How the process works
1Bring your quality used outdoor gear into one of our four Next Adventure locations. One of our staff members will inspect your items and determine a resale value for each item that we take.
2You will be issued an in-store credit based on factors such as cleanliness, age of the item, seasonality, size, stock on hand, and cool-factor!! Often this lies within the window of 20-40% of the resale value.
3Your credit can be used on either new or used goods at any of our local stores!
