By Clicking "Register & Status Gear" above, you are agreeing to the following:

A. Create a seller profile and register gear

All inventory must be entered online. There is no gear entry at the swap.
You get 75% of the Sale price. There are no mark-downs during or after the swap.
Gear Entry will be closed the day before the sale.
- This gives us time to print and prepare the last tags for Check-in.
- We will start printing tags starting 10 days before the sale. Once printed, your record is locked and you can no longer change it. If you want to change it, you will need to create a new record.
By registering gear, you are also agreeing to pick-up unsold gear on the pickup day/time.

Failure to do so is an implicit act of donating the remaining gear.
Sign Up to create a seller profile or Enter your ID if you have already done so.

Save your User ID and password as you will need them again several times.

We are using the same software this year so your previous profile should be available.

CRITICAL - Double check your home address as it is where we send your check/money.
Enter gear in the form and Press "Create Inventory" button to add gear.

If you have 35+ items, email skiswaphelp@gmail.com to have tags mailed or picked up. Cutoff for this is Nov 4. You can tag your items at home making it much faster at gear drop-off. Tagging Instructions *Return all unused tags when you check-in.

B. Drop-off Gear -

Fri, Nov 8, 4pm-9pm

Sat, Nov 9, 8am-9:30am

Please come on Friday if possible.
Saturday drop-off is tougher for us as shops are bringing in gear and the swap is starting at 10:00.

Drop-off is in the Commons, use the east or west school main entry doors.
Gear that is broken or no longer saleable (ski bindings primarily) will not be accepted
Unsafe gear found during the swap will be set aside and be available at Pickup.
We do reserve the right to reject any item based on age, condition, or indemnity issues.
There will be NO early or late gear check-in available.
If you want to donate gear let us know at Gear Check-In.
Note: Used underwear and socks are not allowed.

During and After the Sale

Check the sold status online during or after the sale.
If you do not wish to pick up unsold gear, please mark "Donate" online,
preferably immediately after the sale closes.
Clothing donated is given to the needy thru several charities. Other goods are sold to charities supporting ski & snowboard training for the disadvantaged.

C. Pickup Unsold Gear -

Sun, Nov 10, 3pm - 6pm

Check the Sold Status online before picking up.

Please come during pickup time 3-6.
- After 6:00, your gear will be in a truck heading to storage and donation within a couple days.
- Your gear will be in the main gym by type as orderly as possible.
- We will have volunteers to help.
- We will also be in the process of disassembling the swap in preparation for school the next day.
Before coming, print your unsold gear list. You should also get an email that there is unsold gear.
If you do not see an email Sunday morning, check your Junk folder or go online and download and print it
Before exiting, you will need to prove that the gear is yours.
We will scan it to show it as Picked Up or Donated. If Missing then we will enter it in the database.
If you did not find an item at Gear Pickup, we will add a "Not Found/Missing" status.
- If it was later found, its status will be in "Storage".
  You will get an email with Date/Time and location where you can pick it up.
  If not found, we will assume it was lost or stolen, mark it Sold and add it to your check.
If there was an unforeseen circumstance (accident, hospitalization, etc.) during pickup, send an email to skiswaphelp@gmail.com for a Last Pickup exception.

D. Payment for Sales

You will be paid 75% of all equipment sold, not for equipment donated.
We will attempt to send your check within 2 weeks of the swap.
Thanksgiving and also holiday mail delivery sometimes delays the check a bit.
Sale status issues may cause us to send a second check when resolved.
You must cash your check within 6 weeks of receipt or it will be cancelled and considered a donation.
If you have an issue, send your name, inventory number & equipment type to SkiSwapHelp@gmail.com.

The Newport Ski Swap will:

Manage your gear and sales income as securely as possible (police officer, security at doors, double processes, etc.) People do still manage to switch labels and steal gear. We will take all issues very seriously and do our very best to treat our customers fairly.
Print the tags with a barcode and attach them to the gear when you drop it off.
Keep the Registration page active so you can check the status of gear sold.
We will send a reminder email after the sale to all who have gear to pick up.
There may be a follow-up reminder for gear found that did not have a tag.
We will hold the unsold and donated gear for 3-5 days to accommodate unforeseen circumstances.
email skiswaphelp@gmail.com
We will attempt to send checks for sold gear within two weeks of the swap.
If there are sales processing errors, we will send a follow-on check when it is resolved.

Ski/Snowboard Recycling - A ski recycler, Ski Artistry (brochure) will be at the swap. If you bring unsaleable skis or snowboards to the swap that are broken or too old to be serviced by ski shops due to insurance restrictions and safety, Ski Artistry will recycle them for you. If you have other gear, you contact them directly at any time via "Contact Owner" on the site, Ski Artistry.
