FAQs

How do I price my items?
  • Begin by assessing the condition of your ski gear, taking note of any wear and tear. Research comparable items on consignment platforms to gauge market prices for similar gear in similar condition. Consider brand, quality, age, and the original retail price when setting your prices. Offer competitive prices, slightly below market value, to attract potential buyers. Price your items to SELL! No one wants to bring home unsold gear. Check out this pricing guide if you still have questions.


​What do you charge for consignment? 
  • ​20% of the sale price is kept by the WES PTA to support our education programming. THANK YOU!

    Skis/Boards - Please attach the label directly to the ski.
    Boots/Clothes/Hats/Mittens - Please fold the sticker OVER the tag with the string (Just the string should be coming out the top.).
