Always ask if there are holes! I was mostly satisfied with the clothes I got. I just don't understand why they let people resell clothes with HOLES in it.

Vague and Misleading Pricing Policy Geartrade has a very vague Pricing Policy that allows them to change your agreed-upon price whenever they want, without notice. I initially agreed to sell a pair of $250 bike shoes on their site for $125. After just over 6 months, they sold the shoes for $37 which netted me just $9.79. At no time did they notify me of any price change. When I reached out to them they said that, "After the initial 30 days of a Consignment item being listed, the price is reduced on a weekly basis to maintain pace with the depreciation of the item." Nowhere is their Pricing Policy does it state such practice. What it does say is, "Geartrade may decrease the price based on market conditions, demand, and seasonality." Although this broad statement questionably covers the aforementioned practice, this is completely misleading. No way would I have agreed to terms that depreciated my shoes by ~14% a month after listing for just 30 days. If this is standard practice for all gear consigned to their site, they should state so clearly. I am very unsatisfied with my experience and although I love recycling gear back into the stream, I assure you that I definitely will never do so with Geartrade again.

Sick deals, closeouts from Backcountry.com Good stuff... I have gotten plenty of things from here. I especially look for when I need a specialized piece of climbing gear (generally clothing) that I may only a few times. For example I got good GORETEX pants for a mountaineering trip for like 1/4 the price. Also, Backcountry.com liquidates things here and you can get seriously good deals on basically new stuff. Got a sick pair of climbing shoes for $60 ($150 retail) and they are perfect. Highly recommend geartrade.

Have been a longtime buyer and seller… Have been a longtime buyer and seller on Geartrade. Their customer service is always willing to do the right thing and solve any problem. Shout out to Scott for finding a solution on my last order where I needed a Black Diamond jacket that I ordered faster than I had originally selected. The service was prompt and the order showed up when I needed it. Hard to find service like this in a world of chat bots.

Good company with High Commission Overall seems to be a great company, with lots of great clothing, gear, and parts for sale. I feel as if 17-20% is an unbelievably high commission rate for an online platform. Most in person outdoor used stores, will only take 25% commission. For this reason, I will probably sell most items else where, such as Requipper (7%) or Facebook (0%).
