PANC MARKETPLACE

COMING SOON! The PANC Marketplace

We are excited to provide this forum for individuals with Parkinson’s disease, their care partners, and loved ones to connect and share mobility-related items in the Northern California region. If you’re looking for a new or gently used item, or you have items that could help others find independence and support, this platform is available to facilitate the exchange to buy, sell, or trade. 

 

To ensure a positive and respectful experience for all participants, we are providing the guidelines below.

This includes walkers, canes, wheelchairs, lift chairs, grab bars, exercise equipment, adaptive devices, and more. Medications or syringes are not accepted.

  2. Honesty in Descriptions: Please provide accurate descriptions of items, including their condition, age, and any defects. This will help ensure transparent and fair transactions.

  3. Safety First: All items should meet safety standards and be in good working order and clean. If you are selling or trading an item, make sure it is safe for use by someone with mobility challenges or Parkinson's disease.

  4. Respectful Behavior: Treat all members with kindness and respect. This is a community of individuals and families who share a common goal, so be courteous in all interactions.

  5. No Discrimination: The marketplace is inclusive. Discrimination of any kind, including on the basis of age, race, gender, or disability, will not be tolerated.

  6. Transaction Transparency: All transactions should be carried out in a transparent manner. Buyers and sellers should agree on the price or exchange terms before completing any exchange.

  7. PANC Approval: If an item is questionable or potentially inappropriate for the marketplace, the PANC team reserves the right to remove listings or ban users.

  8. PANC Indemnification: Unless noted as a "PANC fundraising" item, the inventory listed are not products of PANC, inspected by PANC, priced by PANC, nor will PANC claim liability for the items. PANC does not guarantee that items will find homes through this platform.
