ADK Cascade Welcome Center launches consignment program

LAKE PLACID | ADK (Adirondack Mountain Club) has just launched an innovative program that will make enjoyment of the outdoors a more affordable reality for some recreation enthusiasts. Running on a commission basis, ADK's Outdoor Gear Consignment Program at Cascade Welcome Center will facilitate the sale of used gear, free up space for sellers and allow purchasers to find quality outdoor equipment at a discounted price. With this program in place, Cascade Welcome Center is situated to not only help visitors plan for a safe and responsible outdoor adventure, but also to equip them for it. "Sometimes the high cost of getting started in outdoor recreation causes people to shy away from trying a new activity. The consignment program at Cascade Welcome Center will offer quality used gear at a discounted price, creating a more cost-effective avenue for people to get outdoors without a full retail price tag," said Tom Manitta, ADK Deputy Education Director. Items that are accepted for consignment include Tents Sleeping bags and sleeping pads Internal or external frame backpacks Single- or double-blade paddles Hiking boots Trekking poles Hammocks Camping stoves Gear must be clean, include all parts and pieces, and be completely functional. Additionally, the summer program does not accept skis or ski accessories, clothing of any kind, soft goods (like rope or climbing harnesses), or hunting equipment. Opportunities to consign skis and ski accessories will be made available in the winter months. Anyone interested in selling their used outdoor gear is invited to bring items in during Cascade Welcome Center's summer hours, which are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day of the week.
