Selling Used Gear at Windance

Looking to unload your used gear? Our used gear consignment program makes the process of clearing out your old gear and making room for the new a breeze!

Simply bring in your used items for inspection and, once approved, we take care of the rest!

When we check out your gear, we’ll accept or reject it, recommend a price, provide you with documentation, and take the item off your hands. You can then kick back and wait for your account to be credited when it sells.

Out of town but still want us to sell your gear?

To send us your used gear to sell on consignment on your behalf:

We will contact you and confirm when the gear has been received.

- Windance is not responsible for gear that arrives damaged, incomplete, not in the condition purported, does not meet our normal posted consignment intake standards, was sent without written approval from Windance staff, is not sellable, or that gets lost in transit to us. If there are issues, we will always contact you to work toward a resolution before taking any adverse action.
- If you are unable to resolve the issue within 2 weeks of the equipment's arrival at Windance, the gear becomes Windance property and will be disposed of as we see fit.
- To avoid issues, be over-descriptive in the descriptions and photos you send us of your items, pack your items well, make sure you have written Windance approval in advance for every item you ship, and be prepared to cover the cost of professional repairs or return shipping if there are any issues with your gear.

From there, you can sit back and relax while we sell your gear.
