Have a bicycle/tricycle/unicycle you’re looking to sell but don’t want to commit to a vendor space? Scoop up a spot on the bike rack & leave it to us.
“Set it and forget it “option“: If you have a complete, ready-to-ride bike that you want to sell at our swap meet but don’t want to hang out all day, we offer a “Set It And Forget It” option. You can leave your bike for us and we will sell it on your behalf. The cost of this service is $5 per bike plus 15% of your sell price. If your bike does not sell, we will notify you and you will be responsible for picking it up between 4-5pm. Any “Set It And Forget It” bikes that do not get picked up by 5:00pm become donations to HBL.
Both Standard Vendor and Half Spaces come with the option to borrow equipment (for no additional charge!):
- 6' table to show off your stuff
- Pop-up bike rack to display your bike(s)
On top of your designated space to swap/sell bike stuff hibernating in your home,
- Promotion of your goods for sale to all of HBL's cycling audience
- A bike-minded community! Opportunity to mingle, meet others with similar interests
- Great chance to offload items taking up space in your house!
- Feel good knowing someone will get to use the stuff you've been holding on to
- Great spring cleaning opportunity- donate what you don't want to take back home to a local nonprofit!
Application Deadline: Sunday, June 30, 2024, 11:59pm HST.
*EXTENDED* VENDOR DEADLINE: July 4th (Thursday), 11:59pm (HST)
Additional Vendor Details:
Promotion:
Vendors should be prepared to give us a picture & some of descriptions of their items to promote and generate excitement on social media ahead of the event. Help us help you get the word out about the stuff you want to sell!
Pricing/Transactions:
Vendors are responsible for the creation of their own prices as well as handling transactions at their booth. Please price your bike(s) to sell. We suggest using bike blue book and/or Pinkbike, and pricing fairly so your bike doesn’t come home with you!
All vendors should be prepared to share a ballpark estimate of their earnings with HBL after the event. (This info will help us plan for future swap meets!)
Don’t want to haul back unsold items after the swap? You can donate any unsold bikes and components after the swap meet to HBL. HBL will use these donations for funding, within our programs, or we will distribute them to other local nonprofits as needed. Material donations to HBL are tax deductible. Be sure to follow IRS rules for non-cash charitable contributions.
If you have any questions about donating to HBL, please call 808-735-5756 or email bicycle@HBL.org.
