Greetings.
I do not know whether it is expedient to ask such a question here, but I will try :)
I created some of my pedals and would like to sell them to free up space for new ideas.
I do not know whether someone wants to buy them at Freestompboxes, as they create pedals here themselves, so I want to ask: where else can you sell, except Ebay and Etsy?
P.S. I also registered for a Reverb, but my account for a long time under consideration and appeal to the support service has not decided.

Unfortunately, Reverb is no longer a good marketplace for small pedal-makers. I sold hundreds of custom pedals there, but abandoned it a couple of years ago. Reverb was bought by Etsy, and the rules and processes changed to favor the large commercial vendors, and it became impossible to get noticed in all the noise. I used Etsy for a couple of years too, but only sold a couple of pedals there, it's not where people look for pedals. I haven't tried eBay. Sweetwater has a Gear Exchange but it's aimed at used-equipment sellers.

Well, if this helps to get Reverb killed I can't wait. Let that platform die as soon as possible and never return. The way Reverb shows list pricing but never the actual selling price caused general prices for gear to go up like crazy as for many those list prices were interpreted as "that's what they're worth". It used to be fun buying 2nd hand effects, playing them, tracing them or whatever but with what Reverd did to pedal prices one almost needs an FSB tracers fund to trace a Joyo TS clone. ....
Sorry. Plain out of planes.

There's a trick to seeing actual prices rather than wish-upon-a-star prices.

1. Search for your target item.
2. In the search results, look for the "All Filters" option at the top. Click it.
3. Scroll down to "Show Only." Click it, then click "Sold Listings", then click "Show Results" at the bottom.
4. Sort results as you like, either "Most Recent First" or "Price Low to High."

This will show you the sold items and their prices. It's not perfect, since it doesn't show offers made and accepted below the listed prices, but it's better than just the unsold item prices.
