USED & ABUSED

A Kinky Sale, Swap, & Social

Clean out your toybag, upgrade your gear, or come hunt for something wickedly affordable.

Kinky garages sales, rummage sales, and swap meets are a great way to find items to round out your kinky attire or toy bag. So make sure to join in a community rummage-style sale featuring leather, kink gear, clothing, accessories, toys, books, décor, and other deliciously pre-loved treasures.

Buy. Sell. Swap. Socialize. Learn. Explore

This event is not focused on traditional vendors. You should find lower prices. Just community members passing along gear, finds, and fetish-friendly bargains.

What might be sold or swapped? Some ideas include leather gear, clothing, boots, vests, harnesses, collars, cuffs, and accessories, kink/BDSM equipment and toys, fetish wear and alternative clothing, kinky or community arts and crafts, books, educational materials, décor, storage items, and related lifestyle goods, handmade or small personal items related to our community. This event is not intended for commercial vendors, professional retail booths, or large inventory businesses.

Donating Items / Few Items

Have one or few Items? Don't want to sell them? What can you do?

• If you do not want to sell items, and want to give them away, you can provide them to NM-REAL, Inc., a 501c3, federally recognized charitable organization. Write to office@nm-real.org. We can pick them up.

• If you have one or a few items to sell, consider teaming with others to watch your collective items. We will organize a Cooperative Vending Area for such collective team sales for people with few items. This will be a great social experience in itself. If you want to participate in that, please indicate it in the form below.

What to Bring
