Like New Sports and Outdoor Gear — Second-Hand Buying Guide

Sports and outdoor gear graded Like New is worth about 85% of the same item unused, which across this category is $9 to $687 (about £7 to £510). Used a few times. Compressed padding, frayed webbing or worn grip tape all move it into Good, however new the colours look.

Where the line falls

Sports gear is used hard and stored badly: straps and webbing fray, foam padding compresses and stops protecting, and anything with a date stamp quietly expires on the shelf.

For comparison, one grade up is New with Tags Sports and Outdoor Gear and one step down is Good Sports and Outdoor Gear.
