Denver / Front Range Used Outdoor Gear Consignment

Wilderness Exchange is the premier used outdoor gear consignment venue for Denver and Colorado's Front Range. We sell and accept consignments for used summer and winter outdoor gear from hiking and mountaineering to skiing and ice climbing. While we accept a wide range of used outdoor gear for consignment, please make sure to check the list below for currently acceptable categories.

Outdoor Gear Consignment

Requirements

  • WEU accepts high quality gear, both operable and in good repair.
  • All apparel MUST be laundered before consigning - WEU will not accept dirty, smelly, or generally funky items.
  • Does it have rips, tears, holes, or stains? If so, those much-loved goodies are better suited for a yard sale.
  • We adore the brands sold in our store, but we're also eager for popular brands favored by outdoor enthusiasts.
  • We determine the value of an item by considering condition, desirability, our inventory stock, and current retail price.

This is How Consignment Works

  • Remember the "funky" chat above? Please make sure any consignment items are laundered and clean before dropping them by.
  • Take a look at what we are and are not accepting before you consign; that list is fluid and an included item one month may disappear the next, for number of different reasons.
  • We work with you to find an agreeable selling price and you receive 60% of that value when your item sells.
  • We reserve the right to decline used equipment for consignment for various reasons (condition, desirability, etc) and we cannot guarantee that your items will land in our consignment shop.
  • If your item sells (yay!!) and you decide you'd like to spend that money in the shop right then and there, we'll bump the payout by 10% in store credit! The only caveat is, you must spend a store credit payout in full right then and there.

This is How Cash Works

  • A cash offer will land at about 50% of what we think your item will sell for, or 10% less than when you consign.
  • We're going to be a wee bit more selective when accepting and appraising items for cash. In addition, not all items we would happily consign will be eligible for the cash option. To wit, that gear should be in reasonably good shape to qualify for the greenbacks.

This is How Store Credit Works

  • Turn your unneeded gear into new gear! Store credit will be offered at 55% of sale value. Again, for both cash and credit offers, we are quite selective on the items we accept.
  • Store credit must be used on the spot - in full - the day it is offered.

DISCLAIMER

We DO NOT consign any of the following items:

  • Carabiners and quickdraws
  • Climbing gear predominantly made of nylon or webbing, such as ropes, harnesses, or slings
  • Alpine / downhill / non-touring capable boots and skis
  • Snowboards and snowboard boots not meant for touring (we're always hungry for splitboards and split accessories)
  • Avalanche airbag packs and compressed air canisters for same

Consignment Agreement:

  • On your initial visit, please bring along a driver's license or other form of government-issued identification. We simply cannot complete a consignment agreement without it.
  • You'll agree to leave your item(s) on consignment for eight weeks.
  • If the item(s) sell, you'll have two options for payment:
    • We cut and mail consignment checks the first week of every month.  It'll be a nice day to check the mailbox because you'll receive 60% of the sale price of the item(s), less a 50 cent mailing fee.
    • Store Credit pays an additional 10% above the check payout value and may be used before the check is mailed.  Checks may also be brought back to the store and used for store credit at any time.  If you want that extra 10%, however, don't cash that check before dropping back by the shop!
  • Want to know the state of your gear? For account status updates, log into the “Consignor Access” portal online:   http://wildernessx.consignoraccess.com
  • Any item(s) found to be materially defective and/or unsellable will be removed at the discretion of WildyX, marked as damaged, and returned to you.
  • If the item(s) has not sold after eight weeks, or the item(s) is deemed unsellable, WildyX will contact you once via email. You'll then have two weeks to pick up your unsold item(s).  After those two weeks the item(s) will be donated to the non-profit, charity, or organization of our choice.
  • Any and all consignment requests (price change, extended hold on expired items, etc) MUST be emailed to the consignment manager at [email protected]
