Backpackinglight.com. You'll need to become a member to sell, they charge a fee, but your gear will move quickly if the price is fair.

Backpackinglight is a pretty good site and worth joining for the articles. The forums are decent and have a lot of useful information, you can learn a lot about new gear, wonder fabrics, etc.

Hammockforums and Whiteblaze have good classifieds but they also have minimum post requirements and the members are more frugal.

If so, you could try TGR's Gear Swap forum:
http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/forumdisplay.php/9-Gear-Swap-%28List-View%29
or TelemarkTips' swap list:
http://telemarktalk.com/phpBB/viewforum.php?f=4.

I see that you're interested in selling gear more than buying, but GearTrade (http://www.geartrade.com/) is a sort of online consignment/swap emporium, and place where returns to the Backcountry.com family of sites go to be sold.

Interesting how different forums have different character... sort of like this one. I dunno about BMX forums--not judging anyone--but in skiing, if you're interested in riding park, tall tees and a complete lack of spelling or punctuation, go to newschoolers.com. TGR's gear swap is solid, and displays much less of the aggro that the main skiing page does. TelemarkTips, while dominated by the freeheelers, is pretty chill. Any Dead Bird apparel would sell at those any of those places.

Finally, just come to Burlington and consign it all in the Outdoor Gear Exchange's giant basement: http://gearx.com/about/consignment. They even accept items by mail! Yes, you only get 65% of the selling price in cash, or 75% in store credit, but you just drop it off, forget about it, and let the buyer come to them. I almost always have a store credit waiting there for me.

Good luck with your gear locker purge.

+1. I found good gear and fair prices when buying newer gear. Good traffic for selling, too. Similar vibe to this forum.
