Sideline swap app
It’s Ok.
Easy to use and easy to get the most for your used equipment
Originally listed on FB markplace before trying Sideline Swap and getting 40% more for my used skates AND a quick and easy sale. SS took care of shipping label and it couldn’t have been easier to sell.
Scam alert! I’m convinced
I’m convinced these guys are going to get found out for scamming people. Every experience I’ve had has been horrendous. The first three people who tried to buy something from me tried to trick me into buying Walmart gift cards/Walmart credit cards, obviously I knew it was a scam, but three in a row? That’s highly suspect. Then finally, I sold something, the buyer agreed to everything, he liked all the pictures I posted knew exactly what I was selling, he initially tried to lowball me, but then agreed to the price. Once he got the product, he made a fabrication that the picture wasn’t what he thought so I had to give him a discount, SidelineSwap unilaterally decided to give him a 40% discount ! 40%? It’s ridiculous. The product was exactly as advertised and he ended up getting a discount for exactly what his initial offer was. What a coincidence. And now I’m selling something on there, against my better judgment, I decided to create a new account to try again, and every offer I get is a scam again. Trying to buy only one part of what I’m selling, and mentioning gift cards again. my opinion what they’re tactic is is if they lose money on trying to scam me, it won’t be that much, because the item I’m selling is highly priced, I know somethings up. I hope somebody does an investigation on these guys. I’m definitely going to contact the Better Business Bureau.

If your kids play sports, you need this
I have kids who play hockey. Outfitting them with new gear as they grow out of the old gets expensive fast. Finding secondhand gear to bring down costs is the way to go but has always been difficult and time consuming. Sideline has completely eliminated the hassles. Easy to find gear of all types, the purchase process is smooth and it’s clear Sideline has your back as a buyer. I recently had to outfit one kid with a full set of goalie gear. At his age, a full set of new mid tier equipment would be $1500 - $2000 that he’d largely outgrow in 18 - 24 months. Was able to pull together a full set of lightly used gear from a few different sellers for ~$500. Had everything I needed in less than a week.

Good deals👌
App is legit and includes many items from many sports that are new to used, but the best part is how big of a deal you can get compared to the retail price of most of the gear you find anywhere else. I bought a used baseball bat for $90 that had an original retail price of $300+ dollars and it came barely damaged at all and looked like it hadn't even been used even though it says it has. This app isn't a scam at all is all I can say and it's really amazing for athletes not wanting to spend a fortune on high-quality equipment that usually would cost 100’s to afford.

SidelineSwap You Rocck
Easy to use, great deals, piece of mind, SidelineSwap keep up the great work 👍🏼👌🏻✅
Fantastic source for pre-owned athletic equipment
Can't say enough great things about SidelineSwap. Over the last 1-1/2 years, I've purchased 8 different items on the platform for my kids & I've had zero issues with any of the sellers or the equipment purchased. There is a wide range of gear on the platform at various price points, a lot of it being high quality endemic gear rather than the over-marketed junk often pushed by the big box sports retailers. If your kids are athletes, buying new sporting gear gets expensive as they can grow out of it quickly. Plus, it's often better to buy some equipment for kids used rather than new because it's already broken in & therefore easier for them to use (e.g. baseball gloves). I haven't sold any items yet but I certainly will once my kids grow out of any gear. I tell all the other sports dads about SidelineSwap. It's the best sporting gear resource out there.

Not great
Seller is able accept your sale then cancel last minute, takes several days to get your money back as buyer. Limited payment options. Most are limited to USA or Canada. Cannot sell unless you’re in USA or Canada unlike most selling platforms.
It does the job
I’ve used the app for several years to see my sons outgrown goalie gear. It has always resulted in more money to us than trading those items in at the shop.
It isn’t without frustration. Each year when I look to withdraw the proceeds I need help from customer service for some reason. The layout could be improved, organized better.
I do like that they have the products in the app to pick from, it does help
I use the app, I would have tried another app had one been out there. My boy just graduated high school this year so I’m selling the last of the stuff we bought and don’t need to see if better opportunities exist.
