Where to find used sporting equipment

Feb 2004

I am a soon to be soccer-mom who just discovered the Sports 4 Kids Swap Shop in Berkeley. Although they didn't have our exact size in soccer shoes, they did have quite a few other pairs, including brand new ones (at new prices), and lots of other sports clothes and equipment. It's a charming place, a Non Profit Organization, all of their things come from donations (a great place to give things away!), and as I underdstand it, 80% of their profits go to needy schools for sports programs. I was totally charmed, will definitely return to browse on a regular basis, and to clear our our closets too! 2095 Rose Street (at Shattuck) in Berkeley, open Tues-Sat. acm

As both my daughters are still growing, the purchase of certain kinds of athletic gear is sometimes cost prohibitive. There is a store called Play It Again Sports that specializes in used sporting goods of ALL types. They sell and buy merchandise. I have purchased surf boards, boogie boards, roller blades, baseball eqpt, and scuba gear there. I have also found 2 wetsuits there. They carry many more products than this also. Each store is independently owned and operated. Two addresses are:

Play it again Sports Tanforan Town Mall San Bruno
Play it again Sports 1200 Contra Costa Blvd. Concord

 

I am certain there are more stores than just these two. Feel free to share this information.
