There is a $2 non-refundable tagging fee for registering each equipment item (i.e., $2 for a pair of boots, $2 for a pair of skis etc.). If the item does not sell, the tagging fee is retained.

You keep 70 % of what the items sell for; you benefit from an energetic selling staff which can get you the right price; and you don’t have to spend money on advertising -this is the best way to sell used equipment.

Registration is limited to twenty (20) items per person maximum unless special arrangements are made.

All equipment you wish to be sold may be dropped off to any Kunstadt Sports location the week of the show (Friday October 11th-Thursday October 17th) during Kunstadt Sports’ operating hours.  Equipment may also be dropped off at the EY Centre (4899 Uplands Dr.) on Friday October 18th from 4pm-7pm.  Kunstadt Sports staff will assist with pricing and transport of equipment to the show (if dropped off at any Kunstadt Sports retail location from Friday October 11th-Thursday October 17th)

Additional Information

As an additional security measure, we request that you attach an adhesive tape to each piece of your equipment with your last name marked, and a phone number.  This is an additional precaution in case a tag is accidentally separated from the equipment.

If item(s) did not sell and you did not come back to the show to claim your item(s), all unclaimed equipment will be donated to one of the non-profit ski associations at the show (i.e., Snowhawks, etc.).  Similarly, all cash proceeds from sales will be forfeited.  Please ensure you come for your unsold equipment/cash between 4pm-5pm on Sunday October 20th.
