Used outdoor gear seller Out&Back and major retailer DICK’s Sporting Goods partner up to bring pre-owned gear to the masses.
Today, Out&Back announces an in-store partnership with DICK’s Sporting Goods as it “venture[s] into the hard goods resale space.”
With DICK’s, Out&Back will also offer new softgoods and apparel.
If you’ve ever purchased used gear online through a third-party platform, you know how much of a treasure trove it can be. But it can also demand a lot of time and scrolling for both sellers and buyers. Photographing your gear, listing it, printing shipping labels, and sending it out. Now, you can simply walk into a store and offload your used gear.
Here’s how to trade in your used gear — in person — with Out&Back.
Trade In Used Gear at DICK’s or Public Lands
Out&Back’s in-person pilot program will launch with DICK’S Sporting Goods in two key outdoor markets: Denver and Pittsburgh.
Out&Back will begin accepting hardgoods in-store at three locations: the Public Lands in Cranberry Township, Penn., and at DICK’s Sporting Goods in Lakewood, Colo. (just outside of Denver) as well as Pittsburgh — Fridays through Sundays.
“Working with Out&Back to give people an opportunity to explore the outdoors and reduce our environmental footprint at the same time is a win-win,” said Peter Land, chief sustainability officer at DICK’s Sporting Goods.
As part of all gear buybacks, Out&Back and DICK’S will donate 1% of the value of offers given to sellers to 1% for the Planet. The program will officially launch in stores on April 29.
