I'm in the process of cleaning out a storage locker because they keep raising my rent on it…read more.. A couple items I had in storage were sports related. A 10.5 ft Viper kayak (used a couple of times) and a kayak cart (still new in box). I decided to take both into Play It Again Sports. I didn't really want to deal with selling them privately on eBay (local pick up), Craigslist, or FB Marketplace. Play It Again Sports is the only place I know of to sell stuff like this other than a normal consignment shop (Stuff Etc. or a different place like that). If you are a seller they will give you cash or in store credit. The in store credit offer will be more than the cash offer. The kayak was purchased for $240ish new a few years ago. The gentlemen I was dealing with at Play It Again Sports said they'd sell it for around $100... Offered me $50 The kayak cart was purchased for $40. Was still new in box... They said they'd give me $7 If you don't mind the back and forth messages with possible buyers. People lowballing you. Having to arrange to meet someone...who may or may not show up, etc. Selling privately might be a better option for you... As far as putting the maximum amount of cash in your pocket...selling privately is definitely going to be the better way to go Like I said... I didn't want to deal with the hassle of selling these privately so I took their offer. At least it paid for dinner that night for my son and I... So you know what to expect... As a buyer you can probably plan on getting a used item for half off new retail. Maybe less if the item has been sitting for a LONG time. As a seller Play It Again Sports is probably going to sell your used item for half of new retail, and offer you half of that in cash (25%ish of new retail). It's a great resource to have to get rid of unneeded sports items. You at least get a little money back v. donating the items to Goodwill, etc. To wrap things up... I found the staff here to be polite and great to work with. I dropped in with no call ahead and the process was simple and easy. If you have sports equipment to get rid of maybe slide in and check them out... Doesn't cost you anything but time. Don't like the offer you can always say no and choose to go in another direction. If you are a parent looking to save a buck... Definitely stop in!

Can't say how happy I am with the shop. It was definitely full, but clean with great friendly service. We had a great experience!

I purchased a Callaway AI Smoke Max driver and I did not like it, so I returned it three times…read more They then refunded $481.49 to me, which was the trade-in price. The driver was in resalable condition and undamaged. Another cashier had told me that I could return it anytime within 60 days if I didn't like it. Unfortunately, the store did not have the right fitter, so I was unable to find the correct golf driver for me. I don't understand why I was only refunded the trade-in price. I purchased the driver from the Des Moines, Iowa Golf Galaxy store, and the manager, Collin, handled my return. No one explained the return policy to me in detail. If the cashier or a salesperson had provided me with more information, I could have made a more informed decision. I believe that I should be refunded the full amount of $631.50. I was very disappointed with my experience and ended up going to Dick's Sporting Goods to use the gift card I received. their manners to coustomer is not kind and they act like big king here.

The team at EKGolf has transformed my ability to play and also how I feel after a round. I like to…read morecompare my results to using a table knife as a screwdriver. Yeah the knife can be used from time to time but if you've got a bunch of screws, you're better off with the right tool. Originally my capability was like the knife as screwdriver- specifically I had poor balance, reduced range of motion to be able to get into a good position, and lots of aches and pains after a round. Today I'm able to turn my body and make a reasonably good shot. There's little to zero pain and discomfort after a full day. The team has made the physical aspects of golf easier and I'm playing--and enjoying-- the game more. As an older golfer approaching 70 I'm a strong proponent of their program. It's been a real transformation!

The whole process was easy and fun and no pressure. I could have bought the same treadmill on line but I wanted to shop local AND I wanted the peace of mind of knowing that I had a local business backing my purchase should there be any issues with it. I also got a better price than the listed price online :) I thought I knew which treadmill I wanted but after trying them in person I went with something else in my price range with a better warranty. If you are spending money on workout equipment that you want to last for years then I highly recommend trying before you buy and also buying locally with Johnson Fitness!

One of our friends hadn't played in 15 years, but after about 30 minutes, he was hitting the ball almost to the back of the net. The spots for storing your own clubs work well for smaller bags, but my cart bag didn't fit. I also liked that you can buy buckets of beer. Getting started was a bit frustrating for some people because you need an account, but once that was set up, everything was simple and we had a great time.

Whoa huge hat wall! Checked out this store to find a fitted baseball cap…read more Nice large store with all sorts of sports memorabilia and gear. Great location in the mall, original spot where the Disney store used to be (ha! If anyone is as old as I am to remember that!!!) and right by food court. Visited on a Friday afternoon. Surprisingly no customers were around. 3 employees standing behind the cash register counter. Looked like 1 was having lunch out in the open. (My immediate thought was...shouldn't you be in a back room/break area to do that??) One employee said hey. I guessed the area I needed to look but couldn't find anything. I asked for help after 5 min. But they didn't have what I was looking for. Stuck around to browse. No one else asked to help me or to help me find an alternative. Was expecting someone would be outgoing to help but they weren't. Maybe me lugging my 3 little kids with me seemed like a hassle to help. They probably don't work commissions so why should they waste their time helping a clueless mom??? I'll stick to buying online or finding another store that has employees who are helpful. Deuces.

What I like is the amount to choose from! They don't limit what sports teams they have. The staff is very knowledgeable in when items come in. I was looking for KC Royals hats in a larger size and they could tell me when the new stock was coming in 3 months out. They have a huge assortment of novelty items. Lots of hats to choose from. They even have some custom signs and 3d cut outs of football fields. It's an excellent spot to pick something up for a gift.
