Guidelines, definitely not rules!
New Port Ski Swap Gear Pricing Examples
For your convenience, we’ve provided the registration sheet for you to print at your leisure, and take your time sorting through your gear stack!
Used gear, even in very nice shape, is worth less than you might think! Skis, boots, snowboards, lose 1/2 of it’s value each year. $400>200>100. Bottom rate for good gear is $40-$50. There could be high quality gear for ~$200!
Clothing loses about 3/4 of its value each year $400>100>50. Bottom rate for good gear is $20-$30. There could be high quality gear for ~$100!
When you price it, remember the consignment donation is 25-50%.
You never know exactly what someone will pay for gear but ask yourself what you might be willing to pay. Set it to 10-15% less than you would be willing to pay.
Important Question: Do you want it back if it does not sell for a specific price? * Set it to the least price that you are willing to take.
Do you want it gone to a new appreciative owner? * Price it 20-30% less than you think you would pay. Sometimes things sell because it is the just right deal for someone. Some swap customers know gear and know what the right price is. Some great gear at a great price is still there at the end of the swap because the right person did not see it.
* If it is dirty, ripped, or smells… It will not sell! CLEAN IT or don’t bring it.
**If it is high end, attach a card describing the value.
Most people know about technology, but don’t recognize it without a label, as you cannot SEE what’s inside!
