Handcycle Exchange - A place to buy or sell used handcycles & related equipment

If you're a buyer:
- Call us at, (989) 422-2950, or email us and let us know exactly what you're looking for... especially if you're seeking a used handcycle or used accessories. In those cases, we will always keep our eye out for your request and we will keep a file for the products you are seeking. When and if we locate an item that we believe may fit your needs, we will of course let you know right away. At that point, we will make arrangements for you to purchase the used items direct from our site.
- If you're selecting a pre-made product off our site, just follow the PayPal links or you can also call or email us and we'll be glad to answer any questions and or process the order over the phone. If you prefer, you can also mail in an order to the address shown in the upper left corner of each page and we will process those orders usually the same day they are received. In most cases, the products will be shipped the very next day. We accept all major credit cards via PayPal, certified, bank or cashiers checks, money orders and once a relationship is established, we will be happy to accept your personal checks in most cases too. Additionally, you do not have to have a personal PayPal account in order to use their service. All you need is a major credit card and they will accept and process the order just like a regular merchant credit card account.
If you're a Seller:
- Email or phone us with as much information as you can supply for the products you wish to list. If you're selling a used handcycle please refer to our basic equipment specifications, (SEE BELOW), before you contact us. Here is a list of things we would like to know right away so we can put together a nice ad for you. Also, please be ready to supply us with several good close up photos that can help show the true condition of the bike you are trying to sell. We will also consider posting a video of the bike if it has unusual qualities that justify being demonstrated with motion pictures.

In addition to the basic specifications, please let us know about any special circumstances that relate to the bike. For example, do you have all the books and tools that came with the original purchase?. Are there any extra's that go with the bike, (IE; tools, tires, tubes, cushions, etc.). The more you can tell us about the bike, the more information we have to create a good ad page which may help us sell your equipment faster.

Once we have all the information, we will create an ad and prominently list it at our site. When we have a potential buyer we will contact you for the specifics of the sale and set up shipping

It is the responsibility of the seller to have the bike safely packaged and shipped to the buyer once we provide you with a shipping address. Most cities have a Pak-N-Ship or comparable retail shipping outlet that can handle the complete process of packaging and shipping a used handcycle. In most cases they use a common carrier truck line that may charge anywhere from $150 - $300 for the complete processing of your shipment, so please consider those costs when selecting a listing price for your used bike. In the rare case whereby we may have a buyer that is willing to pick up the bike at a mutual location or possibly at your home or business, the shipment savings is strictly your own.

Once the bike has successfully arrived at its new home in good condition, or is picked up by the buyer, a check will be cut to the seller for the amount of the agreed upon selling price less our current commission rate of 12.5 %.

If you have parts or accessory items that you would like to list, like crank arms or wheels for example, again we need good photos and descriptions. Once we have the information we'll list the items and have you follow the same shipping and payment procedure as listed just above for used bikes. Our current commission rate for these items is 10%.
