New policy = I will never shop with them again I bought a pair of golf irons from them a few years ago that were missing a 7 iron. I wanted to upgrade and hoped to sell them back to them, but because it is not a full set they will not take them. I BOUGHT THE CLUBS FROM THEM!! Terrible policy. read more

Sometimes I go in there and the staff is friendly and awesome. But majority of the time it feels like we are bothering them . Honestly selling stuff online is way better than going here but occasionally I find a good deal. The trade in value is never very good - and the selection probably be better if they offered better trade in value. Or maybe if the staff was a little friendly- more people would want to come in. read more

Play it again! This a great place to get sports equipment without paying a lot of money. Friendly owners and staff.

I'm very happy that new people came in and bought the store from the old owner. I didn't want this place to go. They're doing a great job in these pandemic times. You can't go inside the store, they have a table set out front. I wanted to buy a golf putter so I called beforehand and they were able to quickly tell me what they had. I stopped by and they brought out the putters for me to look at and I bought one of them at a very reasonable price, along with a few golf balls. It was a smooth and safe transaction! read more

Ive enjoyed having a used sports equipment store in Eugene and have bought and sold many things over the course of 30 years here. Today, I had an unpleasant experience with one of the staff there, perhaps even its owner, though I dont know. He was a moustachioed, thin man. I brought in a camp stove and three river-rafting jackets for them to consider. Another man there, quite burly and courteous, said he was interested in the rafting gear. But the other man said that they didnt take camping equipment. Fine. When I moved to place the rafting stuff on the counter, the moustachioed man repeated that they didnt take "it." And then, as I put the rafting gear on the counter, he said, "No takee!" I am Asian American. I knew what that meant. I said, "I speak English. I heard you the first time," and added an expletive. Then he said, "And how--I guess you do," likely referring to my expletive. Then he added he wasnt going to take "anything." I gathered my stuff and left. This kind of thing used to happen to me fairly regularly here in Eugene, but that was 20-30 years ago. I am angered its still happening now. I am disappointed that a staff member or the owner of this business felt so free to insult me with this comically racialized speech. Is Play It Again Sports a place for "Whites Only"? read more

The owner of the store ignored me on entry along with all of his staff but somehow found a way to greet and help everybody else who walked in never coming back seems like I'm not the only person of color to have this problem either sad read more

Found the staff very friendly, helpful, and honest here. A much different shopping experience from a big Sporting Goods Store which I appreciated. I feel depending on your needs it always make sense to buy used vs new even w/ sporting goods. Remember "reduce, reuse, and recycle" that "reuse" comes before "recycle" or trash! read more

Get your gear from a sports store!! This is not a place where your satisfaction is guaranteed or where you would expect customer service. We purchased two sets of snow shoes (brand new) with proof of purchase. We used it once and told them if would could return and maybe upgrade to a better set. The best they could do is "I could buy them back for $20 a set"! read more

Terrible experience all around bottom line is they are awful including the completely clueless owner that always has an excuse. Whatever happen to customer service and employee training cause it's certainly not practice at this store! read more

I came in to see how much an item would cost. I stood there for at least 5 minutes. They weren't really busy at all and they saw me. They didn't even acknowledge me. As soon as someone else walked in, I felt like they gave them the royal treatment. Very poor customer service. Believe me, I will never return. It seemed to me that they didn't really care at all. I'm surprised they're still open for business. I'm being generous and giving them only one star. read more

Bought a bike lock from here. First time using it and the damn lock won't open. Called the shop and explained my situation. Zero f*cks given by the employees. I understand it's a shit job but now I'm definitely never going there again. Not will I be referring anyone to this business. read more

I have gone here for years. Every time I get a wild hair to learn a new sport or try a new exercise regime. They carry quality merchandise for reasonable prices. The staff are consistently knowledgeable never making fun of my ignorance of sports. They give me good advice on what would not only fit my beginner needs but what is worth spending money on and what's not. Never once have I been upsold to an unnecessary purchase. read more

Came in today looking for a pair of baseball pants for my son. Store is well stocked; but lots of treadmill type machines. Does seem clean and tidy! Customer service is seriously lacking; 3 employees up at the front desk were involved in their own conversation and didn't approach us or ask if we needed assistance. We found the baseball area and were looking to purchase blue pin-striped youth baseball pants. We thought by checking with them first we may save some money! We are visiting here from California for a baseball tournament and my son forgot his "other set" of baseball pants. I didn't want to spend much & since he would only be needing them for one day, we thought we would check this spot first, but unfortunately they didn't have what we were looking for. I approached the employees and asked if they could call another site : 1 of the 3 locations listed. The one guy, I managed to pull away - I had him call the closest location which they didn't have anything either! He then claimed they didn't have the number to the other one ( farthest place ) he said "we don't have their number because we generally don't do business with them". Okay!?? We just left & ended up calling around to Dicks, Sport Authority and checked a few thrifts with "no luck" either. Our best bet is to have my son "barrow" from another player who may not need them that day ( if their not playing) or from another player here from our "other" team. Beats the previous options & at zero cost! read more

They offered me 70 for my 500 dollar bicycle and just as I said yes the other guy working came up and said "no we can only do 60" rude people! read more

Found an awesome longboard in great condition for much less than it would have been new. Plus found a really nice basketball that my daughter wouldn't stop bouncing so we had to get that too :) Service was good, prices were right, and they gave me a 10% off coupon for the nest time. I'm sure there are overpriced things in the store, but I was totally happy with what I got. read more

Great store, great staff, local owners, great selection. I always have a good experience when I stop in. Such a refreshing experience from the "big-box" sporting goods chain that offers no support post-sale. read more

Best place in town to find that hidden gem or great deal on equipment! Helpful staff and great with the ever changing need of kids shoes. The used equipment is quality and not like any other second hand store. They restore, refurbish, and make used equipment feel new again. Quality local service and back up everything they provide! read more

Took several baseball items in to sell to them around $600 dollars is what I paid for all of it. They offered me $13. What a joke!!! I guess I should have asked if they preferred if I just gave it to them. I will never do business with anyone like that. read more

First place my family and I stop for sports gear. Great prices and quality gear. Also a fantastic way to get rid of old or unused gear. Staff is always friendly, fun and helpful. My nine year old loves to stop by to see the new arrivals. If they don't have it, they will tell you the best place to get it. read more

If you need a few bucks for some Meth or crack. This is the place to get it. They offer money lower than pawn shops. All you see walking in and out of Play It Again Sports are tweakers. The owner of this store just doesn't care. All the employees look like tweakers too. Stay away, you're better off buying new! read more

I found the staff to be arrogant and kind of abrupt. I went into get a long-standing credit for which, when it was issued, I was assured I could redeem for cash at any time. As I walked in I was asked what I needed and I told them. The young salesman told me Getting cash for a credit was not allowed. I said that I had been promised that I could do exactly that. He, in a fairly demanding voice, said "who told you that?". It had been years so of course I didn't remember and I said so. He told me he was sure it was not possible to get a cash refund and "I'm not gonna do it". I was then invited to "wait around for 15 minutes for the manager and you can ask him". As I was telling him that I wasn't planning to do that and that the manager could call me, the manager walked in. The employee yelled at the manager" this guy wants to cash out a credit" to which the manager said "fine", and proceeded to give me my money. What could have been and should've been an ordinary business transaction was almost a confrontation because of the immature sales person with the bad demeanor. I felt like I was dealing with a child (with a beard). As soon as the manager volunteered to give me my money the offending employee got super embarrassed and left the scene. Basically, it was poor customer service incarnate. But, it should be said that the manager gave me no problem and was fine. read more

While I love this concept, this business does not execute. Visiting on a somewhat busy Saturday afternoon, I was not greeted when I entered (not a big deal for me), and was left to myself to navigate a disorderly, helter-skelter of cardboard boxes and sports randomness. After perusing for awhile, I was disappointed that "used" prices were not too different from that of brand-new equivalents found at competing stores. Willing to give the benefit toward a local business, I heaved my item to the front desk and was greeted with clerks more interested in their phones and lunch, than in customer service. Granted, the savory pizza laid out on the front counter looked amazing...but I digress. When the clerk finally rang me up, he gave me a total that was nearly twice the amount I expected to pay (based off of price posted above product on floor). I told him this, but he didn't seem to care, and neither did I. I left sans sale, and will not be returning any time soon. I really want this place to flourish, but it needs some serious overhaul in order to do so. read more

Yes they are happy to pay you $5 for $60 soccer cleats. However, you will get more value out of the tax deduction by giving them to St. Vinnie's I bought a u-lock for my son's bike and it was stolen a month later. They only carry the one brand. The locks have no warrantee and reviews on line indicate that they can be opened with a PEN. When I talked to the manager about the quality of the lock, he claimed that they had never had a complaint about them. He went on to say that even the manufacturers who warrantee locks won't honor the warrantee in Eugene. (So why bother to carry good locks right?) In the city with the highest rate of bike theft in the country, I expect the local shops to carry quality merchandise. Play It Again fails to meet that expectation without appology. Once again, Play it Again is willing to take your money and leave you in the lurch. read more

My daughter is attending UO and wanted a used bike to get around campus since she is on a budget and believes in repurposing. She is on a tight budget and this was her first larger purchase unassisted, something she wanted to do on her own. She had saved her birthday money and purchased a bike that was older, but was assured by the salesman that it was in great shape with minimal use. She was proud of her purchase and looked forward to biking instead of walking to school. The first time she rode it the chain broke in half two miles from her home, leaving her stranded. Upon further inspection by a reputable bike shop, we discovered it was so worn it wasn't worth repairing. Beware and do not take the word of anyone associated with the store. Don't purchase anything without and independent inspection unless you are knowledgable of the product, unless you want to get ripped off. read more

Have sold to & bought from these guys. Never had any problem with anything. The store dog makes shopping fun.

I'm not an avid athlete needing the best you can buy so when I need something, Play-It-Again is my first stop. I've found great deals on both new and used equipment and the staff have always been great. The store dog is wonderful! read more

The folks at play it again sports are always fair in there dealings, and I have been going there for years: they have an excellent inventory that is always changing. I stop by here on a weekly basis to check out the stuff. The staff is friendly and helpful. read more
