Where to Buy and Sell Used Outdoor Gear and Sporting Goods in Portland
Foster Outdoor
The store offers a selection of new and used outdoor gear, clothing and accessories with an inventory that changes with the seasons. Foster Outdoor does list some of its used inventory online, but I recommend visiting the store in person to see everything it has in stock.
If you have some outdoor gear or outdoor apparel you’d like to sell, Foster Outdoor does accept items for consignment. The store’s goal is to set pricing that benefits both the customer and Foster Outdoor while promoting a quick sale. Consignors may use their balance as cash or store credit.
Foster Outdoor is located at 6927 SE Foster Rd. in Portland.
Next Adventure
Since 1997, Next Adventure has been supplying Portlanders with high quality new and used outdoor gear. The store has a wide range of supplies for adults and kids, including camping, climbing, paddling and snow activities. If you’re looking for all things outdoor adventure, this store has you covered.
Next Adventure does not list its used gear online so you will have to visit the store to view the latest inventory.
If you are interested in selling your old gear, you can do so at the Bargain Basement. Next Adventure will give you store credit for quality gear that is clean and functional. You can sell your used gear at all four Next Adventure locations. Check online for the current list of items the store is accepting.
Next Adventure‘s main location is at 426 SE Grand Ave. in Portland. You can also visit the Sandy store, Portland Paddle Sports Center and Scappoose Bay Paddling Center.
Play It Again Sports
This is a national chain with nearby locations in Beaverton and Vancouver. The company sells new and used sporting equipment and fitness gear. For the team players in your family, Play It Again Sports also sells used team sporting equipment.
Products at the store include fitness and exercise equipment; football, baseball, softball, volleyball, ice and field hockey, lacrosse, soccer, track and field gear, bicycles and winter sports gear.
If you have sporting or fitness gear you’d like to sell, bring it with you. The stores pay cash for quality used goods or you can trade your old items for what you are buying at the store. It may not cover the full cost, but it will save you money on your purchase.
Play It Again Sports has two locations in the Portland metro area:
Play It Again Sports – Vancouver
11505 NE Fourth Plain Blvd, Suite D-1
Vancouver, WA 98662
Play It Again Sports – Beaverton
9244 SW Beaverton-Hillsdale Hwy
Beaverton, OR 97005
REI Re/Supply Store
Specialty outdoor retailer REI Co-op has a Re/Supply store dedicated to used gear and apparel. Located in Clackamas Town Center, the 16,113 square foot store sells used gear that has been returned from its main retail business or traded in by members. Items are hand selected and inspected before being listed for resale.
There is one catch: you have to be an REI member to buy from Re/Supply. Becoming an REI member requires a one-time $30 fee. Membership gives you access to buying and trading in used gear along with a long list of other benefits.
If you have gear to you want to get rid of, members can trade lightly used boots, running shoes, clothing and outerwear for REI gift cards at the Re/Supply store, any other REI store or via mail.
The REI Re/Supply Store is at 11860 SE 82nd Avenue, Space K130 in Happy Valley.
