Turn unused gear into cash or store credit without dealing with listings, shipping, or back and forth messages. We handle the process so your gear keeps moving.
Start ConsigningDrop off your clean, functional outdoor gear and apparel. We will review what fits our shop and upcoming launch needs.
We handle pricing, merchandising, and customer questions with a fair, transparent approach based on condition and demand.
When your gear sells, you can take payment or choose store credit toward your next find and keep the cycle going.
Skip the work of online marketplaces, packaging, meetups, and endless messages.
We price gear based on condition and demand so it moves at a fair value for both consignors and buyers.
Your gear stays in Northwest Arkansas with a shop built around clarity, community, and getting people outside.
Good gear should not sit unused. Consigning keeps it useful and gets more people outside for less.
Brand matters, but it is not the only thing we look at. Condition, seasonality, demand, and whether the item fits outdoor use all help determine what we accept.
These are examples of brands we commonly look for in apparel, packs, camping gear, footwear, and accessories.
Getting outside looks different for everyone. Along with traditional outdoor gear, we also accept quality apparel, footwear, accessories, and equipment that support active lifestyles and outdoor recreation.
This list is a starting point, not a hard rulebook. Early on, we expect to learn what the local market wants and may accept quality items outside this list.
The quick test:
If it is clean, functional, fairly current, useful outside, and something someone would be excited to buy used, it is worth asking about.
Some categories require extra caution. Used climbing ropes, worn harnesses, damaged helmets, expired safety gear, or anything supporting body weight may not be accepted unless it is new, unused, and clearly safe for resale. Final acceptance is always based on condition, safety, and our ability to confidently resell the item.

A quick guide to how consignment works at Next Gear Outdoors.
Consignment means we sell your gear on your behalf. You bring in quality outdoor gear you are no longer using, we review it, price it, display it, and handle the sales process. Once the item sells, you receive your share as either cash payout or store credit.
Once intake is open, you can bring accepted gear to Next Gear Outdoors during posted consignment intake hours. Our team will inspect items for condition, quality, seasonality, and current demand before accepting them for the sales floor.
We recommend checking current intake updates before bringing gear in, especially for large items, seasonal gear, or higher volume drop offs.
Consignors receive 50% of the final selling price when paid in cash or 55% when choosing store credit.
Items are priced based on condition, brand, age, demand, and current retail value. Most items are priced below full retail so buyers get a strong value while consignors still receive a fair return.
Items may be discounted over time to keep inventory moving. Final discount schedules and payout timing will be clearly posted before intake begins.
We accept quality outdoor gear, apparel, footwear, and accessories based on condition, seasonality, and demand.
Items should be clean, functional, and ready for the next owner.
We generally do not accept items that are unsafe, heavily worn, damaged, dirty, outdated, or outside our outdoor gear focus.
While we review every item individually, not everything will be a fit for the shop. We reserve the right to decline items based on condition, demand, authenticity, safety concerns, seasonality, or available inventory.
Our primary model is consignment, not same day cash buying. Consignment can take longer than selling outright, but it often gives gear owners a better return than an immediate cash offer.
If we choose to buy select items outright in the future, those details will be listed separately.
Cash payouts are sent by ACH direct deposit after sold items are processed and payout requirements are met. Store credit is added to your consignor account after your item sells.
Final payout timing, minimum payout amounts, and any processing fees will be listed in the consignment agreement before intake begins.
Items that do not sell within the consignment period may be discounted, moved into clearance, picked up by the consignor, or donated depending on the terms agreed to at intake.
We will clearly communicate the process before your items are accepted.
Return policy details may vary by item type and condition. Final return policies will be posted in store and online before opening.
Because consigned items are unique, buyers should inspect items carefully before purchase.
