Geartrade.com Reviews 243

I bought a sleeping bag and I needed it in time for my trip. They let the seller know and ask to send faster. I got it in time. They are good working people.

hi.I used to sell stuff on GT but i prefer ebay. To make an listing here takes way too much time. Picking gender...than confirming that the listed item is either mens or womens - too much time wasted.Pictures uploading-same problem.i have to go with one picture a time(when you have 10 pictures it really take too much time to list an item)Also,communication with buyers/sellers is bad.Many of my sentences are getting lost(or not shown in full) so the seller have no idea what i'm asking about etc.I'm not sure why backcountry went on ebay...(I guess they want to boost business/ebay is known internationally).Bottom line,I like GT and i will keep looking for good deals!

I got an amazing deal on my Canada Goose parka and it was in excellent condition...couldn't be happier with my experience.

GearTrade is a great resource to pickup good quality gear. They are my first choice for my outdoor supplies. I have been very happy with my purchases and do not have any reservations about recommending this site.

Never Had Any problems.

I have ordered several things off of GearTrade and received them quickly with no hassles and great prices. I check website regularly for things I'm looking for.

I think the website is user friendly, I have got some seriously great deals. I'm just starting to think I about selling some gear I don't use since gear trade is such a reliable site.

I was in need of some new hiking boots, put in a search for a used pair and bam! up comes GearTrade with one set of the boots I was looking for and they happened to be in my size! I had never used GearTrade before but the price was right (about 1/2 off retail for slightly used Salomon boots) so I bought them. The boots showed up a few days later - exactly as shown in the pictures - and I am a very happy customer.

I got my package in just a few days and it was just as I expected.

just minus the return policy, thats why i took 1 star off.

you probably should let the buyer talk to the seller about the return policy.

I love the idea that this is primarily the site for Backcountry's returns and damaged goods. You know their products are authentic and you can find some decent deals on quality outdoor gear. Unfortunately, the search engine is just terrible. You type in a few key words in the search bar and it brings back garbage. Honestly, its probably the worst search tool I have ever used on any site. I even took the time to contact customer service a year or so ago and I defined the issue in a way that they could easily replicate the horrible results. They responded saying that's the way it is and I should try another method to search. Try it -- type "XL Jacket" in the search box, then sort by "price lower" and see what comes back on the first page. I'm left truly bewildered. So I go less often to their site and search through their offerings less often...not really knowing if I'm actually seeing/finding the products I'm most interested in.

I ordered a new water vest I had been looking for at half the price of other internet retailers. I was a little nervous to try it but everything I was told about the item and the delivery were handled perfectly. I would use the site again.

If you're buying anything from Backcountry.com on this website, expect honest conditions and lightning fast shipping with an amazing price. I love this website!

I use it only because Backcountry/Competitive Cyclist list lots of returned and barely used gear, and they always give very accurate thorough description+free super-fast shipping. It's like the outlet of Backcountry/CS's outlet. There're good deals from individual sellers, but most of the gear they list either has a lot of wear or inadequately priced, sometimes both.

Have great gear! I recommended this highly!

It was the ideal system for finding gear!

I have loved every transaction on this site.

I enjoyed the variety of goods available on the site. The system works well. I ordered three items, and two of the the three didn't ship. I didn't get billed, but it was still frustrating to wait for the items, only to find out the seller didn't have them. Good way to save money if you are not in a hurry to get the items.

I have used Gear Trade to buy and sell for several years and it has been a good experience all around. My only complaint is that It takes a while to get paid and that there is no direct deposit option.

I've never had a bad experience on geartrade. Great all around.
