Motocross is a thrilling sport, but it can also be incredibly expensive. For many riders, whether they're professionals or weekend warriors, finding ways to fund their passion is crucial. In this blog, I’ll share my journey of how I made $20,000 selling my old bike parts and gear, and how you can do it too. Let’s dive into the details!
As an ex-privateer and professional motocross racer, I faced constant financial challenges. Competing at a professional level drained my wallet, leaving me scrambling for ways to make extra cash. From 2018 to 2022, I raced on the professional circuit, but I wouldn’t exactly call it a lucrative career. Motocross isn’t just about racing; it’s about the costs associated with it—tires, gas, chains and sprockets, and more. Every dollar counts.
During my racing days, I was always on the lookout for ways to stretch my budget. I had friends who would sell me their old parts for cheap, and I’d flip those for a profit. However, there weren’t many platforms to sell these parts outside of Facebook Marketplace, which often felt sketchy and unreliable. That’s when I discovered MX Locker, a marketplace specifically designed for the motocross community. Think of it as a blend of eBay and Facebook Marketplace, but tailored for motocross enthusiasts. This platform allowed me to sell my old parts without the hassle and uncertainty of traditional marketplaces.
This year alone, I made over $20,000 selling old motocross gear and parts that were just collecting dust in my garage. It’s incredible how many valuable items we tend to overlook. Here’s a simple breakdown of how I did it:
MX Locker has become a game-changer for me. It’s a dedicated platform where motocross enthusiasts can buy and sell gear, making it safer and easier than using Facebook or Craigslist. Here are some reasons why I love using MX Locker:
User-Friendly Interface: The platform is straightforward, making it easy to list items quickly.
This community-driven approach has helped many riders like me turn their unused gear into cash, funding our passion for motocross.
One of the best parts about selling on MX Locker is the potential for profit. For instance, I’ve purchased high-end boots like the SG12 or SG22 for around $400. After using them for six months, I can sell them for the same price, effectively breaking even. This strategy allows me to continually refresh my gear without spending a fortune.
Many riders often throw away perfectly good equipment just because they no longer need it. This is essentially cash being tossed in the trash! Instead, consider selling those items. You’ll be surprised by how much money you can make from gear that’s still in great condition.
Throughout my experience, I’ve realized that many riders aren’t aware of how easy it is to sell their old gear. That’s why I’m sharing this information. Whether you’re looking to make a little extra cash or fund your next race, MX Locker is an invaluable resource. Don’t let your unused parts collect dust—turn them into cash!
In conclusion, selling dirt bike parts can be a lucrative side hustle. Whether you’re a professional or just enjoy riding on weekends, every little bit helps. With platforms like MX Locker, it’s easier than ever to connect with buyers and sell your gear securely.
