3-Year Customer & Shop by % off I've been shopping on GearTrade for 3 years now & up to 61 orders so far & it's one of my most favorite shopping sites. Only twice did I have an issue with processing my order & they were very very prompt in replying to my email & fixed the issue promptly. I also like the option to shop by sorting the items based on the % off savings. It's makes it fun to browse when just wanting to shop but didn't have any specific item in mind. I've purchased from both individual sellers as well as backcountry store items. Both transactions always have gone smoothly.

Vague and Misleading Pricing Policy Geartrade has a very vague Pricing Policy that allows them to change your agreed-upon price whenever they want, without notice. I initially agreed to sell a pair of $250 bike shoes on their site for $125. After just over 6 months, they sold the shoes for $37 which netted me just $9.79. At no time did they notify me of any price change. When I reached out to them they said that, "After the initial 30 days of a Consignment item being listed, the price is reduced on a weekly basis to maintain pace with the depreciation of the item." Nowhere is their Pricing Policy does it state such practice. What it does say is, "Geartrade may decrease the price based on market conditions, demand, and seasonality." Although this broad statement questionably covers the aforementioned practice, this is completely misleading. No way would I have agreed to terms that depreciated my shoes by ~14% a month after listing for just 30 days. If this is standard practice for all gear consigned to their site, they should state so clearly. I am very unsatisfied with my experience and although I love recycling gear back into the stream, I assure you that I definitely will never do so with Geartrade again.

I'm only giving one star because there… I'm only giving one star because there isn't an option for negative stars. This company is a parasite and I will never use there service, buy from them, or support there business in anyway. Any company that would take over 50% of your sell is pathetic. Along with other reviews the way they mislead you with pricing is horrific and a disgrace. Basically all I can say is please never use this company and I can only hope anyone involved rots in hell and has a slow and torturing demise. Again with all due respect F&C$ these scumbags!

Great place, good people! Will try to be short. Gear - almost anything you need for outdoor Availability - patience required, but also rewarded (waiting for someone to sell item you want takes time) Handling transactions - no issues, always in time Handling issues - (if you want return, etc) - outstanding! Overall - yes, I definitely recommend this (please log in after I checked the site, I want to get my item first! :))

Great customer service from Scott at geartrade! I placed two orders after I accidentally left out an item that I meant to combine with my first purchase so that I could qualify for the free shipping. I was worried I was going to have to eat the shipping fee, but geartrade was able to fix the issue before the packages were sent out and combine the two orders for me, saving me the shipping cost! Great customer service from Scott! I bought a Karrimor Predator 80-130 liter ruck and the two side pocket attachments for it. Both items were in better condition than described, they were both brand new / completely unused. Super fast shipping too!
