Our Gear Buying Process
At Good Wolf Gear, we're happy to buy your clean and lightly-used gear to keep it in nature and out of basement closets or overflowing landfills. We buy outright, so no waiting for the gear to sell or need to box and ship your gear anywhere.
1. Inspect your gear to ensure it's clean and functional.
2. Bring it to the store to be evaluated. We set the resale price based on condition, demand, our inventory needs and most recent market pricing. For greater than 5 items, we kindly ask for 24 hours to evaluate your gear.
3. Receive 25% of the resale price in cash, or 50% of the resale price in store credit. Store credit doesn’t expire and can be used immediately. Cash transactions greater than $25 will be reimbursed via PayPal.
4. Tell your story. We know it can be hard to say goodbye. If you have special memories of that loyal backpack that got you through your first thru-hike, or there’s a reason your sleeping bag smells faintly of bananas, let us know! We want to pass these stories along to the next owner so we can honor yours as they begin theirs.
