Coming Soon… Sell your bike at the Spring Bicycle Show, March 6th to 8th, 2020
Bike Swap 2020 (coming soon)
Gears Bike Shop and the Morning Glory Cycling Club have partnered to help develop a great opportunity for you to sell your old bike.
Starting early January 2020 (and until the Spring Bike Show, March 2020), drop your bike off at any Gears Bike Shop (4 locations across the GTA).
How does the Swap 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 that 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 7 days of the Bike Swap. Items left after this will become the property of Gears Bike Shop
How to prepare your bike for Sale
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)
