Individuals, 3:00-7:30 pm - Just bring your ski and snowboard related gear to Newport High, fill out an inventory card for each item and we will put your inventory card in our inventory system and the item out of the floor in the appropriate place.
If you have a lot of equipment (over 35 items), send an email to don@skiswap.info and I can arrange for you to come and get inventory cards to fill out prior to the swap.
If you want to DONATE the gear, put DONATE as your name on the Inventory Card. This means Newport PTSA takes all proceeds and you get none.
If you can not pick up the check & your unsold gear, provide a self addressed, stamped envelop and we will mail your check. Gear not sold will be donated.
The closest and easiest place to drop-off your gear is from the new West Parking lot but you can come into the school from the North & East parking lots as well. Please do not use the bus turn-around on the south side.
Sale - Sat 8 am - 8 pm, Sun 8 am - 3 pm
Come in any time, we will have lots of merchandise and help throughout the sale. On Friday evening, perhaps you have the maximum choices but also maximum craziness. Last year, we sold around $160,000 in gear Friday night in 4 hours so it was very busy. We sold another $100,000+ on Saturday in 7 hours so a much slower pace. We have a large facility (10,000 sq. feet) and an improved parking this year so it should be nicer Friday evening as well. On Saturday afternoon, there will still be lots of inventory, bargains and more time available working with the professional ski & snowboard technicians to find the just right gear.
Equipment Pickup - Monday, 3:30 am - 5:30 pm
Individuals - Please come on time, not early and not late. Please don't ask for special favors -- get that from family, friends, or neighbors. A bunch of volunteers have just had 2 1/2 really really really big days and we have thousands of items (last year over 7,000) to account for and only a few volunteers to do all of this. We have 3 hours between 7:30 and 11:30 to add up all the sales, check, double-check, write the checks and arrange them and your gear neatly for you to pickup.
If you don't pickup your inventory, it will be donated to Goodwill and other charity organizations with-in TWO weeks. If there is an issue after the swap, send your name, address, inventory number & equipment type via email to don@skiswap.info.
Again, Thank you for participating in our swap whether volunteering, buying, selling or all three.
We will do our very best to make this a good experience. Thanks for your patience.
