Consignment

Consign with us and become partners in keeping quality gear in use in our community. We maintain a high standard for our consignment items so that we can provide you with the best used gear inventory in the area!!!

Step 1: Preparation

Make the decision to “feed the good wolf”! Create a pile of hiking, camping and backpacking gear and apparel you would like to consign, then inspect and prepare your gear for a new home.

  1. Is it functional and have all required parts? 
  2. Is it clean (no stains, odors or pet fur)?
  3. Is it ready to sell in its current state?

The better the condition your gear is in, the higher we can price it, and the more value you will receive in return! 

Determine if it’s something Good Wolf Gear is currently accepting. Review our buying guidelines below to help you prepare for your gear drop off at Good Wolf Gear!

Step 2: Drop by the Shop

Come by the shop with your gear! No appointment is necessary but if you have more than 10 items, it is recommended. Email us at howl@goodwolfgear.com to set up time for your gear drop off. 

You will be asked to review our consignment terms and sign a consignment agreement. Save time by filling out the consignment agreement first by clicking here (takes 1 min)!  We will determine what we can and cannot accept and provide you a receipt of your consignment items.

Consignment FAQs

Why did Good Wolf Gear switch to Consignment from Buy Outright?

We’ve listened to feedback from our community and the consignment model will allow us to give larger payouts to our consignors for their sold items. Our goal is to expand our used gear inventory significantly, and can’t do it without you! We believe this change will help.

What happens to my store credit earned before the switch to Consignment?

Nothing at all! The store credit you’ve already earned remains. It doesn’t expire and is ready to use when you return to the shop.

If I've sold gear to Good Wolf Gear in the past, what do I need to do now?

Next time you come by the shop, we will review the consignment terms with you and answer any questions you may have. We will also share instructions for our new consignor portal where you can monitor the sale of your items. So come on by with some new items to sell and we will walk you through the new process! 

What changes can I expect to see in the shop?

We will continue to offer high quality experienced gear in the shop. You will find that all of our consigned items will now have new tags with a discount schedule, so you can see automatic savings over time! 

Our consignors will now have access to an online portal to monitor the sale of their items, so there will be less back and forth and clear communication with the shop.

As we build our used gear inventory, we will have more special promotions to offer our community. So bring us any gear in your closet that we can help get back out in the wild!
