The Enthusiast Exchange, Explained

Used parts, without the used-parts problem.

Every private-party horror story — the ghosted seller, the bent wheel "you should have inspected," the Venmo that vanished — happens because nobody neutral stands between the money and the parts. On the Exchange, we do. Here's exactly how, on both sides of the deal.

01 · Buying On The Exchange

Four steps. Zero leaps of faith.

Find it — and verify it fits

Every listing is spec-checked against manufacturer data before it goes live. Add your vehicle and we hide everything that won't bolt on, checked against 180K+ real builds.

Pay us — not a stranger

Buy Now or make an offer. Either way your card is charged by Fitment Industries and held in escrow. The seller sees "paid," not your money.

Inspect for 48 hours

The seller ships on our prepaid, insured label. Delivery starts your 48-hour inspection window — check every corner against the listing photos.

Funds release — or freeze

Everything matches? Do nothing — the seller gets paid, you leave a review. Something's wrong? Open a claim and the money never leaves escrow.

02 · The Exchange Guarantee

What "protected" actually means.

Not a badge. Not vibes. Three specific mechanisms, and a referee with the money in hand.

$0a scammer can take — the money never touches them

Your money waits until you’re happy.

Sellers are paid after delivery plus inspection — never before. A misrepresented item means the payout simply never happens.

How the 48-hour window works →
~24 hrsfor a referee ruling — measured against timestamped photos

You never argue with a stranger.

The required photo checklist is a timestamped condition record. Claims are judged against it — "not as described" is measured, not debated.

Watch a claim get resolved →
100%of sellers pass a federal-grade ID check before payout

You always know who you’re dealing with.

Every seller passes a federal-grade identity check before their first payout. Scammers need anonymity; there is none here.

03 · Selling On The Exchange

Five minutes to list. We do the rest.

Your specs fill themselves in

Start typing the part — size, offset, bolt pattern, and bore load from the same catalog that powers the store. See it →

You grade it, shoot it, tell its story

Condition grade, guided photo checklist, and your story — miles, why you're selling, what's included. Honest listings sell 3× faster.

You price from real sold data

We show what the same part in the same condition actually sold for — no forum wishful thinking, no lowball guessing games.

You ship on our prepaid, insured label

Prepaid, insured, sized for the parts, with our boxing guide. Drop it off and watch the tracking — the payout is already queued.

04 · Getting Paid

Your $850 sale, two ways.

When the buyer's inspection window closes, the money is yours — you just pick the shape it takes.

06 · Common Questions

Asked and answered.

Who am I actually buying from?

Another enthusiast — identity-verified, rated, and often with their car in the Build Gallery so you can see the parts on the build they came off. Fitment Industries is the neutral party holding the money, verifying the specs, and refereeing disputes.

What can't be sold here?

Bent, cracked, or weld-repaired wheels; tires below 4/32 or older than six years; anything without photos of the actual item. The line between "used" and "damaged" is the whole reason this marketplace works.

What if the buyer and seller disagree?

The listing photos and condition report are the contract. Our team compares what was promised against what arrived — with the money still in escrow, so the resolution has teeth. Full rules in the Help Center.
