If your sports closet is filled with outgrown gear or if you need equipment for your child, you need to know about CT Sports Closet. This just-launched youth sports equipment consignment aims to get lightly used equipment out of storage and into new athletes’ hands. It’s a great way to buy already broken in ice skates, pricey baseball bags at a fraction of the cost, lacrosse pads for new players, lightly used cleats for fast-growing feet and more.

How to Sell Your Gear

If you have old equipment that you’re looking to get rid of, send CT Sports Closet a message on Instagram or via email for the drop off location or to coordinate a local pickup and fill out the consignor form. You’ll get 50 percent of the selling price. If your items haven’t sold in 60 days, CT Sports Closet will return or donate them depending on your preference.
