FB is a useless format for selling it's too hard to find stuff

I think here is best by far

However I've had a common size board for sale for ages and no takers I wonder if people don't have the coin and are holding onto stuff longer

I've sold a fair bit through Marketplace but the market is not huge so you can't be in a hurry, price stuff reasonably and eventually someone will come along who wants it. I also buy all my used gear through marketplace. What type of board are you currently looking for?

Wind Smurf is right if you browse Marketplace outside of WA you soon realise we have far more choice and the prices seem far more reasonable than over east.

Over here in SE Qld there has been a surge in the numbers of people using foils of some description. There might be less people in the market if they have spent their money on a different toy.

surely that means there will be more equipment to sell since everyones went to foil?

I Agree, the wait time.for new gear is starting to get annoying.l know the cronie stuffed the world up, in terms of getting overseas gear landed in Oz. buying a new race sail these days is hard. I think l'm better of waiting & buy a good used one.

Never had a problem selling or buying gear on Seabreeze. Good kit at a reasonable price will go in a heartbeat. Sell it and maybe take a small financial hit then move on. If everyone adopted that same attitude instead of hanging out for unrealistic top dollar then there would be more items in the marketplace I believe.
Buying is just a matter of regularly checking for what you want and maybe making a compromise on choice if you cant get the exact item you want. If there is something really specific and you can't get second hand then the new market is the go. Wait times for some stuff is crazy though.

Be careful on market place. I have a bunch of gear for sale and keep getting scam buyers. Fortunately I'm not giving out my details.
