Winter Consignment Guidelines

Skis

Manufactured in the last 10 years, ideally 5 years.
No sidewall, edge, or serious topsheet or base damage.
Bindings must still be certified by the manufacturer. If skis are over 10 years old, odds are the bindings are no longer indemnified by the manufacturer. This means ski shops - including Sports Plus - cannot set the bindings to a skier's boot, making them unsellable.
If skis are unmounted, no more than two previous binding mounts are acceptable.
Sports Plus does not accept Telemark equipment or junior racing skis on consignment.

Manufactured in the last 10 years, ideally 5 years.
No rear-entry boots.
All buckles, velcro power straps, etc. must be in good working order.
Toes and heels should not be worn past the replaceable toe or heel plates. If wear extends into the actual boot (even a tiny amount), we cannot accept them.
Interior boot liners must be in good working order, free of rips, tears, or rodents/rodent evidence.
Sports Plus does not accept Telemark equipment on consignment.

We prefer newer rocker shapes rather than older camber styles. An easy way to determine the style you have is to place the board on the ground and step on the middle area between the binding mounting points. If the board compresses significantly, it is likely the older style for which there is little demand.
No sidewall, edge, or serious topsheet or base damage.

Boots must be in good working order, free of rips, tears, or rodents/rodent evidence.
BOA systems are preferred over lace-up boots.
The boot should still be stiff enough to support the wearer.

Bindings must be fully functional.
No cracks, tears, rips, or cuts on the base canvas where it attaches to the frame.
Traction cleats must not be too worn down.

We accept waxless designs (i.e. has the "fish scales" for traction).
We accept Classic skis, but generally do not accept Skate skis.
NNN or NNNBC binding types only. We no longer accept boots or skis with SNS binding variants (SNS Profil, SNS BC, SNS Pilot, etc.).

Winter clothing will be accepted this season until November 24, 2024. After that point, we will not accept used clothing for the remainder of the 2024-2025 season.
Winter clothing includes jackets, pants, gloves, goggles, and helmets. We do not accept "layers", only outerwear.
Jackets and pants must be recently washed and dried. We cannot accept clothing that is wet, or has stains, tears, rips, busted zippers, or anything else that would make it undesirable for buyers.
Clothing should have been manufactured within the last 5-7 years (style is very important when it comes to winter clothing).
Exceptions can sometimes be made for "cool" retro items.
Goggles must not have lenses that are too scratched or elastic straps that are too fatigued/stretched out.
Helmets must have been manufactured in the last 5 years with the manufacture date sticker clearly visible.

Stay tuned as we may adjust our policies as the season progresses.
