Start ConsigningWhat We're Looking For Now
We're building inventory for our October opening and especially looking for fall and winter gear, quality outdoor apparel, and cycling gear of all kinds. Have something else? We're still accepting great outdoor gear across the categories we carry.
Choose the option that works best for you. Start online, stop by during intake hours, or bring your gear to one of our community intake events.
Create a consignor account and upload your items for review. It’s the best way to find out what we can accept before bringing your gear in.

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.
Gear Repair
A tear, worn seam, or other damage doesn’t always mean good outdoor gear is done. We’re working with The Mendery Adventure Wear Repair to help keep technical apparel, cycling gear, tents, packs, sleeping bags, and other outdoor gear in use longer.
We’re currently building out how repair will work with Next Gear, including options for gear that may need some work before it’s ready for another adventure. More details are coming soon.
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.
You can bring your gear to Next Gear Outdoors during posted intake hours and let us handle the process. We’ll review each item for condition, quality, seasonality, and current demand before accepting it for consignment.
Want to know if your gear is a good fit before making the trip? Create a consignor account online and submit your items for review first. You can also schedule an appointment or bring gear to one of our community intake events.
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.
