Annual Ski Swap
Location: TBD
Drop Off: Friday, (coming soon)- 5 pm to 8 pm
Ski Swap: Saturday, (coming soon)- 8 am to 2 pm
Pick Up Unsold Items: Saturday, (coming soon)- 2 pm to 3 pm
The Sale - We call this a swap (people swapping old for new) but this is actually a consignment sale. This means convenience for you. You don't have to hang around trying to sell your equipment. You just drop off your gear Friday afternoon and then on Saturday afternoon, you pickup any unsold items along with a check for your sold items. In the mean time, you can get to the Hunter's Feed or whatever else is going on. You can, of course also hang out at the swap and help out or look for something new or used to replace the items you are selling.
How we (you and us) make money - You bring your clean, in-safe-condition items, you price it, and we check it into our inventory system. We take 15% of the selling price and you take home 85%. There are no mark-downs or discounting during the sale. We sell it for the price you set. Old, unsaleable and/or unsafe items (dedact skis ) will not be accepted. Old, dirty clothing items will not be accepted.
Preparation - Just bring your items to the Ennis Elementary School Cafeteria. There will be signs directing you to the appropriate location. We will have inventory cards for you to fill out and have someone there to help you fill them out. We will even provide some assistance with pricing. We handle the rest.
Acceptable Items - Gear can be hard goods (skis, snowboards, boots, bindings, helmets, poles, etc.) or soft goods (pants, jackets, fleese, gloves, hats, etc.). In addition, we will accept antique skis, poles and sleds that may be used for Interior Design purposes. Underware and socks are not allowed. Old unsafe condition or unsaleable gear will be rejected.
Equipment and Check Policy - No returns available, purchase and use ski equipment at your own risk. Montana checks accepted with a valid identification. All nonsufficient fund returned checks will incur a penalty of $30 per occurrence. Cash is always welcome!
Purpose - Provide an opportunity for Madison Valley residents and guests to sell skis, snowboards and accessories which they have grown out of, either physically or through increased skill level. Reduce the cost of the riding/skiing experience for the students (and parents) of the community by providing lower priced new and used gear.
