How does the Sale work?
Used bicycles must be in good to excellent condition to be accepted for sale.
Bicycles will be inspected by Gears Staff to confirm that they are in proper working order and safe to sell – We reserve the right to refuse any equipment that is deemed non-serviceable or un-saleable
Consignee will be paid by cheque from Gears once sale is final
Bicycles sold at the Bike Swap will be subject to a 25% consignment fee or 20% if towards in-store credit
Unsold bikes will need to be picked up at Gears within 30 days of the Bike Swap. Items left after this will be considered a donation to Gears Bike Shop

To help you get the best possible price for your used bicycle, we highly recommend the following:
Clean the frame
Clean excess oil and dirt from the drive train
Ensure that the shifters, derailleurs and all components are fully functional
Pump up the tires
Make note of Brand, Model, Size and Model Year (this will go on the hang-tag)
