Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What do you accept for consignment?

A: We consign used sports equipment that has not suffered any serious or structural damage. Wear and tear is natural, however we maintain a high standard so that second-hand users can enjoy their purchases for seasons to come.

Q: What if I would like to give away my equipment for free?

A: Due to space concerns, Cheapskates cannot accept any items that are overly worn or damaged. We encourage customers to take advantage of local clothing donation bins if an item cannot be sold in our store.

Q: When can I consign my items? 

A: We are able to accept items for consignment throughout the day, however all equipment and apparel are subject to our seasonal consignment rules. Check out consignment rules for more details.

A: Customers are free to chose their own price for items sold in the store. Our staff are always happy to suggest a starting point or advise customers based on current stock. Learn more about the Cheapskates pricing system here.

Q: What if my item’s price becomes too low or reduces to zero?
