Hey guys,

 

Need some help here. Ive been in contact with a few pro/semi pro teams to buy gear. But when it comes down to purchase price I have no idea how much to offer for items.

 

What do you guys think? If im buying 10+ of each item what should i be paying for new/used stuff?

 

Sticks and Gloves for instance what do you guys think is a reasonable offer when buying in bulk?

 

Anyone with insight your info is appreciated.

 

thanks guys!

That's a loaded question without a clear answer. The simple answer: It varies depending on model, brand, condition and team.

 

For example, gloves... a pair of Bauer APX2 gloves, most can be re-sold anywhere from $80 (well-used) to $170 (new). BUT,  it depends on what team (new condition): Capitals ($150-$180) or Ducks ($90-$120), and it also depends on who used them: Ovechkin (between $800-$1200) or average player (between $120-$150).

 

The two biggest factors will be condition and what team. Hardly anyone wants gloves with holes/rips and very few people buy all-black or all-red gloves.

 

Again, this is just for ONE model of a particular brand. Multiply that by every model (and color) offered by every brand times every player/team.

 

In short: If you're buying for yourself or teammates, then ask us for reasonable bulk prices on specific items (or watch Ebay, which is a good indicator of what sells and for how much). If you're buying for resale, don't. Market is already over-saturated and margins will be relatively small.

When you say you've been in contact with a. Few pro/ semi pro teams most teams in that category are on league deals and given smu or lesser quality gear and sticks due to their league deal. It's okay stuff to use for your self or local friends maybe but there's not a chance you're going to turn profit and make it worth your time.
