Gear Swap
The Stanford Outdoor Education Gear Swap is a yard sale of sorts- for all things Outdoor Adventure related! SOE will be selling off used gear, including (but not limited to!) climbing shoes, backpacks, sleeping bags, tents, sleeping pads, ski helmets, and more. In addition to SOE gear, SOE welcomes Stanford affiliates to sell their gear for a 20% consignment fee. Please read on for details on consigning your outdoor equipment during this event.
Stanford affiliates = Stanford undergrad students, grad students, Post-Docs, staff, faculty, spouses/domestic partners, hospital staff and alumni. Please note that building access rules apply! You may only consign gear if you have a scannable Stanford ID or have access to guest passes to enter the AOERC building.
Who can attend the SOE Gear Swap? Anyone! You do not need an ID or a guest pass to attend the event or to make a purchase. On the day of the event, customers will be asked to enter through the back of the AOERC building.
