HOW IT WORKS
You can drop off your consignment items any time we’re open, no appointment needed! Just bring your gear, fill out the new consignor paperwork, and we’ll take it from there. We'll go through your items, take what we think will sell, and answer any questions you have about the process. Once you have dropped your items off they will go into our processing queue to get priced and sent out to the sales floor. During our busy Winter and Summer seasons, it can take up to two weeks to process your items and get them out on the sales floor. Our goal is to price your items fairly so both you and the buyer are happy, and your gear sells fast. If you're curious about how we set prices, just ask when you drop off your items, we're happy to walk you through it.
ITEM CONDITION
All items need to be clean and functional. That means no big stains, tears, odors, dirt, or pet hair. Also, no major physical damage like delamination, broken zippers, or worn-out waterproof coatings. If you’re not sure about something, feel free to bring it in for us to take a look.
Sometimes an item that doesn't quite meet our standards makes it past the initial check. If that happens, we'll email you to let you know we have to politely pass on the item. We can hold it for up to two weeks for you to pick up. After that, we reserve the right to donate it.
CONSIGNOR SPLITS
- Item price $1 - $300 = 50% consignor split
