Hi There! Thanks for your interest!
The Used Equipment Sale gives skiers the chance to convert pre-loved equipment into cash!
If you are a new skier looking for an inexpensive way to start skiing don't miss the Used Sale !
The procedure for putting equipment in the Used Sale is as follows:
- 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 definitely the way to sell older equipment.
- Registration is limited to twenty (20) items per person maximum unless special arrangements are made.
- The following items may be sold:
- Skis (Shaped skis only)
- Snowboards
- SkiWear
- Ski Boots
- Snowboard boots
Other items may be sold at the discretion of the Show. The Show reserves the right not to accept certain items.
- Just bring your equipment to Lansdowne Park and go to the Ottawa Civic Centre Exhibition Halls Entry at Arena Gate 3.(You will see a large mobile sign outside the Ski Show entry).
Please note that after 3 PM on Friday you will have to pay a parking fee unless you use the short-term parking area at the front of the Civic Centre and walk your skis down to Arena Gate 3.
Just inside the entry doors to the Exhibition Halls you will see tables set up and someone from the USED SALE will inspect your equipment, help you with pricing if you need assistance and give you a Registration Receipt. YOU MUST KEEP YOUR REGISTRATION RECEIPT. Please note that the Show cannot assume responsibility for loss of equipment.
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).
- Registration hours are ONLY as follows:
- The USED SALE area will be open from 430 PM to 530 PM on Sunday to pick-up your cash or any unsold equipment. Unsold items and cash proceeds MUST be picked up at Lansdowne Park on Sunday evening by 5:30 PM. NO EXCEPTIONS.
- What happens if you DO NOT come back to claim unsold item/s or your cash proceeds?
IF ITEM(S) DID NOT SELL and you DID NOT COME BACK TO THE SHOW to claim item(s), all unclaimed merchandise is donated to one of the ski non-profit associations at the show (i.e. Canadian Ski Patrol, etc.) Similarly all cash proceeds from sales will be forfeited. If you want the cash you have to pick it up at the Show between 4:30 and 5:30. No exceptions.
We hope this answers your questions. We apologize for all the rules, but we have a lot of people to take care of and it's the best system we have found so far! However, suggestions are always welcomed and considered!
This year's show is shaping up to be another great year with:
- More than 100 exhibit booths
- Dozens of resorts from across Canada and the USA
- Plenty of great "show specials" from exhibitors
- And a giant Ski & Snowboard Sale area.
We hope to see you at The Ottawa Ski, Snowboard & Travel Show. Please circle your calendar for October 24-26, 2008 for 3 days of fun and bargains! And The Show has FREE ENTRY !
THINK SNOW and take time to GO!
