We aim to make the process of consignment as easy and transparent as possible at Durango Outdoor Exchange. After all, consigning your gear here should be a win-win experience that feels fun and rewarding for you each time.
When you bring in your gear and apparel, a consignment specialist will meet with you individually. We will go through each of your items and decide what we will be able to accept at that time. If you have price expectations, we love to hear them upfront. We often get the gear entered onto your account and out on the shelf to sell on the same day you drop it off! We will email you that evening with a full inventory list for your records and review.
Here are some frequently asked questions and answers regarding the process...
Durango Outdoor Exchange FAQ’s:
-My item list that was sent to me on the day I consigned has items that show a status of “U” (unavailable). Does that mean they’ve already sold?
Answer: Yes! Items often sell the same day they are consigned and this indicates the item has sold unless otherwise marked.
-Do the values in the item list reflect the listed price or the commission rate?
Answer: The item list emailed on the day you consigned reflects the prices we assigned to each item.
-What are the commission rates?
Answer: We have a tiered commission rate structure as shown below. For all of our terms and conditions, please reference the merchandise consignment agreement athttps://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0369/8268/5836/files/DOE_Consignment_Agreement_BB_Rev._1.6.2021.pdf?v=1610383976
-Do you email when items sell?
Answer: No, but you are able to access your account information, including items listed for sale, sold items, and accounts payable by visiting our consignor login portion of our website and using your email address as both the username and first-time password.
-How can I retrieve my balance?
Answer: We ask that people visit us in person to collect their payment via check whenever possible. We offer a 10% bonus on the amount owed when you use your balance as store credit. Account balances can be used as part store payment and check payout if you’d like to purchase something that is less than the value of the total amount owed.
-I have moved out of town. Will you mail my check?
Answer: Yes, please reach out to us with the best mailing address and we will mail your check.
-Do you payout in cash, venmo or other means other than check or store credit?
Answer: No, our operating system is integrated with Quickbooks and writing checks and/or spending your balance as store credit are the only two options for collecting your balance.
Maybe you’ve seen other telemarkers carving beautiful turns on the mountain, maybe you are looking for a new challenge, or maybe you want to really work those quads–either way, getting into telemarking is fun and challenging.
Telemark skiing is a blend of Nordic and alpine skiing that combines the grace of cross-country with the thrill of downhill turns. Central to this style is the telemark binding, which allows the heel to lift, enabling a skier to lunge gracefully through turns.
Ready to pick up some telemark gear? Here’s some great news: Unlike downhill bindings, telemark bindings don’t get put on indemnified lists, meaning there is no set age at which they cannot be mounted. This meansbuying used telemark gear can be a great deal.
Backcountry skiing lets you carve fresh tracks in untouched snow far from the crowds. You can explore, conquer, test yourself, and more, all far from the resort boundaries.
With access to untouched, remote slopes comes the need for specialized equipment. Going into the backcountry unprepared can mean not only a rough time, but it could create real safety problems. The right gear ensures not only performance but safety, enabling you to handle the unpredictable nature of the wilderness.
No, getting a high-quality backcountry skiing setup is not cheap, but the good news is you can buy almost everything used.Durango Outdoor Exchange has top-quality used gear that will have you climbing the mountain in style. This guide will show you what you need to get started.

Whether you're new to the sport or a veteran, one of the best ways to enjoy cross-country skiing without breaking the bank is by opting forused gear. Buying used gear makes the sport affordable and accessible to a huge audience. Read on to learn more.
