SidelineSwap, the online marketplace for sporting goods, announced the launch of its resale program in partnership with Perani’s Hockey World.
According to Brendan Candon, CEO of SidelineSwap, “In the new circular economy, where consumers are increasingly embracing the resale & purchase of used goods, SidelineSwap provides sporting goods consumers the ability to easily resell their used sporting goods quickly and safely from their homes. This puts more money in the pockets of consumers, while also allowing the used gear to play on to another athlete and remain out of landfills.”
Candon went on to say: “That’s a win for retail partners, a win for their customers and a win for the buyer of used gear who accesses high quality skates at a steep discount.”
To-date, SidelineSwap has helped over 1 million athletes resell their used gear and is part of the larger global resale movement, led by fashion resale marketplaces such as ThredUp, The RealReal, and Poshmark.
Robert Perani, vice president of Perani’s Hockey World, stated: “We are excited to partner with SidelineSwap to enable our customers to tap into the residual value of their used sports gear to help defray the cost of new hockey gear for the upcoming season. We know hockey families are looking for ways to save money, so giving them a resale option is not just good for business, it’s good for sports and the environment.”
