Reverb is the specialist marketplace for musical instruments and gear, with price guides based on real transactions. Buyers pay more for gear here than on general marketplaces.
Vinted charges buyers rather than sellers, so sellers keep the full price. It is huge in Europe and growing in the US, mainly for clothing and accessories.
Every marketplace has a different buyer, fee structure and category strength. Furniture sells locally, sneakers go to authentication platforms, vintage clothing to Depop and Poshmark, and almost everything sells on eBay. Most full-time resellers list on 3 to 5 platforms and use a crosslister to keep inventory in sync. Fees change often, so always verify the current fee page before pricing. The deciding factors usually come down to each tool's standout strength (for Reverb: specialist buyers; for Vinted: no seller fees) weighed against its main drawback (music gear only versus buyers expect low prices).
