The carp fishing marketplace · iPhone & Android

Buy and sell used carp gear without getting done over.

Rods, reels, alarms, bivvies, bedchairs, bait — listed by anglers, not shops. Sell it live or on the board. Your money is held until it arrives, and collection sales are free. Built only for carp anglers.

Listing is free. Collection sales are free. Posted sales are protected until you've got it.

0%
Collect it, pay nothing

Arrange it in messages, pay cash when you've seen it. No fee to either side, ever.

Held
Posted sales are protected

Your money stays with Carp Army until you tap “received”. Something wrong? It stays held.

The board is for members

Your own used gear only, one of each item. Traders get a shop, not the board.

The board

Classifieds for carp gear, listed by anglers who actually fished with it.

Browse what's for sale near you or across the UK. Make an offer or buy it now. Every listing shows whether it collects, posts, or both — and who's selling it.

  • Offers and counter-offers, straight to checkout when accepted
  • Collection or postage, your choice at checkout
  • No listing fees, no final-value fees on collection

Live selling & auctions

Sell your gear on camera. Pin it and talk it through, or put it under the hammer.

Go live from the garage or the bank. Pin an item and viewers buy it while you talk, or run an auction — reserves, max bids, and a clock that extends when it gets close. Winners pay through the app at the hammer price.

  • Card on file to bid — no joke bids, no no-shows
  • The collection area printed on every lot
  • Verified sellers only, ID checked once

Without getting done over

Your money is held until you've got it. Then it goes to the seller.

Posted sales need a tracked service. The buyer taps “received”, or three days pass after delivery, and only then is the seller paid. “Something's wrong” is on the same screen and freezes it. Never pay outside the app — and anyone who asks you to gets reported.

  • Apple Pay, Google Pay or card
  • A record for collection sales too, so feedback has something to stand on
  • Disputes read by a person, not a bot
Checkout: collect for free or post with the money held
Selling

List it in sixty seconds. It's free.

Three photos, a price, whether it collects or posts. Done. Sold it? Mark it sold and it's off the board. Fees are 5% plus card processing on posted sales, taken from the seller's side like any shop, and nothing at all on collection.

  • Get paid to your bank once the buyer has it
  • Feedback both ways, hidden until both sides leave it
  • Your captures and history sit on your profile as proof you're real
Listing an item: photos, price, collection and postage
Trust

Feedback scores can be faked. Two years of catch photos can't.

Every seller's profile shows their captures, how long they've been here, their completed sales and their feedback. That's the difference between Carp Army and a Facebook group: a stranger isn't a stranger.

  • Verified Seller badge after an ID check
  • Member since, captures, sales, rating — all on one screen
  • Trader detection keeps the board for anglers
