Who We Are

Founded in 2005 and based in Kent, UK, 10K Used Gear has grown into a trusted global marketplace for used professional event production equipment — serving theatres, festivals, touring companies and live productions of every scale for over 20 years. Our international team of industry specialists brings decades of hands-on experience, ensuring every piece of used equipment meets the demands of professional events. We believe used equipment can be just as good as new, and better value. For us, it’s about more than gear — it’s about supporting the creativity and energy that make live events unforgettable, while helping the industry reduce waste and operate more sustainably.

How We Work

We source, verify and sell used professional event production equipment on behalf of companies and individuals across the industry. Whether you’re looking to sell a single item or clear an entire inventory, or you’re looking to buy quality used gear at competitive prices, we handle the entire process — from valuation and listing through to sale, payment and logistics. Every item we list is assessed by our team of industry specialists to ensure it meets professional standards.
