How Consignment Works at Second Wind Sports Bend

If you’ve got quality outdoor gear collecting dust in your garage, you’re not alone. Many of us have extra jackets, bikes, boots, or backpacks that aren’t getting the use they deserve. At Second Wind Sports Bend, we make it easy to turn that unused gear into cash—or even better, into store credit to fund your next outdoor pursuit.

We offer a simple, transparent, and eco-conscious consignment process that helps extend the life of your gear and keeps it circulating within the Bend outdoor community.

Here’s everything you need to know about how consignment works at Second Wind.

Selling used gear has more benefits than just clearing out space. When you consign with us, you:

Earn money or store credit for gear you no longer use
Support sustainable shopping and help reduce outdoor industry waste
Make room for new adventures and updated equipment
Help others in the community access affordable, high-quality gear

Whether it’s a mountain bike, ski jacket, paddleboard, or pair of hiking boots, your gently used items still have value—and we know how to sell them quickly and fairly.

We specialize in lightly used, high-end outdoor gear, apparel, and accessories for a range of sports and seasons. Our most commonly accepted items include:

Mountain and gravel bikes
Bike components and tools
Ski and snowboard gear (fall and winter only)
Hiking, trail running, and climbing equipment
Paddleboards, floats, and related water gear (spring and summer only)
Technical outdoor apparel and outerwear
Hiking boots, trail runners, and outdoor footwear
Packs, helmets, hydration systems, and travel gear

Not sure if your item qualifies? Reach out or bring it by during store hours. Seasonal gear performs best when brought in during the right time of year.

We’ve streamlined the process so you can get in, get listed, and get paid with minimal hassle.

1. Drop Off Your Gear

Bring your clean, gently used gear into the store during open hours. Most items do not require an appointment.

Location: 725 NW Columbia Street, Bend, OR
Business Hours: Tuesday through Sunday, 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM

Our team will review your items during intake and let you know what qualifies.

2. We Assess and Price It

Once accepted, our staff will:

Evaluate each item’s condition and completeness
Consider the brand, original retail value, and resale demand
Price the item based on seasonal demand and current trends

We set fair, competitive prices that help your gear sell quickly while maximizing your payout. You’ll receive a full breakdown of terms and expectations when your item is listed.

3. We Display and Market It

Your item will be:

Tagged and displayed in our high-traffic retail location
Featured to loyal local shoppers and outdoor enthusiasts
Occasionally highlighted on Instagram, newsletters, or special promotions

We handle all merchandising and promotion, so you don’t have to do a thing.

4. You Get Paid When It Sells

Once your item sells, you receive:

50 percent of the final sale price, or
Higher in-store credit value if you choose to shop with us

Most items sell within a few weeks, especially if they’re seasonally relevant and in great condition.

What percentage do I earn on each sale?
Our standard consignment split is 50/50. Higher-value items or large gear packages may qualify for a different split. If you choose store credit, you may receive a higher payout percentage.

How long will my item stay on the floor?
Most items are listed for 60 days. After that, you can choose to:

Pick it up
Donate it
Allow us to discount it for clearance

What condition should my gear be in?
We accept only clean, gently used, and fully functional items. Please wipe off dirt, remove personal information or stickers, and ensure all components are included (like straps, buckles, tools, or chargers).

Do you accept gear all year?
Yes, but seasonal timing helps. For example:

Bring in ski gear in the fall
Bring in paddle and float gear in early summer

Outerwear and trail gear are accepted year-round but perform best before the season starts

At Second Wind Sports Bend, consignment is more than a sales channel—it’s part of a larger mission to support sustainable outdoor recreation in Central Oregon.

We believe in keeping good gear in motion, out of the landfill, and into the hands of new adventurers. Whether you’re making room in your garage or looking to fund your next upgrade, our team is here to help you get the most out of what you already own.
