SidelineSwap

SidelineSwap is the world's largest online marketplace dedicated to buying and selling new and used sporting goods. Founded in 2015 by former college athletes, the platform aims to make sports more affordable and accessible by connecting athletes, fans, and sports families through a peer-to-peer marketplace.

The platform offers a wide range of sports equipment across various categories, including baseball, basketball, football, hockey, golf, lacrosse, skiing, snowboarding, and tennis. Users can list their gear for free and buyers can browse inventory to find great deals, often at up to 70% off retail prices.

Sellers receive payment through SidelineSwap's secure platform once the buyer receives and approves the item.

Trade-in Platform

In addition to its core marketplace, SidelineSwap has developed a Trade-in Platform, which provides pop-up events, in-store, and online trade-in options for brands and retailers.

This platform leverages SidelineSwap's proprietary marketplace technology and resale data, enabling sellers to choose between direct resale or instant trade-in value.

The Trade-in Platform has been adopted by major retailers like DICK'S Sporting Goods and MonkeySports, allowing their customers to trade in used gear for store credits.
