Thanks for the advice. I do know about PIAS. However, I have heard they don't pay much for the gear people bring in.
The other thing about the ones out here in Denver are that they are mostly kids hockey, baseball, lacrossse, and some ski/snowboards. There isn't much in the way of truly outdoor gear like tents, backpacks, snowshoes, etc. The stores are always dingy and unwelcoming as well.
Maybe I feel I can do it better, even without a proven system in place.
I really appreciate the feedback!!!
