Gear Swap Coming April 14, 2012
This year’s Gear Swap, a fundraiser for the Ski Tigers Nordic ski racing team, will take place Saturday, April 14, 2012 at Houghton High School’s multi-purpose room from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
The annual sale is a great place to recycle outdoor equipment by buying and/or selling. Buyers find great bargains on used gear. Sellers pay just 15 percent commission per item for the convenience, with a maximum of $50 commission per item regardless of price.
Sellers can check in their items on Friday (April 13) from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., or Saturday morning 8:45 to 9:45. Sales begin at 10 and end at 12:30. Sellers pick up unsold items and/or payment from 1-2.
The swap usually features lots of cross country skis and sometimes a few alpine skis and snowboards; a good selection of boots, poles and other ski accessories; a variety children’s and adult bikes along with bike tools, parts and car racks; camping gear like tents and backpacks; a big selection of outdoor clothing; sometimes kayaks, canoes and boating equipment; soccer cleats, ice skates and other sports equipment; and other items that help us play outside and enjoy life in the Keweenaw.
The ski team will also glide-wax skis for summer storage — $10 for nordic, $15 for downhill and boards.
