A less awkward way to sell
Private marketplaces can work, but they often involve writing an advert, answering similar questions several times, arranging viewings and dealing with uncertain buyers. Zarax gives you a single route from the first description through to inspection and payment.
The process is deliberately straightforward. Share accurate information and clear photographs, then we can decide whether the item is something we want to buy. Read how a Zarax quotation progresses before you begin if you would like the full picture.
What shapes the offer
A precise model matters, but it is only one part of the assessment.
Include the complete detail shown on the item rather than relying on a broad product family.
Mention what is present, what works and anything that a photograph alone may not explain.

An honest description helps avoid surprises when the item is inspected. Our guide to how condition can influence an offer explains why small details are worth including.
From first detail to payment
Add the exact model, specifications, condition and clear photographs.
If we are interested, we will discuss the details and agree a price with you.
If Zarax is interested, an appropriate collection may be arranged after the details and price have been discussed.
When the item matches the agreed description, payment is made by bank transfer or PayPal.
Before the handover
Check the adjustment points, moving parts, console and resistance where applicable.
Photograph labels, working surfaces, wear and every accessory included in the bundle.
Measure the equipment and the access route, including stairs and narrow doorways.
If the item needs to be sent, use the private instructions we provide and follow our packaging guidance. Do not send anything until Zarax has confirmed that it wishes to proceed.
Compare the routes
Zarax reviews the item details directly. There is no public advert and no need to manage messages from several prospective buyers.
You create the listing, choose the asking price, reply to enquiries and decide how to handle collection, delivery and payment.
For a fuller breakdown, compare selling to a direct buyer with using a marketplace.
Customer feedback
The rowing machine stopped being a guilt-inducing ornament. Zarax collected it and sent the payment afterwards.
I photographed the rail, foot straps and working display, then mentioned a small split in the seat covering. Zarax valued it with that wear included and organised collection from the ground floor.
I had used the rowing machine regularly for a while, but after an injury it sat folded against the wall. The Zarax form let me include the resistance type, dimensions, console condition and the small split in the seat cover. They reviewed the information, asked about access and agreed a collection date. Inspection confirmed the machine was as described, and payment followed by bank transfer.
The rower stopped blocking the patio doors. I may miss the guilt, but I will enjoy the extra room. 😄
The chain felt smooth, the monitor worked and one foot strap was frayed. I highlighted the strap so the valuation reflected the real machine.
My rowing machine was used regularly for a few months, then a knee problem made it unsuitable. It was mechanically sound, with light scratches on the rail and a battery cover that needed tape. I recorded the display during a short session, measured the folded length and sent detailed photos. Zarax reviewed everything, arranged the handover and completed payment after inspection.
Useful questions
These answers cover the parts of the process people usually want to confirm before requesting a quote.
Value my rowing machineStart with the brand, full model number, specifications and an honest description of the condition. Add clear photographs of the item, label, accessories and any faults.
Potentially, yes. Acceptance depends on the item and the fault. Explain exactly what happens when it is switched on or used, and show the damaged area clearly.
Not always. The original packaging, power supply, remote, manuals or matching accessories can provide useful context, so list everything that is included.
Collection may be available when it is appropriate for the item and location. We will discuss access and the handover privately if we are interested in proceeding.
Payment follows receipt or collection and inspection. If the item matches the agreed details, Zarax pays the agreed amount by bank transfer or PayPal. If anything differs materially, we contact you first.
