Consignment is a mutually beneficial partnership between you and Second Gear. We sell your items on your behalf, splitting the profits with you. You bring your gently used outdoor gear & clothing to us and we take care of the rest!

We'll inspect your gear and/or clothing to ensure they meet our quality standards. Our team then establishes a fair selling price for your items and neatly displays them within our store. Once your item has sold, we mail you a check or add store credit to your consignor account. Easy!

You can consign with us any day of the week. No appointment necessary!

We ask that you arrive at least an hour before we are scheduled to close to allow our staff adequate time to inspect your items.

We also have a 15-item limit per consignor.

Whenever you're ready to consign, just bring your items into our store and head to our consignment intake counter where one of our staff members will assist you. Remember to check our consignment updates page first to check what we're currently accepting!

Rates: Consignors receive 50% of an item’s selling price if paid in cash or 55% of an item’s selling price if paid in store credit. (For example, if we sell one of your items for $100 - you receive $50 if paid in cash or $55 if paid in store credit.) 

Second Gear pays consignors who wish to receive cash by direct deposit via ACH (Automated Clearing House) for items sold for “cash” during the previous month.  We have a $10 minimum balance requirement for a direct deposit cash payout.  Second Gear strives to initiate direct deposit cash payouts by the 3rd of the month.  Consignors who choose to receive their consignment payout by cash can expect their funds to be deposited into their bank accounts within 2 – 4 business days.  The transaction fee to consignors for this ACH direct deposit is $2.50 per transaction, which is the same as our cost.

Consignors selling items for store credit are credited 48 hours after an item sells.  Consignors’ store credit never expires.

 

Consignors may access their account balances online, stop by the store or by calling the store.

 
Pricing and Monthly Discounts: Selling price is initially determined by Second Gear through research and current styles. Typically we price items 30 to 50% below their retail value depending on their condition and age, although pricing may vary.

On the first of the month the selling price of consigned items are discounted by the following amounts:

0% during the first month or portion thereof
10% during the second month
25% during the third month
50% during the fourth month.

Second Gear reserves the right to reduce prices further for sales or other promotions.

Second Gear sells retail and consigned outdoor adventure gear, apparel, footwear and accessories on a seasonal basis. We focus on the items you need to get outside and enjoy our local outdoor sports, such as mountain biking, cycling, camping/backpacking, climbing, paddling, and disc golf.

The brands we accept on consignment are the high quality outdoor brands you would find at any major outdoor retailer like REI. We accept Patagonia, Arcteryx, The North Face, Outdoor Research, MSR, Prana, Black Diamond, Chaco, Keen and many, many others. If you're unsure if we will accept your gear/clothing, we always encourage you to ask!

All items brought in for consignment must be clean (no dirt, no dog hair, no bad smells), gently used, and operational (bicycle tires hold air and brakes work, headlamps have batteries, camp stove will light, sleep pads hold air).

No. If you are looking for same day money for your items, you are better off at a pawn shop or another establishment. Selling your gear on consignment will take longer than an upfront sale, but you’ll usually receive more money for your items by consigning them instead of selling for cash on the spot.

Second Gear allows returns on unused consigned items within a 48-hour period after purchase. If you miss your 48 hour return window, you always have the option to re-consign the item on your own account to sell again.
