How it Works
Step One: Bring Us Your Gear
You can drop off your clean, functional gear at our store during consignment hours. You can also ship your items to us (see below for important information).
Once we receive your gear, we'll place it in a queue for evaluation. This process usually takes a couple of business days. If you need a more immediate evaluation, please schedule an appointment.
Step Two: We Evaluate Your Gear
We dedicate time each day to carefully assess your consigned items. Our team meticulously examines every item, researches its value, and creates a detailed record.
Once the items are processed you will receive an email informing you of the starting price. We allow a timeline of 3 days for you to decline our pricing. After 3 days we will put your items out for sale online and in store.
Step Three: Selling Your Gear
Once your items are approved for consignment, we'll hang them in our shop and list them online. We actively promote our shop through various channels to reach a wider audience. Our goal is to sell your items quickly and efficiently.
Step Four: Consignment Payouts
We send notifications via email when your items are sold and you can come by the store for a cheque any time!
You can also log into the portal to see all your active items and account balance at any time.

We carefully consider several factors when setting prices for your consigned items to balance maximizing your return and attracting buyers. These factors include:
- Original retail price

- Item condition
- Brand reputation and style
- Historical value

If you disagree with our proposed price, you have the option to retrieve your item.
Our consignment split reflects the full cost of selling each item — not just putting it on the rack. We handle intake, authentication, pricing, merchandising, photography, marketing, customer service, payment processing, and storing your items until they sell. Our goal is to make consigning easy and hands-off while getting your gear in front of the right buyers. The 40% consigner payout allows us to maintain the space, support our team, continue curating quality inventory, and keep the process running smoothly for both buyers and consigners.
