5 Tips for Buying Used Sports Equipment

Buying used sports equipment is a great way to save money, but it pays to know what to look for. Here are a few tips we share with customers browsing our floor.

Check for Structural Damage, Not Just Scuffs

Cosmetic wear like scuffed paint or faded logos doesn't affect performance. Cracks in helmets, frayed straps, or warped frames are the things that actually matter.

Make Sure It Fits Right

Used gear is only a deal if it fits properly. We fit every piece of equipment we sell to make sure it's the right size, so don't be afraid to ask us for help trying things on.

Ask About Sanitization

Not every used equipment seller sanitizes before selling. Ours does, every single piece goes through the Sani-Sport machine before it goes out on the floor, so you're not just buying secondhand, you're buying clean.

Know What You're Comparing Against

A quick look at new retail prices for the same brand and item can help you see just how much you're saving. More often than not, it's significant.
