How it Works
Looking to sell your gear? Read our guidelines below to get started!
How to get Started
Step 1: Bring in your gently used items. Please refer to our page on what we sell to get an idea if what you’re bringing in qualifies.
Step 2: We will price your items, merchandise/display them and sell them for you.
Step 3: Get paid. You can use your consignors portion as store credit with a bonus, as a check, or simply donate it to a charity that we work with.
Pricing, Fees, & Discounts
Our staff will price the items for you. Our pricing philosophy follows our mission: we want to be fair to our consignors, but also provide outdoor gear at a reasonable price. If you have a price your after, let us know and we will work with you the best we can.
Pricing guidelines:
Typical used gear starts roughly half of the MSRP (the value it would be priced at retail). It is then adjusted for Age, Condition, and Desireability.
It’s common for used gear to ultimately get priced at about a third of its original price.
For bigger ticket items, we research market prices on places like Ebay, Bicycle Blue Book, and other second hand outfits.
Bring in original receipts, owners manuals, and other items to make sure we can properly identify your gear.
Note that our mission is not to provide the best return on your gear. Selling private party on your own is the best way to maximize your return.
Consignor Fees
For items with a final sale value of under $200 - Consignor and Store split the purchase evenly.
For items with a final sale value equal to or over $200 - Consignor takes 70% of the sale, the Store takes 30%.
Discounts
All items have 3 months to sell at their full price. Items will be discounted each month subsequently until they are removed from sale and donated (or marked for pickup) at 6 months. Consignor and Store will split the discount (fees are calculated from the final sale price).
Surcharges will exist for items that excessively dirty or things they need significant work to get to a reasonable selling condition. This includes things like maintenance on bikes or cleaning on your gear. We will discuss these charges before putting your item for sale. We do not have a laundry facility and will simply decline unwashed apparel.
Payments and Store Credit
Once your gear sells, you get paid. Select one of three options to get your money back.
Get your money back as store credit with a 10% bonus! This will work in either the consignment store, or at Zach’s Bikes.
Get your money as a check. We will be issuing consignor checks once a week. You can check the status of your items at your consignor portal or opt in to email notifications.
Donate your portion to a charity we work with. This is the simplest option for you, and it benefits one of the many charitable causes we work with.
