Second Ascent is well known in the Puget Sound region as the place to go to buy, sell and
trade good quality used outdoor equipment and clothing. Since opening our doors in Ballard in
2001, we continue to expand our selection of new equipment from a wide variety of the best brands in the
industry, as well as maintaining a fresh selection of closeouts, samples, and quality used gear.
Here's How It Works:
Just bring in your used items anytime during business
hours, and one of our buyers will have a look and make you an offer.
If you want cash, we offer roughly half of
the amount that we will price the item at for resale. (Some exceptions apply). If you prefer trade, we offer
roughly 60% of the price that we will put on the item. Trade value may be applied to purchases immediately, or
it can be issued as a store credit (for merchandise only) for use at a later date.
We never give estimates over the phone.
Due to space limitations, we buy some items only seasonally. For example, used ski packages don’t
work so well for us in July. We may ask you to bring things back at a different time of the year.
