Geartrade

Geartrade operates as a consignment marketplace dedicated to sustainable outdoor equipment reuse. The platform accepts pre-owned items across climbing, skiing, water sports, cycling, hiking, camping and apparel categories. The business model emphasizes accessibility: customers ship gear using free labels, Geartrade handles inventory and sale logistics, and sellers receive payment once items sell. The marketplace leverages over 20 years of sales data to set competitive pricing. Geartrade positions sustainability as core to its mission—'good gear does not belong in a landfill'—appealing to budget-conscious outdoor enthusiasts who want quality used equipment without the friction of private sales. Payout options include PayPal, Venmo, or store credit, giving sellers flexibility.
