Dick’s Sporting, SidelineSwap expand resale partnership

Dick’s Sporting and SidelineSwap, the world’s largest online marketplace for new and used sporting goods, are expanding their resale partnership for the third straight year to offer SidelineSwap’s recommerce services to more DICK’S athletes throughout the U.S. The growth of this partnership comes in direct response to consumers’ increased interest in resale to both save money and live more sustainable lifestyles. Throughout 2024, DICK’S athletes will be able to drop-off their used sports gear at SidelineSwap trade-in events at select DICK’S locations throughout the U.S. The used gear will be evaluated by SidelineSwap buying experts, and athletes will be paid with DICK’S e-gift cards to use towards their next purchase. Items that do not qualify for trade-in can be donated or recycled responsibly. DICK’S athletes who attended trade-in events in 2023 received an average payout of $120 for their used gear, and nearly all customers surveyed said they would be interested in reselling their used sports gear at least once per year. Trade-in events in 2024 will be held at DICK’S locations in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Illinois, Michigan, Colorado, Wisconsin, and Georgia; with additional states potentially to be added.
