Who doesn't like a bargain? This small, yet stuffed floor to ceiling, business has tons of used sports equipment. Some of the equipment is slightly used and some is very used. BUT it's all priced appropriately. There is a wide variety of sports represented. This is bargain hunting: so the opportunities are hit and miss. If you are in the bargain hunting mood, the shopping center Play It Again is located in has several other used and bargain shops. I can't imagine you couldn't find a bargain in this shopping center. (Heads up: there is a second/return tool store in this center as well.) This is a good bargain opportunity and a good center for spending a partial day searching for the right item at the right price.

MESSAGE: "Don't invest your money, time, gifts and talents where you're not honored, valued and respected!!!" At beginning of February 2021, I called 'Play It Again Sports' (32nd St & Greenway Pkwy, Phoenix) and apprised Chris of my Treadmill need. Chris apprised he'd call as soon as one came in that met my specs. I called Chris 25 March, as I'd not heard from him. He apprised that he had a foldable, 3 horsepower treadmill. I stated I'd be in the next day, and arrived to Play It again Sports @ 140pm Friday. The NordicTrack C970 PRO treadmill was larger than I planned. I asked him if he'd allow me a few hours to go home & measure my space. He agreed, told me they close at 6pm, said he'd put my name on the treadmill and that he'd look into getting me a better price. As promised, I called Play It Again Sports the same day @ 505pm, was left on hold for 22 mins., in which time I sensed something was wrong. Chris answered the phone and gave a hurried, half-ass apology stating that his brother sold my treadmill without him knowing two hours earlier. Then said, 'this happens often'. ..WHY AM I WRITING THIS REVIEW: Because This Is BULLSHIT!!! There's no way - in a storefront smaller than a one bedroom apartment w/o walls, that Chris didn't know his brother was selling my NordicTrack C970, which he'd committed to me less than 2 hours earlier. Because the store front is very small, I believe he had to have been complicit in the sale of my NordicTrack C970 PRO to another!!! WHY AM I WRITING THIS REVIEW: Last June 2020, I paid $100.00 for an item at the 'Christian Family Care Thrift Store', which happens to be in the very same complex as Play it again sports. I returned one day later as scheduled with a truck to pick up my item, and they actually SOLD THE CHAIR I'D PAID FOR utilizing the same lame ass explanation, 'O, another employee sold it without me knowing,' said Leonard, the manager. BULLSHIT!!! A few 'sold' tags were on the item. BESIDES, I'm definite that neither store can recall reselling a white customer's previously paid for product, or selling a product to another they'd previously promised a white customer. YES, It's about race!!! And if it's not race, it's about getting more money. I don't believe either store was ignorant of the sale of my product... they made no attempt to retrieve my product... gave lame explanations as to how my product was sold, and gave insincere apologies. WHY? Because they saw no value associated with my black face! OUTCOME: I'm reporting 'Play It Again Sports' unethical practice and racial discrimination to B.B.B. In the interim, this has once again taught me to find somewhere else to spend my black dollars... MESSAGE: "Don't invest your money, time, gifts and talents where you're not honored, valued and respected!!!" 786

32nd St/ Greenway location Had great luck at this location for a used elliptical machine--- good prices and they deliver! They have a wide variety of ellipticals, treadmills, stationary bikes and a variety of weight room type stuff. As well as sporting equipment. This location is a good place to find used and new items for affordable prices! It's also environmentally friendly since you are purchasing a previously owned item! Staff was friendly and knowledgeable-- while in there, I saw staff helping a family get a little boys baseball gear. They do consignment as well, so if you aren't in the market to buy something, you might be in the market to sell something! Delivery of the machine was timely, the next day!

We visited Between the Lines while we were in town for Dodgers spring training and had such a great…read moreexperience. I'm so glad we chose not to buy from a bigger sporting goods chain like Dicks and came here. We had a very good personalized 1 on 1 experience with Dylan and Tanner who were very knowledgeable and helpful with helping my son choose the right glove. They have a great selection of bats and gloves amongst other baseball and softball equipment here. The store is just big enough without being overwhelming. I can't thank Tanner and Dylan enough for the wonderful experience. They also have glove break in service which is normally $60 but $30 if you buy the glove from them. Since we are out of state they said they could keep the glove and complete the service which is 5-7 days and then ship to us. 10/10 recommend!!!

UPDATE: I'm upgrading my review to 5 stars because Dylan the manager reached out to me later in…read morethe day and was kind enough to offer me an exchange for another set of catchers gear...huge turnaround for what I consider to be a large purchase. Customer service like this will definitely bring me back as a customer! Wish there was a zero star option. Bought $300 catchers gear for my daughter's birthday (of course no way to try it on first since it's online). Their site claims easy, hassle free returns/exchanges;however, somewhere on the site (mind you, not on the listing or the actual order) their policy states no refunds/returns on any item discounted over 25%. I'm now stuck with ill fitting gear (which is correct size according to sizing guide). I offered to buy a $400 set in exchange and they offered a 15% discount if I order from them again...why would I buy there again when I'm stuck with a crummy purchase? If you're getting a "good deal", make sure you're getting exactly what you need, or you will be stuck with it...poor customer service! Never again.

Been shopping at this location since 2017/18 and always had the best experience, special thanks to…read moreall the nice people working here. Last week I needed some help with my second backpacking trip to Havasupai and met Alec in the store. I was so surprised that he went above and beyond for me and my questions and recommended several good options not only for the hike but for the car camping as well. Since the experience was so great, I texted my friends from out of the state and asked them to use REI at Paradise Valley for their purchases because of a great value and quality. Hence proved again and again, the REI is the best option for your outdoorsy needs. Thank you brother Alec!

So I was on the hunt for some new walking tennis shoes for outside that are zero mm heel to toe…read moredrop or neutral and have enough toe room for my toes to spread but I also have a very thin heel, so kinda difficult to find the perfect shoe. However, I'd been reading about the Altra Escalante and saw that this REÍ had them, along with some other brands. I'm so glad that I popped in here as the salesperson was super knowledgeable about what I wanted for my new walking shoe. He found several different brands that might work and I went about trying them on. I narrowed by search down to two when he suggested that I take a few laps around the store! That made all the difference in making my final choice! I did buy the Altra Escalante and they have been working out perfectly! They weren't cheap but they are definitely worth what I paid.

Sure, they get busy but that's because they are doing something right. If you go on a Saturday, you should expect more people. The prices are very competitive and they always take their time with you. If you want great prices on quality ammo, these guys have that too.

I rarely write reviews, but my experience purchasing my first firearm at Sportsman's Warehouse left…read moreme compelled to share what happened. After about a year of researching and shopping around, I purchased a Ruger 9mm handgun. As a first-time firearm buyer, I expected the employees handling the sale to be knowledgeable, attentive, and careful, especially when recommending ammunition. Unfortunately, I learned more from other customers in the store, particularly one helpful gentleman, than I did from the staff. The most concerning part of the experience became apparent after I brought my purchase home. Along with the firearm, I bought ammunition recommended by the salesperson. Trusting that recommendation, I loaded the magazine. Although something seemed unusual about the fit, it never occurred to me that I had been sold the wrong ammunition for the handgun I had just purchased. A few days later, while showing the firearm to a friend, he noticed the discrepancy: the ammunition was .380, even though my handgun was a 9mm. I had planned to go shooting the following day and was also arranging professional training. Thankfully, my friend caught the mistake before I attempted to fire it. My concern was that, had I proceeded to fire the weapon with incompatible ammunition, I or someone nearby could have been seriously injured. That possibility made the store's dismissive response especially troubling. I called the store the next day and went in person to speak with the manager. What disappointed me almost as much as the original mistake was how casually my concern was handled. I was offered a $10 gift certificate, and the response left me feeling that the seriousness of selling incompatible ammunition had been dismissed. I emphasized that this was a safety concern, particularly for someone purchasing their first firearm. I expected a meaningful acknowledgment of the mistake and an explanation of how the store would prevent it from happening again. Instead, I left feeling brushed aside. I subsequently emailed the manager more than once and received no response. I understand that employees work hard and mistakes can happen. However, verifying that the ammunition being recommended and sold matches the firearm being purchased is a basic responsibility. Both items were part of the same transaction and appeared on the receipt. Since then, I have visited other firearm retailers and found employees who were more courteous, knowledgeable, and attentive, with comparable products and prices. My one-star rating reflects both the ammunition error and the inadequate response that followed. A $10 gift certificate felt dismissive given the nature of the issue. Based on this experience, I will not purchase another firearm from Sportsman's Warehouse, and I would encourage other buyers, especially first-time buyers, to consider shopping elsewhere.
