REGISTRATION INSTRUCTIONS

Thank you for joining our Winter Gear and Sports Swap

The success of our fundraising event is dependent on the winter gear that is available to purchase by the buyers that come to find good gear at good prices. Equipment that is priced appropriately sells quickly. The ski swap is a consignment sale, the event organizer will retain 30% of the sales price. All consignment proceeds will be used to support youth skiing in south central Alaska.

STEP 2

Add Inventory

Please fill out all of the fields and choose if you would like to discount your items during our happy hour (the last hour of the sale). You can upload a photo if you would like for your and our records.
Click Add Inventory.
Repeat as many times as many items you have.

When registering each item, sellers can indicate whether to donate the item if it does not sell during the swap instead of picking up the item(s) later that day. Sellers can also choose to sell items 10, 25 or 50% off in the last hour of the sale by selecting the corresponding percentage in the Discount drop down menu. Unsold items under $120 not picked up by 5:00 p.m. after the sale will be donated to organizers.

Please register as a seller and add your items BEFORE the day of the sale (by 11:59 pm on October 3rd) to ensure that you can see full item description and the status of your item’s sale in your account. We will accept gear the morning of the sale, but you won’t be able to see exactly what you sold, only the item number.

* If you are considering donating item(s), please do so prior to the start of the swap. 100% of proceeds from donations benefit UAA Ski Team and Alyeska Ski Club. Tax deductible forms available.

STEP 3

Download and Print Labels

If you are doing it all at once, you can just click the Download/Print All Labels button on the right after you are done adding inventory

If you need assistance with printing labels, there will be a printing station at the gear drop off. If use of the printing station is required, an administration/supply charge will apply. Sellers using this option will be required to pay $5 for five or less items and $1 for items thereafter.

PLEASE NOTE: Once you download the tags, you won’t be able to edit the items anymore.

STEP 4

Securely attach tags to your items.

It is very important that you securely attach your tags to your items. When printing your tags we strongly recommend that you use card stock paper.You can use regular paper but you will need to reinforce your tags with cereal box style carton (except if tags are for skis). When reinforcing your regular paper tags with carton, do not use liquid glue. We recommend clear packaging tape.Place tags on your items using clear packaging tape and avoid taping over the barcode. Two-part items (boots, gloves) must be attached together with heavy twine string.

Please follow these instructions/recommendations on how to place the tags for the following items:

Ski Boots: Print 2 tags (one for each boot). Put tags on the back of the boot above the heel and tape the whole tag to the boot. Do not tape over the bar code. Use string to secure both boots together.
Skis: Print 2 tags (one for each ski). Place tags flat on the top of the skis below the tip. Do not tape over bar code.
Poles: Tape poles together. Tape tag around the poles.
Clothing: Make sure to print on card stock paper or reinforce your paper tags with a piece of carton. All tags should be attached to items with a string. Whenever possible tags should be placed on the inside clothing tag or on the main zipper. If using a pocket zipper, please use the left pocket (this will allow for better organization during the swap). If your item does not have a good spot for string, consider safety pins.
Skates: Print 2 tags (one for each skate). Tape the tags behind the calf part of the skate.
Others: We trust your judgment on doing your best to securely place your tags on your items. Again, understand that we do not take responsibility for poorly tagged items.

Please note that if an item tag comes off during the sale, this item will not sell as there will be no way to track it. This also means your item will most likely end up in the donation pile! It is the seller’s responsibility to properly place and securely tag items for sale.

STEP 5

Drop off your items.

Once all your tags are printed and securely placed on your items, you are ready to drop off your gear on Friday evening between 4pm – 7pm or Saturday morning between 8:30am-11:30am.

*Please note that if an item tag comes off during the sale, this item will not sell as there will be no way to track it. This also means your item will most likely end up in the donation pile! It is the seller’s responsibility to properly place and securely tag items for sale.

Swap workers will place the equipment onto the sales floor for the sale. When the sale begins expect hundreds of shoppers to be on the sales floor shopping for bargains. The ski swap will see several thousand customers on sale day.

The ski swap is a CONSIGNMENT sale. The seller will put his/her equipment onto the sales floor at the risk of the seller. Thousands of items will be on the sale floor. THE EVENT ORGANIZER WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST OR STOLEN ITEMS.

It is the responsibility of the seller to mark and package items securely to reduce loss.

STEP 6

Pickup your unsold items and collect payment.

You can pick up your unsold items and check at the Alaska Airlines Center on Saturday, October 4, 2025 between 5p-6p. Checks that are not picked up will be mailed to the address you provided at registration.
