DICK'S Sporting Goods Announces Plans for 200+ SidelineSwap Trade-in Events in first half of 2023

PITTSBURGH, Feb. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- DICK'S Sporting Goods (NYSE: DKS) and SidelineSwap, the world's largest online marketplace for new and used sporting goods, are building on the success of the 60 trade-in events they executed in 2022, and are expanding their partnership to offer a series of 200 trade-in events in nineteen states through the first half of 2023.

At these trade-in events, DICK'S athletes can exchange their used sports gear and receive DICK'S gift cards to use towards their next purchase. Athletes also have the option to donate all or a portion of their trade-in value to select local sports organizations. Items that do not qualify for trade-in can be donated or recycled responsibly.

 

DICK'S athletes who attended the trade-in events in 2022 received $88, on average, 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 2023 will be held at DICK'S locations in Pennsylvania, California, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia, Georgia, and Tennessee. More detail on store locations and dates for upcoming events can be found on: https://www.dickssportinggoods.com/s/dicks-trade-in-by-sideline.

According to Brendan Candon, CEO of SidelineSwap, "Last year's trade-in events with DICK'S clearly showed that DICK'S athletes loved the convenience of trade-in events, and enjoyed being able to easily turn their used sports & outdoors gear into credit to spend at DICK'S."

"With the start of the spring sports season approaching, this is a great time for families to take stock of what they have and what they need," said Peter Land, Chief Sustainability and Communications Officer at DICK'S Sporting Goods. "SidelineSwap is a terrific partner that's supportive of our efforts to make an impact in the re-commerce space."

DICK'S Sporting Goods athletes who attend trade-in events at select DICK'S locations can simply bring their used gear to the event and it will be evaluated by SidelineSwap buying experts using SidelineSwap's proprietary trade-in software and value guide.

To date, SidelineSwap has helped millions of athletes trade-in and resell their used gear and is part of the larger global resale movement. U.S. households are sitting on 23.6 billion unused items worth $580 billion, and used sports gear accounts for approximately $20 billion of these unused items.
