Mailing in your Gear?
We'll send you a pre-paid shipping label at no upfront cost to you. $9.95 will be deducted from your earnings for most packages, or $19.95 for oversize.
We recommend sending a full box of higher value gear, so your label cost is negligible.
Fair Pricing — Built Around Trust
When you mail gear to us, you’re trusting someone you may never meet to assign value to gear you’ve invested time, money, and memories into. We don’t take that lightly.
Our goal is to price your gear thoughtfully — where it actually sells — so you earn the most and great gear gets back outside doing what it was made for.
How We Determine Pricing
Every item is researched individually using recent sales of similar gear. We look at both what items sold for and how quickly they sold, because fast-moving gear often signals that we can offer you more.
Want reassurance before shipping?
You’re always welcome to send photos or details ahead of time, and we’ll happily provide an estimated pricing range.
You Stay In Control
Mailing gear shouldn’t mean giving up your voice in the process. If pricing isn’t what you expected, you always have options:
- Ask us to review pricing if we misunderstood your item or missed important details.
- If you’ve chosen Cash after your item sells, you can request reasonable pricing adjustments.
- Instant Store Credit offers are typically final, but if you’d prefer more involvement in pricing, you can always switch to Cash after your item sells.
And of course, if you decide the program isn’t right for you after we receive your gear, we’re happy to send items back. You’ll just cover return shipping.
Our goal is simple: you should always feel comfortable with how your gear is priced — and never feel locked into a decision.
What We Accept
Gear from one of our selling categories...
- Camping & Hiking
- Climbing
- Cycling
- Skiing & Winter Sports
- Running & Fitness
Please note we do not accept a) Team Sports gear (football, soccer, hockey, ice skating, etc) b) Hunting, c) Fishing
...that is modern...
We typically only accept gear about 10 years old or newer. We sometimes make exceptions, but we recommend reaching out first before sending anything older. If we do accept anything older, please note pricing will be based on functionality and not rarity or vintage status.
...from an established, recognized outdoor brand...
We accept gear from brands like Patagonia, Black Diamond, Osprey, or other highly regarded outdoor brands.
Brands sold on Amazon, Walmart, Target, Costco, etc. are generally not accepted.
...that is clean and ready to use...
Gear should be free from pet hair, odors such as smoke, or other dirtiness that may turn off prospective buyers.
...and fully functional...
Gear should be ready to use, with no missing pieces, repairs, or compromises needed. Clothing with holes, broken zippers, or other damage will generally not sell, and we ask that you don't send these in.
...and meets the criteria in the Pando Refitters Selling Guide.
Over the years, we've learned a few things about which items will sell successfully, and which won't.
For example, leggings don't sell, and we've stopped accepting them.
Prior to sending anything, we highly recommend double checking the Pando Refitters Selling Guide to ensure we can accept your item.

Frequently Asked Questions
I'm not sure if my gear qualifies.
Feel free to email us a couple pictures along with any details you have, and we'd be happy to look at it with you.
Any gear that doesn't qualify, we can donate on your behalf, or send back (just pay shipping).
How much will my gear sell for?
Each item is assessed individually, but a good rule of thumb is to assume that the starting price will be 40-60% of retail for recent season great condition hard goods (tents, skis, bike components, etc), and 30-50% for recent season great condition soft goods and footwear. Items that don't successfully sell at the list price will gradually have discounts applied to ensure they find a good home.
Our pricing is final for trade in offers, but if you're wanting to sell on Consignment (receive cash after your item sells), we'll welcome your pricing input (some restrictions apply).
Want more guidance before you ship? Email hello@pandorefitters.com with the brand, model, and estimated year of your item, along with a couple pictures, and we can give a rough estimate.
I have a lot of gear. Can you help?
Absolutely. We love to work with brands, retailers, sponsored athletes, rental fleet managers, and anyone else who just happens to collect a lot of outdoor gear.
Brands, retailers, and fleet managers, send us a note at partnerships@pandorefitters.com before shipping anything, and we'll get in touch to confirm we're able to sell your items, and to discuss pricing strategy.
Can I drop off my gear in person?
Absolutely! Bring your gear over to our brick-and-mortar store in downtown Provo, UT to get started, no appointment needed.
What if I change my mind and want my gear back?
We can send it back, just pay shipping. Please note we're unable to send gear back after it sells (if you opted for cash payouts), or after you accept a trade in offer (if you opted for trade in).
What if my gear doesn't sell?
Between our online store and our physical retail shop, we can usually find a new home for your gear. If your gear isn't selling, we'll first start with progressive discounts, and then if that doesn't work we'll eventually put it on clearance. If it still isn't selling after that, we may opt to take it out of our inventory. You can either pay to have it shipped back, or we can donate it to a local non-profit on your behalf.
