What is a Gear Swap?
The Gear Swap is a large discounted gear sale where you can buy or sell new and used gear. It is also when Outback Adventures sells off their used rental and guide service equipment. In short, it's a place for GREAT DEALS!

What kind of outdoor gear can I sell at the swap?
You can sell outdoor equipment that's intended for self-propelled (non-motorized) wilderness adventure activities such as climbing, hiking, backpacking, paddling, mountaineering, skiing and snbowboarding. Examples of gear we allow include kayaks, climbing shoes, paddles, tents, waterproof-breathable jackets, snowboards, ski boots, gaitors, crampons, vehicle sport racks, stoves, etc.

We don't allow things like motorcycles, baseball bats, guns, hunting gear, or BBQ's. Kayak fishing gear is welcome. If your equipment is extremely out of date, dangerous, filthy, or too badly worn it may be rejected. If you're unsure if your equipment meets our requirements, give us a call and ask at (408) 551-0588.

Who sets the price for my items?
You set the price of your items. If you really want to sell your items, price it low. Outback Adventures staff is availlable to assist you in pricing you items by offering their opinion.

How much commision is taken?
Sellers are charged a 15% surcharge based on the final selling price. No fee is taken for unsold itmes. Sellers do not have to be present. Outback employees will sell your gear as well as handle payment and any credit card transaction fees. If your gear sells, Outback Adventures will pay you the balance by check within 7 days.

When and where can I drop off my Gear?
You may drop off and register your gear (EXCEPT kayaks- see below) at the San Jose store during store hours starting Saturday October 4 through Friday October 24. We will accept gear drop offs at our Marin store location during store hours starting October 4 through October 19.
