Good kit outlives the show it was bought for.

A place for Los Angeles crew to sell what they have outgrown and pick up what they cannot justify new. We take no commission and never touch the money — you deal directly with the person who owns it. Every listing is read by a human before it appears, because an unmoderated gear board fills with scams inside a month.

Free to list, free to browse, and you do not need to have booked us.

How this works, plainly

  1. You submit a listing. It reaches a person here, not a queue — usually approved or queried the same day.
  2. Approved listings go up with your contact method. Buyers deal with you directly. We take no commission and handle no payment.
  3. We will decline anything we would not buy ourselves: no serial-filed bodies, no vague "works fine" on an item with a known fault, no stock photos standing in for the actual unit.
  4. Meet somewhere sensible and test before money moves. Both stages are open for that if it helps — ask and we will find a slot.
  5. Tell us when it sells so we can take it down. That is the only thing we ask in return.

List something

Selling, trading or looking — same form. Be specific about condition and faults; the honest listings are the ones that move.

Join as a member

A profile puts your name, what you do and what you own in front of people looking to hire crew or borrow kit. It is free, and it is not an application to work for us — that form lives on the crew page.

Cannot afford it yet? Build toward it.

Every plot, diagram and setting we use is published free on the Studio Playbook, and the kit list starts at a two-mic setup for about $3,400. Buy the audio first, buy it used off this page, and add a camera when the show earns it.

Questions

How the board works.

Does Podcast Pros LA take a commission on used gear sales?

No. Listing and browsing are both free, and no payment passes through Podcast Pros LA. Buyers contact sellers directly and settle between themselves. The only thing asked in return is that you say when an item sells so the listing can be taken down.

Do I have to be a Podcast Pros LA client to list gear?

No. The board is open to any production crew in the Los Angeles area whether or not they have ever booked the studio.

Why are listings reviewed before they appear?

Because an unmoderated used-gear board fills with fraud within weeks. Every listing is read by a person first. Listings are declined for filed-off serial numbers, undisclosed known faults, or stock photographs standing in for the actual item.

Can I test equipment before buying it?

Yes. Both Hollywood stages at 1143 Vine St can be opened for a buyer and seller to meet and test an item before money changes hands. Ask and a slot will be found.
