list.

ChurchGear is here to help. Let’s be realistic, the money we can pay your church at a wholesale price now is more money than you’ll make than if the gear continues to sit in your church’s closet. You’re doing the important work of ministry. You don’t have time to add “production gear seller” to your job description too!

Yes. We will pick up from any church in the contiguous 48 states. Sorry Hawaii and Alaska, we will keep dreaming!

As much as we would love to be able to make a personal visit to each person who wants to sell us gear, it's just not always possible for us to do that. Our pickups need to meet a minimum threshold of $2,500 dollars, this could be one item or 100 items!  We do offer the option of shipping us the gear at our expense if it can be shipped safely via UPS.  If you go that route, we can create a shipping label and send it your way. Don’t worry. ChurchGear isn’t consignment. You’ll get paid the moment the gear arrives at our warehouse undamaged and is checked in safely, not when it sells. You can start your gear list here!

We acquire gear in one of two ways. The first way is we send a driver to your location to pick up your gear. The second way is you ship the gear to our warehouse. Once we’ve picked up the gear in person or received it at our warehouse via shipment, an electronic payment will be initiated from our bank that same business day.

No. We pay for your gear within the same business day that we either pick the gear up from you or within the same business day that we receive your gear from you shipping it to us. ChurchGear doesn’t make any money until we resell the gear. You’re paid upfront and regardless of if we resell it or not.

Shipping gear safely is no easy matter. In fact, this is one of the reasons many people buy from us because we’ve been shipping gear safely for over 15 years. If you ship the gear to us you’ll be responsible for packing the gear safely. For this reason, we don’t advise you to ship.

We price gear based upon the current market values of the gear. For this reason, our offers do expire after 60 days.

1. We come pick it up.

• If your gear list hits our minimum pickup threshold of $2,500 and you are geographically located where our drivers are routed, we will schedule a time to come pick the gear up from your church. If your gear list hits our “anchor” status of $20,000 or more, we will schedule a pickup with your church regardless of your location in the 48 contiguous states.

2. You can ship it to us.

• We do offer the option of shipping us the gear at our expense if it can be shipped safely via UPS. If you go that route, we can create a shipping label and send it your way. Don’t worry. ChurchGear isn’t consignment. You’ll get paid the moment the gear arrives at our warehouse undamaged, not when it sells.

3. Yes! You can bring it to our warehouse in Franklin TN.

• We are located 30 minutes south of Nashville TN. You are more than welcome to bring the gear directly to our warehouse with a scheduled appointment. Once you submit your gear list and your offer is finalized, you can schedule your appointment. Submit your gear list today to get started! Submit your gear list today.

There isn’t one. ChurchGear exists to serve the church production community and buying gear from churches is one of the ways we fulfill this mission. You’re under no obligation to accept our offer! We want what is best for your church and are a wholesale solution for this problem all churches face. If you don’t think our wholesale offer is what’s best for your church, please feel free to decline it! Also, if we pass on your gear or certain pieces of gear, please take this as your “due diligence” to move on from the gear. You can let your pastor know you checked its value and it can be donated, thrown away or e-wasted.

We consistently evaluate the used gear market place and use our data to make decisions on what gear is still desired by the market. In fact, we commonly see gear prices move every 6 months depending upon the piece of gear, new releases and quantity of the gear on the market. For anything we pass on, take this as your permission to either donate, recycle or trash the remaining gear.  By coming to ChurchGear to vet your gear you have completed your due diligence as to the value of your gear. This can provide peace of mind to both you and your leadership that you’re making the right decision on your gear.   When we pass on an item that doesn’t automatically mean it is completely useless. However, it does mean that the demand for it is either gone, very low or doesn’t fit our business model.

When your church purchases a piece of gear at churchgear.com, you will receive a 6 month warranty on your item. If it stops working properly, breaks down, or has another issue from standard use, ChurchGear has you covered. We will work to troubleshoot and repair over phone or email, order replacement parts, swap the item for a replacement of the same make and model or if all else fails, offer a return for a full refund. Our warranty is only available to churches who purchase on churchgear.com at the advertised price.

Our 30-day return policy applies to any purchase made on churchgear.com. From the day your gear arrives at your doorstep, you have 30 days to love it. If you are dissatisfied for any reason or simply don’t want to keep it, you are welcome to return the item in the same condition  in which it arrived for a full refund of the purchase price. For any items not as advertised, ChurchGear will cover the return shipping costs. If you change your mind on an item you purchased, you will be responsible for all shipping costs. There are no restocking fees on any items received back in the original condition. The return must be initiated and the item shipped with online tracking within 30 days of the date the item arrived to you.

We do not do trade-ins or consignment; we pay for gear in full. However, you can submit a gear list here and we can make an offer on the gear you'd like to sell us. After we've bought the gear from you, you can use that money to buy gear from our site.

We ship all non-freight items within two business days. Shipments go out quickly so they can arrive at your door fast. You will receive an online tracking number for your shipment so you can track its progress all the way to your doorstep. Freight items go out within 3-5 business days and a tracking number will be sent to you in the shipping confirmation email.

At ChurchGear, we sell and ship all sorts of fragile and delicate equipment. Each and every piece is unique which means it requires a unique packaging job. Our warehouse support has been packing and shipping production gear for over 15 years. We use tons of bubble wrap, protective corners, heavy duty styrofoam and anything else necessary to make sure your gear arrives safely.

Our local pickup policy requires payment to be completed before we schedule a pickup. At the pickup time, we will set up the equipment to be tested (you can bring your own items as needed or use some of our gear to test). If you are unsatisfied with the equipment test, we would refund you and keep the item if you decide to not move forward. Since eBay, Reverb and our site protects the purchase for you with a return guarantee, we have found this process to work well for everyone.

Anywhere UPS goes, we go.

In order to best serve our global customers, we have small parcel shipping through UPS International shipping. However, some places are hard to reach, even in our ever growing international market. We have competitive rates in the United States and Canada, as well as Western Europe, East Asia, Australia/Oceania, South America, and more! Countries in Africa, Greater Asia, and parts of South America are still reachable, but can be expensive places to ship your item.

Items over 150 lbs./70 kg. or other items considered freight are currently only available for our customers in the United states and Canada, but we are steadily working to expand our market for our large items!
