How it works
Disc Golf Trading Post is a consignment marketplace for used disc-golf discs. Sellers list discs they own; buyers pay through the site; we handle payments and shipping labels in between.
For buyers
Find a disc
Browse listings or search the catalog by mold, plastic, weight, or seller’s flight assessment. Every listing has photos, the disc’s actual weight in grams, plastic type, and a 0–10 Sleepy condition rating.
Add to cart and check out
When you click Pay, your card is charged immediately. We hold your payment until you confirm the disc arrived as described. Shipping is USPS Ground Advantage calculated from the seller’s location to your address. Listing pages show you an estimate once you enter your ZIP; the exact rate is computed at checkout from your full shipping address. If your cart has discs from multiple sellers, you check out one seller at a time (similar to ordering from multiple Etsy shops).
Wait for it to ship
The seller has 2 business days to pack your disc and drop it at USPS. Single-disc orders ship in a padded bubble mailer; multi-disc orders in a cardboard box. We provide the prepaid label, so the price you saw at checkout is what you pay — no surprise shipping charges. We email you tracking when it goes out.
Receive your disc
Once USPS marks it delivered, you have 3 days to report any issues (damaged, doesn’t match the listing, never arrived) from the order page. If you say nothing — or confirm everything’s fine — the seller’s payout releases after the window. The 3-day window is when to flag a problem; it’s a payout pause, not a guarantee.
Not ready to buy yet?
Add a mold to your wishlist and we’ll email you when a matching disc lists. On any active listing you can also Watch price to get a heads-up if the seller drops it. Just browsing? Explore the full Disc Database by brand, or jump from any disc to a seller’s whole storefront.
What if it’s not as described?
Used discs are sold “as described.” Small wear that matches the seller’s photos and Sleepy rating isn’t grounds for a refund. But bait-and-switch (wrong mold, wrong plastic, weight off by 5g+, undisclosed dye), damage in transit, and packages that never arrive are the seller’s responsibility under their seller agreement — they carry the shipping and accuracy risk. Report the issue on your order page within 3 days of delivery; if the listing didn’t match what arrived (or the package never showed), we’ll review the evidence and refund you from the seller’s held payout when the facts support it.
For players — your collection HQ
You don’t have to be buying or selling to get value here. My Bag is a full disc-collection manager built on the largest public disc database — every PDGA-approved mold plus 24,000+ retailer-confirmed variants. It’s not just a list of what’s in your bag today: it’s a living record of everything you own, an analysis of how that lineup actually flies, and a guide to what’s missing — with the marketplace built right in to fill the holes or move on the discs you’ve outgrown.
What you own
- Catalog your whole collection. Add discs from the catalog — or as free-text for anything off-catalog, like old runs, one-offs, and tour stamps — with weight, plastic, condition, a photo, and your own notes. Organize them into named bags— tournament bag, glow bag, practice bag… up to ten — or leave them on the shelf as collection-only, so what you carry and what you own stay distinct.
- One record per disc, for its whole life. A disc moves through owned → for sale → soldright inside your collection, so you keep a running history of what you’ve carried and what you’ve moved on — not just a snapshot of today. Sold discs stay in your history; the database remembers.
What you throw — the analysis
- See your bag as a map. Bag Analysis plots your discs on a speed × stability hex grid, colored by brand, so the shapeof your lineup — and the holes in it — are obvious at a glance. Got more than one bag? Switch the analysis between any single bag and everything together, and compare loadouts.
- Know if you’re balanced. A stability read tells you whether you’re leaning overstable, understable, or well-rounded. A backhand-handedness toggle flips the whole map for lefty (LHBH) throwers, and you can fine-tune how any disc actually flies for youversus its catalog numbers — a beat-in driver doesn’t sit where a fresh one does.
What you could throw — the gaps
- Fill the holes. Click an empty band on the map and we rank discs from the catalog that would fill it — weighted toward the brands you already throw, with a discovery pick or two from outside your usual lineup so you turn up molds you’d never have searched for.
- Then go get them. Every suggestion links straight to those discs for saleon the marketplace, and you can add any mold to your wishlist to be emailed when one lists. The analysis and the marketplace are the same place — spot a gap, fill it, without ever leaving your collection.
Your bag is private to you, and the whole thing is free to use — listing your extras for sale is entirely optional.
For sellers
Sign up, connect a Stripe account for payouts, set your ship-from address, and claim a storefront username — your public shop at disctradingpost.com/sellers/you, where buyers see all your active listings plus your rating and reviews (required before you can publish). Then list discs one at a time or in batches of up to 20. When a buyer pays, we email you a prepaid USPS label; you have 2 business days to ship. After delivery + a 3-day held-payout window (when the buyer can report issues), Stripe pays out to your bank. We take 10% of the item price (no fee on shipping); Stripe takes 2.9% + $0.30 on the full charge.
The full step-by-step walkthrough — with Stripe onboarding, ship-from setup, supply recommendations, and a photo checklist — lives on the seller getting-started page.
What’s the fee, all-in?
10% platform fee on the item price (we don’t take a fee on the shipping the buyer paid). 2.9% + $0.30 for Stripe processing on the full charge (item + shipping). That’s it — no listing fees, no monthly fees, no listing-promotion fees.
Why this works
- Escrow built in. Reddit and Facebook BST groups are free, but you’re trusting a stranger with your money or your disc. Here, payment is held by us until the disc arrives as described.
- Shipping baked in. No more haggling “+$5 ship” messages or sellers under-pricing postage. Listings show a USPS Ground Advantage estimate once you enter your ZIP; checkout locks in the exact rate from your full address. Seller gets a prepaid label.
- Catalog-aware listings. Mold, plastic, and edition come from a structured catalog of every PDGA-approved disc plus 24,000+ retailer-confirmed variants. No more guessing whether a “Champion Firebird” means the new run or an old run.
- Photos and grading you can trust. Listings require structured photos (top, bottom, edge, weight). The Sleepy 0–10 scale is the community standard.
- Seller reputation. Every completed order can be rated 1–5 stars with a written review. A seller’s rating rides along on each listing and on their storefront, so reliable sellers build a visible track record — that reputation, not a marketed guarantee, is the trust signal.

What about taxes?
Sales tax — when applicable, it’s added to your total at checkout. The platform collects and remits it to the state on your behalf. Sellers don’t handle sales tax, and their 10% economics are unchanged whether or not a sale is taxable.
Income tax — sellers are responsible for income tax on their earnings. Stripe issues a 1099-K to sellers whose sales cross the IRS reporting threshold each year; the Stripe dashboard shows your gross receipts year-round for your own record-keeping.
