Selling Your Skis at Gear Hut: A Quick Guide
Thinking about selling your skis? Gear Hut is the perfect place to do it! We make selling your skis, snowboards, and boots simple!
Where do I sell my skis or snowboard in Reno?
If you missed a ski swap... there aren't a ton of options in Reno. You've got craigslist, FB marketplace, or your fave little gear shop; Gear Hut (between October - February). Gear Hut is consignment based - so we sell the skis for you. Once they sell, your account will have your portion of the sale which you can either request a check for OR use as store credit! Remember, Gear Hut only accepts modern, 2014 or newer gear that is still usable.
What kinds of winter gear does Gear Hut consign?
At Gear Hut, we accept a variety of skis, including:
Resort/Downhill/Alpine Skis and Snowboards: All-mountain skis are most popular, especially in sizes (155-168). We accept limited quanities of park and powder skis. Unfortunately, we do not have a large racing demographic, and do NOT accept race skis or gear.
Nordic Skis: Classic and skate skis that are still ready for the trails. Cross country gear is EXTREMELY popular. If you have older SNS/SNS Profile or 3 pin, we will accept them as donation only.
Telemark, Backcountry Skis and Splitboards: If you've got skins, we'll sell them as a set! We accept a limited amount of these more niche markets as resort skis are our bread and butter that keep the lights on!
Snowshoes and traction
Make sure your skis are clean and in good condition! We will not sell core shot, or delaminating skis/boards. Give our full 2024/2025 RULES a read before drop off.
How does Gear Hut price used skis and boards? The unfortunate truth: Gear depreciates by 50% after just one season on them... And at the end of every season, the current, new, unskied models often go on sale for 40% off. For skis 2020 or newer, we use formulas to determine value, pricing used skis or boards between 25-45% of their original MSRP. For skis 2014-2019, we have a pricing matrix for gear, ranging from $120-$220. Price depends on condition: rusty free edges, ready to ride bases, and in demand sizing.
