Shop Comeback Gear here!
When I was in high school, I toured over 20 colleges/universities. Being the extra person that I am, I bought a branded item (typically a shirt or sweater) at practically every single school. Over my the course of my Junior and Senior years of high school, I began to get overwhelmed and even annoyed at all of the old branded college clothing that I had. Especially given that these branded college items were from schools that I ultimately decided not to attend and had no connections to beyond touring it, I became extremely annoyed with the lack of places to sell these items (most notably, Poshmark, eBay, Mercari, etc.). Luckily, there is a place where you can sell your old branded gear, whether it be college, high school, camp, or greek life. Do you have any old branded gear, from places such as camp, high school, college, or even greek life?! Well, look no further than Comeback Gear – the place that is essentially the Poshmark/eBay for your old gear!
Flash forward to Spring 2020 when we were all living in lockdown and in quarantine 24/7. Like many of us, Comeback Gear is a women-owned small business that started when people were going through their own closets and cleaning out the things that they did not need anymore, including children’s old camp gear. Like college and high school gear, camp gear struggles to sell on sites such as eBay and Poshmark. It is important to note that branded gear can be gear of all kinds sold on Comeback Gear – masks, shirts, sweatshirts, sweatpants, mugs, etc. Essentially, anything can be sold as long as the college/camp/team’s name is somewhere on the item. All items sold are also either brand new or gently used. So, Comeback Gear targets anyone who wants to represent a camp, college, or sports team as well as high school.
How to Buy/Sell on Comeback Gear!
If you want to either buy or sell, then you will need to sign up on the website with an email and a password. Upon confirming your email, you will be able to start listing your items and/or shop for items that you may want to buy. HOORAY!!!!
Similar to sites like Poshmark, Comeback Gear users can also promote their profile on the site on their social media pages, so that others can check out their old branded gear for their own closets! Users also have total control over the items that they sell, along with setting the price and cost of shipping.
Can Small Businesses Sell Too??
YES! Small businesses are in a great place to sell their goods to those at a particular college, camp, high school, or fraternity/sorority. Comeback Gear is an excellent place for a small business to sell old inventory that they want to sell, in order to make room for new items to be sold at a discount. Small businesses are also able to promote their business on their profile page, so that potential customers can get in touch with them. Additionally, small businesses can also use their social media pages to promote their goods being sold on Comeback Gear and bring their customers to the site.
What if my Camp/College/High School/Fraternity/Sorority/Sports Team isn’t featured on the Comeback Gear site?
If you cannot seem to find the name of the camp or college or any of the above listed in the previous question, then do not fret! Simply click the “Contact Us” button in the menu and send a message requesting that that place’s name get added to the menu – as easy as pie!
With sites like eBay, Poshmark, and Mercari in full swing, it is oh so exciting that there is finally a similar version just for college/camp/high school/Greek life items in the form of Comeback Gear! If you know me, you know that I love shopping, especially secondhand and at a great price. Most definitely check out Comeback Gear for yourself – you truly will not be disappointed!
