Ski Sundown, New Hartford CT.
Consigning at the Swap
​
​At our swap, we accept: Gently used skis, snowboards, cross-country skis, boots, and ski/snowboard clothing that are in excellent condition. Also winter sport related items, such as boot bags, carriers, snow shoes, and race items. Any item brought should be clean and undamaged.
​
We do not accept:
-
Damaged or "unserviceable" gear, such as older bindings (over 10 years old) or skis/boards with damaged edges.
-
We do not accept dirty or damaged clothing.
-
We do not accept used poles, helmets, gloves or goggles.
-
We do not accept any clothing that isn't for winter sports. No tee-shirts, shorts, shoes, etc.
-
Please remember, this is a Ski / Snowboard Swap and not a tag sale.
How it all works:
It is fairly straight forward, you can bring any item (listed above) to the swap, we make sure those items are sellable, tag and place them on the sales floor, provide security and manage the overall sales process. If someone wants to buys it, we take care of the purchase, process their payment (cash, check, credit card), and assign any sales to your account. At the end of the swap, you come and pick up any unsold items, and get a check for your percentage of the sales. The consignment fee is 20% for the swap, so consignors receive 80% of the sales.
As a non-profit organization, the Swap is our main source of funding for the Sundown Ski Patrol, and we use that money to purchase medical supplies, equipment and other necessary items for the patrol. We sincerely thank you for being such a large part of it.
