Dylan and Adam were great, and I appreciate their help today!! It was my first time visiting Wonderland, and my first time consigning with them, but they made me feel welcome. The process was nice and streamlined, and I even ended up making a purchase since they have a sweet selection of quality wares:) Also, the store is easy to navigate and doesnt feel cluttered! Thanks, yall!

I LOVE this place! Staff is super friendly. Always an EXCELLENT selection of items. Decent prices (with some really good deals if you look for them). And on the consigner end of things, Ive always felt that their pricing was fair (sometimes even better than anticipated), as far as the amount I received from the sale of any items I brought in. They give a higher percentage payout than most consignment stores in the area, which is awesome. So, check this place out, you wont regret it!

On a trip from Florida we happened to be taken to Wonderland Gear Exchange and were fortunate to be there when they were having a blowout sale.It was so very well organized, the gear, the lines for people during vaccinated Covid, people wearing their masks. All in all a truly great experience and super finds!

Sold a few larger items at Wonderlands recent summer blowout sale. Ben and his team made it super smooth and easy to drop off gear for consignment. So glad to have those items off my hands, and mega grateful to have a bunch of cash as a result!

This place is great for second hand outdoor goods. The service was prompt and they followed up just when we needed some questions to be addressed. Not too pushy, just customer focused! I would recommend this store for consignment or purchasing goods at a great deal. Some of the snowboards on sale were not even used! I will probably purchase some camping stuff from this store for a wicked $ discount.

So much top brand merch at a fraction of the original price. Today I tried on hiking gear, scuba equipment, winter wear and unfurled a 2.5M stunt kite, but ended up getting a sick deal on some flight proven hiking boots. Will be back for winter stock up.

As a customer, I like the broad gear selection, fair prices, and staff who are friendly and helpful, without being pushy.As a seller, I feel like a partner, rather than just a customer in reverse. They tell you up front what their cut is, and their incentive is to get you the best price for your gear. Unlike some other ways Ive sold used stuff, I dont have to worry about pricing things well or advertising in the right forum. I just bring it in and trust them to do their job well.

Review №12

This is a fantastic place to peruse used gear ranging from backpacking and camping gear, to mountaineering, cycling, and even surfing. You can also put your own gear up for consignment. Prices are reasonable, staff is friendly and knowledgeable. If youre looking for something particular and arent in a hurry, this is a good place to check periodically and pick up gear at a good price.

Please stop by Wonderland before purchasing anything new!Wonderland is a well organized used gear store that does a great job balancing quality of consigned gear and price. I have been able to consign gear here and use my money to purchase a few things for myself (or you can cash out if you prefer).They make the process very simple with an intuitive online system. I love stopping by the store to check it out once a week, and not to mention, the folks who own this place are exceptional humans. They are all so kind and inclusive, it feels like a true community here. 10/10 would recommend.

There are some sweet deals here. But if you find a really awesome deal they might tell you they made a mistake at the counter and mark it up.

You should definitely stop here before ordering anything new. The selection keeps growing and the team is really helpful and cheerful in setting you up with what you need! I really appreciate that they also carry new items for small stuff like ski straps, backcountry meals, gas canisters, and so much more! On the consignor side, its basically seamless. They are super organized, communicative, and prompt. And you should 100% follow them on social media!!

Review №19

Wonderland is my happy place. i love looking at what they have in stock and come in at least once a month just to browse. The employees are all super helpful and friendly. I’ve also gotten some really good deals from here for quality gear, which is always great. As a consigner, I think the money they give back is fair. I always recommend to my other hiking friends to get their gear at wonderland, and will be a loyal supporter for probably forever.

The outdoor enthusiast shopping situation Seattle needed! Wonderland has an abundance high-end, quality used gear at good prices. Ive consigned with them and my items sold quickly and of course Ive also purchased gear through them - all of which continues to perform today! If youre past the point of renting equipment or ramping up into a new hobby, save the cash commitment on new stuff and swing by Wonderland first. Theyll likely have what youre looking for with modern styling/tech listed at ~40% off of new retail.

Review №21

This is a wonderful place to get new and used gear. Super helpful and friendly staff, lots of turnover of clothes and gear. Highly recommend. The new location in Fremont is superior to the old location in north Ballard. If you have kids, this is an excellent place to get outdoor gear for kids and then sell it back and upgrade as they grow.

These peeps and store are awesome - I brought a handful of gear to consign a few weeks ago and the process for me as a first timer was so straight forward, so thoughtful and so easy. The selection at the store is excellent. As someone who LOVES outdoor gear but is on a budget and wants to live a little lighter on earth - Wonderland is without a doubt my favorite outdoor store in Seattle.

Walking into Wonderland Gear Exchange is like walking into a dreamland! Once inside, you are guaranteed to have landed in a space that has all of your outdoor gear and clothing needs (as well as being loaded with everything else you never knew you needed). Each item has been thoughtfully received, carefully looked over and selected purposely for the market. Whether you are consigning gear or leaping for joy at finding just the right items at an amazing price, youll be glad you stopped by! And to top off your trip, youll be greeted by the friendliest of staff!

Really great store with an excellent inventory and super helpful staff. They were happy to explain the prices on boots and other gear and justify thier prices (that were great for used gear). If your looking for used gear for outdoor equipment this is the place!

Tons of great gear, super helpful staff! I just wish the kids section was more user friendly. Its sorted by color, not by size, so you have to go through everything to find that one item that might fit your kid in their current size.

Review №32

Ive been following Wonderland Gear Exchange since even before the store existed when I met the owners when they were tabling at The Mountaineers for early advertising. They are super genuine and friendly folks who are committed to selling high quality gear sold for consigners. They are also passionate about helping buyers find the perfect items for their outdoor pursuits. Ive been buying and selling with them for a couple years now and have highly recommended the store to many many friends, who have also had great selling/buying experiences.So in short, before you buy an expensive new piece of gear, help save the planet and get an awesome item from Wonderland. Or before you put something up on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist, let Wonderland help you find a buyer much more easily and quickly.

I love shopping and consigning here! Its the perfect place to find high quality used gear and they make the consignment process easy with online tools to track your items and store credit. Ive been impressed with their management of COVID policies amidst a move from Crown Hill to Fremont, it feels clean and safe to shop here. Would definitely recommend, please support this local business!

Nate, Ben, and the whole crew at Wonderland are awesome. They’ve helped me find great, useful gear at the store more times than I can count. They employ experts who take the time to help you find the perfect item and really do a good job of consigning high quality gear. I would highly recommend this spot as your first stop when looking to make a foray into new gear.

Great place for gear (new and loved.) Very helpful and friendly staff! Sample days are my favorite (I see you - half off Smart Wool 🙂) My cousin Kay and her fiance Ben introduced me to this gem, and I am addicted. 95% of my clothes for hiking/camping/backpacking are from here! It is definitely worth the visit. Whether you are in the market for something new, well-loved, or prefer to consign your own gear - Wonderland has you covered. I would suggest following them on IG to see when new things come in.

Review №48

I love the service and selection at Wonderland. The owners and staff are amazing people and their idea of providing a place to buy and sell used outdoor gear is spot-on for life in the Northwest. We all support recycle and reuse and most outdoor equipment is designed to last nearly forever. The more we reuse, the more we reduce our wasteful impact on the planet.....and we get to save money doing it.

I just popped in to pick up a pair of starter climbing shoes for my 17 year old son for $20 yesterday. But its definitely not our first visit. Ive also scored gear for my wife and a pair of ski boots for my younger son who is rapidly moving through shoe sizes. On that visit, we got a lot more personal help with boot sizing than I would have expected from a used and consignment shop.

Fun, friendly staff, very approachable, personable owners there too!I found exactly what I went in looking for, the price seems fair for the age and condition of the items I bought. I’m hoping I won’t have to return anything because they only offer store credit and it’s void after 7 days, I feel like I could spend hours here browsing, looks like a sweet little nook for some potential cheap money scores!

Just went in today for the first time and dropped off two paddle boards for consignment. The overall process of getting the gear checked in and looked at and then signed up with their consignor process is very easy and fast. The shop is great, everything is nicely organized and prices overall seemed very reasonable. Looking forward to seeing how the consignment goes and will update with that experience.Update: One of my paddle boards sold within 2 weeks. The overall process has been streamlined and no issues. My online profile had updated with the total amount available to me. I swung by the store and chatted with the owner Ben, he explained how I could cash out. I am able to leave the amount in their system as store credit and can come back and purchase against it if I do that I get 10% more value of what I made or just cash out. So I left it there as we are always buying equipment and this is a great option to check out. Overall its been a great experience!

Review №69

Highly recommended establishment!! They have a broad range of second-hand and new outdoor recreational clothing and equipment. The used products they have are generally in great shape and exceptionally well priced. The store itself a clean and modern layout. As a consigner, they are an absolute pleasure to deal with and make it so easy to either get paid or store credit. Last year they unfortunately experienced a theft and even reimbursed me for the products I had on consignment. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly and will point you in the right direction. If I need a piece of outdoor recreation gear or clothing I will always check here first.

Great place for quality second hand outdoor gear. Nate and the crew are friendly and genuine. Will definitely be going back for more.If youre wanting to spend more time outdoors, it really helps to have well-made, quality gear that you can count on (trust me). Shops like this really cater to those of us who arent tech bajillionaires and actually live on a budget.Kudos to Wonderland for not only filling a need, but doing it well.

Review №73

Love these guys so much. Nate and Ben have worked so hard to get this off the ground and the store is amazing - beautiful ambiance, SICK mountain art on the walls and obviously lots of great gear. The prices are totally accessible and there are DEALS to be found among rack after rack of quality consigned gear. Need a new fancy flannel? They got it. Running tights? Boom. Full windsurfer rig? YOURE COVERED. They said it wasnt possible, but Ballard just got even cooler.EDIT: Theyre still here. And theyre still amazing. Such a good business, wonderful owners and staff, and great service for the community.

Review №77

I want this place to succeed so badly, the world needs more places like it, but their pricing is way too ambitious. I had consignment stuff they priced higher than I paid for it, and bargain hunting there other than during their blowout sales is futile. Super nice owners and staff, prices are just a little too close to retail.

Ch
Review №78

As a consignment shop, selection is spotty - but everything they do have is in great shape. Great place to go if you usually rent climbing shoes, ski gear, etc, and want to save some cash but dont want to splurge on brand new gear. Clothing selection is also good and it all looks new.

Review №79

Big fan of these guys and Wonderland Gear Exchange. Offering quality consignment outdoors equipment and apparel a second life is so appreciated by those of us getting into new sports on a budget. They’ve really done the legwork on creating an amazing space, and displaying their merchandise in a way that’s easy to shop and helps the sellers move their used gear and make money! Clear out your closet, and get over there as soon as you can to setup an account and turn your old stuff into the new stuff that you’ve been dreaming about!

Review №84

Great concept, I was really excited to hear about a new gear exchange. Convenient location and very friendly staff. Unfortunately slightly higher prices than I would have preferred ($45 mens shirt, $89 womens shoes). Also the consignment concept seems complicated. I would have rather have been offered like $10 store credit to use that day and call it good rather than wait around to see if my item sells or not (wasnt expecting a true consignment system and waiting for payout). Hopefully kinks like that can be worked out soon for the new store.

Was visiting from Colorado and stumbled upon this place the second day open. They already had a great selection of outerwear and gear to choose from. Prices are unreasonably low, $20 will land you a killer new flannel. If you don’t like really awesome surprises and supporting a couple cool dudes with a killer local business, don’t visit this store.
