I bought a used ez curl bar here last month for the small garage gym I'm assembling . I tried to use it last week and found the normal stop Collars would not fit. The ends were not a standard 2 inch. So I came back yesterday to find a solution. He asked me to trade in the Bar in question , gave me a 60 pct credit on original purchase price , I bought another used curl bar with a military Discount with the stops included. So a better bar , complete for Less net $$ than new collars on EBay. And I could make sure it all fit. He said he would deal with the other bar and figure out a way to make it right later on. For me, this was great service I Highly recommend coming here for used and new discounted sports equipment. read more

Chris & Lucas saved me! I need to bike daily. After ACL reconstructive surgery if I don't bike every day, I don't walk. Play It again Sports allow a 50% buy back. I was able to rent a spin bike for 4 weeks and then return it for 1/2 the purchase price. Some might find that expensive but for me it was a life saver. I was staying at my father-in-law and was able to function normally. I couldn't have done it without Play It Again Sports! read more

So many different sports supported here! We come to the Play It Again on Speedway for all my kids' various activities. They grow out of equipment so fast that it's great to get less expensive used gear. The staff is so helpful, especially Chris. He always finds just what we need, and the kids have been inspired to try out new sports too. I don't worry about buying the extra stuff that they find there because it's so reasonable. We even found a bike for a friend who was wanting to learn but her family couldn't afford one. The best part is that we can also bring in the stuff that didn't really get used or damaged and get store credit or cash. For a family with growing kids, this place makes all the difference in being able to support their endeavors. Thanks for always being so helpful! read more

They lowball you on what you are selling, saying that they will only sell it for a certain price and then if you return while the item is still for sale you will see it for almost double what you sold it to them for aswell as more than what they said they would price it for I understand it is a business and needs to profit but the lying makes zero sense to me read more

good help and products. I do not like to type so consider this as my sacrifice for today have a good day, our product from you is working good read more

Customer for many years. Always had what was needed. Staff attentive and helpful. I'll be back!

Play It Again on Speedway was an incredible find! They have lots of hiking equipment (packs, sleeping bags, etc.) to start off New Year's resolutions right. Chris was really helpful and knowledge not only about the stuff in the store, but also about what else might work for specific needs. Their prices are great compared to the big retail stores, and I really appreciated the assistance getting just what I needed. While chatting, I also learned that they've helped get several seniors in my mother's retirement community get set up with in-home equipment for those who couldn't go out for physical therapy. Truly great staff and a wonderful store. read more

Have been shopping at Play It Again for over 10 years and will continue to do so! Great selection of new and used sports gear. Chris and staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Best part, you can trade in your gear for cash or store credit!! Won't shop anywhere else but here for sporting goods! read more

You can probably fine what you're looking for if it's a common sport, to include bicycles and weights. The store is organized by category but you'll have to dig through stuff to find the right "something." I wouldn't say it's dirty though you can easily tell it's a secondhand sports good store. The prices (for I was looking at) seemed reasonable and the staff were nice but not immediately helpful. read more

Went to PIAS on Speedway, looking for an exercise bike, and got Lucas as my sales person. Great man!!! Very knowledgeable, answered all my questions, gave me pros and cons on various pieces of equipment, and I walked away with the perfect exercise bike for me, (also a needed set of 12-lb dumbbells). Thank you, Lucas!! read more

If you're anything besides wealthy, these stores do a great job and selling great quality refurbished goods.

Stopped by looking for a dodgeball, they were out of stock. We did purchase a soccer ball and a volleyball. They had a lot of used equipment (roller skates, bikes, etc) and an assortment of new items, definitely worth checking out. read more

I came here at the suggestion of a friend to find some bowling gear, but it was a less than ideal experience. The store smelled terrible. I have no idea what I was smelling, and when I asked the person working here what it was, he said that he didn't know, and that it had always smelled like that. It took me a little while to find bowling gear. but when I did, I found the stock lacking. Bowling gear is apparently not something that you can find easily, which is not the fault of the staff here. However what they had in stock was old and terrible looking. I didn't check for the price, but would not have even paid a dollar for them, since it looked like they had been in there for many years. Other than that, it was well stocked with equipment, and the customer service there was decent. The selection of bikes was also pretty good, though it looked like some of them were too expensive given that they were unclean and in need of maintenance. read more

I called this store selling my treadmill. I spoke to Chris the owner who was great. He knew his stuff about the treadmill and gave me a more than fair price. The store is family run and have a huge selection of sporting goods. I didn't notice any smell in the store and I was able to look freely without any pressure of buying anything. No-one was hovering over me. If you are looking for weights, sporting equipment, treadmills, ellipticals or anything you name it, Chris has it. Come see him! read more

Over priced, owner hovered over me like I was gonna steal something the whole time, Only a cheater can spot a cheater, what was I gonna take a 30 LBs weight or roller blade in my pocket read more

Probably the weirdest experience I have ever had in a sporting goods store, possibly the weirdest of any retail store. Me, walking in to search for a snorkel mask at the same time as an older couple who proceed to immediately call for the manager before even looking around the store. He wants a bike, but, he explains in his thick Eastern Block accent, the seats are uncomfortable and there are no bikes that allow you to sit. The manager points out about 6 bikes in the middle of the room, that are just that, recumbent bikes. The old man is not satisfied with this and wants to argue some more. He has only been in the store about 45 seconds and has not even looked at a single bike! Every time his wife tries to speak he raises his voice and speaks to her in Ukrainian or some such until she is quiet. In the meantime, I busy myself looking at snorkel masks because that is what I am there for. I am confused by the mask situation because it seems as though some of them are prescriptions?!?! WTF. And I can tell it is going to be a long time before I get any service as the old man is still railing on the return policy and cuts both his wife and the manager off before they can get a single word in. My frustration mounts as I notice the prices for these masks are about the same as the price at Sports Authority for a brand new mask! Even though the masks Play it Again are selling are covered in sand, half are broken, most are smelly, and some appear to be prescription! After nearly 10 minutes of confusion I am about to leave and finally another customer service guy appears and I tell him that this selection is quite frankly gross, broken, or just useless. He picks up a mask, puts it to his eyes and says "whoa, this would give you a headache." Yeah, because it is prescription!!! He tells me the snorkel masks are half off. Well, fine. I select one and get out before this experience could get any weirder. read more

What the hell? I went in to purchase roller blades and I was treated like I'm about to steal their 5 dollar skates. I have never stolen anything in my life and when I'm ready to, it won't be a used pair of roller blades. Thank you. read more

Their used Equipment is priced just under retail regardless of the equipments condition. I have gone to multiple locations for items ranging from weightlifting equipment to bicycles and camping gear, I have often found damage to the items, even a bike with faulty breaks ( they denied the breaks were broken until a full demonstration) and then said the bike was priced accordingly, taking into account the brakes were not working. If the staff was a little less arrogant it would help, but the staff is not knowledgeable about what they carry and what items cost new, but are quick to raise their voice and argue. If you are selling to them they will give you next to nothing, it is about markup - They do not have a lot of competition so I assume that's how they stay in business, I am finding that Amazon, bookmens have more for less, with better service. read more

I'm surprised by the number of one- and two-star reviews for this place. It seems, though, that many of those reviewers were complaining about their trade experiences. I have only been there as a buyer, so this review should be taken for what it's worth. Having been there numerous times, I can't say that I've ever had a bad experience. Everyone has been friendly to me. I will agree with others that I've often gone in there expecting lower prices for used goods. But I've also been to Bookmans Sports Exchange, which is several minutes to the west of them, and if anyone's prices are out of line, it's Bookmans'. Between the two, Play It Again generally charges less--never by a wide margin, but enough to make a visit worthwhile. Depending on what you're shopping for, Play It Again either has a better or worse selection than Bookmans Sports Exchange. If weight training or competitive sports are your thing, you will likely have better luck at Play It Again Sports. For bicycling and cardio the selection is about the same. For camping and other outdoorsy stuff, go to Bookmans Sports Exchange; Play It Again has next to nothing in that department. Finally, go to Bookmans if you want something weird like juggling equipment or darts. Chances are, they'll have it. read more

I love this store because the staff is super friendly. I occasionally bring items in for trade and they're extremely reasonable with what they acceot as well as what they offer. I can almost always find what I'm looking for here as far as my kids' sporting needs. read more

Went into Play it Again Sports for the first time on Speedway and Swan. I will be honest after reading the reviews on this store I didn't expect much. I was pleasantly surprised. I was greeted right away by friendly staff and lead to what I was looking for. The pricing was great! I made my purchase while trading in the equipment I brought. I was given a very good price on trade. This store is huge with tons of used equipment! I spoke with the owner while I was there and he explained he is retraining his staff on customer service and It really does show. I will be back Christmas is around the corner. read more

Play It Again Sports - Traded in my stuff! Great price given! - Sporting Goods Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I visited this store today after going to the Bookmans sports exchange down the street. They have parking right on the street and more on the side. The store is a bit old but once you step inside WOW talk about a sea of used equipment. I was helped right away by a very knowledgeable sales person. I found a great deal and they held it at the counter while I shopped around for some camping gear. I wanted to see a tent and the sales person set it up right I front of me. This has got to be the best mom and pop sporting goods store in Tucson. Way better than the Bookmans sports store I went to earlier today. I give the staff and Store an A+++ read more

Play It Again Sports - My kiddos and nephews ! So cute!!! - Sporting Goods Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Just like the other Play it again sports I really enjoy coming here to get QUALITY new and used equipment for my garage gym or sports. The prices are extremely competitive and every now again you come across a steal not sure why you'd bother with the big chains. Don't forget to ask for the 10% military discount. read more

Hm. I was really excited to stop by here with my boyfriend since I recently got back into working on my fitness and needed some weights and a jump rope! The store seemed well stocked with new and use equipment of all sorts. I quickly found what I needed and headed to the register. The man who checked me out was quite nice (seemed to be the owner), but there were 3-4 other 'employees' walking around during my visit just completely ignoring me! It made me super uncomfortable and even my boyfriend noticed how odd the other employees were? Are they not there to answer questions or help? Besides that this place is filled with good equipment at reasonable prices and I would definitely go back! read more

I bought a soccer ball here for $20 with no labeling or packaging except for the price sticker. It was very heavy, perhaps an indoor soccer ball.. not what I needed, so I took it back to the store within the 30 day return policy. and the guy would not let me return it. he was trying to SELL me another ball. This place is a customer service black hole. I will never shop here again. I really like the idea of using secondhand stuff, but you're really better off going to Target, (got a new ball for 12.00 new) saving money and stuff is returnable. read more

Play It Again has a fine concept, but used sporting goods should be discounted more deeply. Charging $30 for a used Thermarest isn't exactly putting it to the Man. The ski gear is beyond old school and some of the equipment is probably dangerous. The staff doesn't know much about any of the gear, sometimes including the prices. The parking lot, narrow and steeply descending directly into Speedway, is iffy. It don't impress me much, as Shania sang... read more

I went in looking for a motorcycle jacket. I told them I only had 87 bucks. They took down one of the two jackets they had. It was brand-new, original tag still on it saying 169 bucks, and they gave it to me for what I had. A+, 100%, will visit again. read more

I wish I could give 0 stars. I go in to buy my son a coach for coaches pitch baseball and explain to the sales guy they play with hard balls not with the soft balls used for t-ball. The sales person ensured me the NEW IN PACKAGED bat was for baseball. First at bat with the new bat there is a huge dent. I take the bat back that is now only a week old and am told that their are no refunds. While i understand that makes a ton of sense on used equipment not on something new. What bothers me the most is even though the bat comes with a 1 year manufacturer warranty it wont do me any good because they are going to resend me another T-ball bat. I will never shop their again. read more

I wish there were more of these places in Washington. I went here a few times while I was down in AZ last and always had good experiences. They have a pretty good range of new and used (mostly used) sports gear and supplies. They people at this location are exceptionally nice and will help you track down whatever you need. read more

Jason the owner reached out to me after my bad experience and bad review at one of his store. He invited me in to speak with him and explained why I had the problem with the equipment I had originally purchased. He helped me pick an item that would work better and gave me credit for what was already spent. You have restored my confidence and earned my business back. Thank you read more

For cheap sporting goods it's the place to go. For quality sporting goods and customer service it's not. If you want some stuff for a weekend away and don't want or need new stuff this is the place for you read more

Coming in to a place like this my expectations are pretty low to begin with. But what I'm assuming is the supervisor brought that down to an amazingly lower expectation than I could imagine. After having my stuff checked out one of the employees came up to me to say they'd give me x amount in cash. I replied and said ok, so she told me to head over to the desk where I'd be taken care of. Standing at the desk the "supervisor" was ringing some folks out so I waited quietly. Once the last person leaves he turns to me without saying anything and try's to hand me some cash. I ask him if I could do store credit and he replies "it's too late, I've already bought the stuff from you". I politely replied telling him he couldn't have possibly bought anything if I don't have any cash in my hand. He then clearly got defensive and proceeded to tell me he already put the items in his system and he couldn't take them out. Then gave me in these words "take the cash, or take your stuff". Finding that I didn't have time to argue with this man and that I would never be coming back, I took the cash and left. Note that at no point in time did I change the tone of my voice or raise it. Here's a couple of notes to the owners when deciding who to have represent your business: -At least try to judge an employees intelligence: Store credit would have obviously been far smarter for him to give me. It would have kept cash in the drawer and brought me back into the store. -Had he truly been "unable to take them out of the system" how could he tell me to take the stuff or take the cash? -It was quite clear this employee was simply too lazy to redo the transaction. (Which he conducted without my final approval) Even the slightest bit of customer service would have been appreciated from this gentleman. -I understand this is a used sporting good store, I'm not expecting five star service, frankly all I'm expecting is someone to run the register and say thank you, use this to your advantage, the only way you have to go for customer expectations is up. It's rather unfortunate to cross a long time local business off of my consideration set. read more

Came here to sell my treadmill, the guy working was a complete jerk about things. Not to mention how they low balled the offer, and told me they would sell it for more than half what they would give me. Never buying from them ever! read more

I go into two different Play It Again Sports in town--the location on Oracle, which is far away from me, and the one on Speedway that I could practically walk to. Unfortunately, the one on Speedway is horrible. And it's not the prices or equipment that make it so. The older gentleman who is always in there (owner?) is non-stop rude. No matter what you ask, no matter what you say. He is rude. I don't get it. I've stopped using this one and go and buy my used sporting good from the Oracle location as they are helpful and polite. read more

The customer service is lousy here. I had someone helping me, but he excused himself to wait on someone else (she was trying to sell them a used piece of equipment). After waiting almost 15 minutes for him to return, or for the other salesperson to help me, I left and will not be returning. read more

Just bought a slightly used elliptical machine. Got a great deal, respectful service and happy throughout. Equipment was delivered today, just as expected. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a good deal on quality gently used equipment. read more

I was told one price on the phone then when I get there it's two and a half times the amount that was actually discussed , bait and switch pawn shop tactics. I will never buy anything from any Play It Again Sports read more

Mom wants a recumbent exercise bike and found one she likes at PIAS for $199/new. I took a photo of the user guide so I could look up information on google: The actual LIST price is $159, and WalMart is selling it for $139 (+$5 shipping). Guess where we bought it? WTF Play It Again? read more

One of the worst businesses in Tucson. Huge rip-off. Be sure you really want it....no cash refunds even when you pay with cash....What a waste. read more

I received the best service today from jeff and jason! I badly needed to replace a bike tire on my boyfriends bike because some jerk stole it. They knew exactly what I needed and got it right away for me, they even assembled it for me! Ive shopped around a little bit before i discovered they not only had bikes but tons of bike supplies and parts as well. Im super satisfied with my service, the knowledge of the employees, and the price was amazing : ) thanks again guys, as always you are the best!!! read more
