Outdoor gear cluttering up your wardrobe or shed? Give it the opportunity to have new adventures by trading it in for Booley Bullions!
What is Requipped?
Booley’s motto is do right by. In an attempt to do right by the social and natural environment, Booley is now offering second hand quality outdoor gear.
Trade in preloved outdoor gear which has plenty of adventure left in it, and get Booley Bullions in return.
Second hand gear offers you a more sustainable and affordable way to purchase the same high quality gear that we stock in Booley.
Why should I trade in my gear?
Whilst fast fashion might spring to mind as the culprit for the heavy burden the textile industry puts on the environment, the outdoor gear industry is not exempt.
But why bring your outdoor gear to us?
Help the environment
Throwing out your outdoor gear means it will end up in landfill which will have a negative impact on the environment. Bringing your gear to us means that we can sell it on to someone else who can take it on new adventures.
Help the community
We want to use the profits from the requipped scheme to help fund community projects and donate to outdoor rescue charities. Not only will you receive Booley Bullions to use towards your next purchase with us, you can feel good knowing that you're helping out the community.
But why not just sell it myself?
Selling your gear involves finding an app/website to sell it on, taking photos, listing it, writing a description, waiting for someone to buy it, packaging it up, buying postage, taking it to be posted. Effort, right?
If you bring your used gear to us, you just need to drop it off, and you can use the trade-in value to buy brand new or second hand gear from us.
Why not drop it off at a charity shop?
Charity shops are great! but they also sell everything and anything, so your outdoor gear might sit around waiting for someone to find it. Giving your outdoor gear to us to resell means that it's being sold to its target audience, so it can be snapped up and taken on its next adventure.
How does Requipped work?
Once you have had a rummage and found outdoor gear that can go on more adventures, you can either post your it to us, or drop it off at our store on Eglinton Street, Galway (H91 YK63).
We will then assess the item(s), decide on its resell value, and issue your Booley Bullions. This can take up to two working days.
As soon as we have decided on the value, the Booley Bullions will show up on your Booley Bonus account.
We will need your name and email address to add your bullions to your account.
The Booley Bullions can be redeemed online or in-store, and can be used to purchase new or second hand gear.
Alternatively, you can choose to swap your item for an item of similar value from the Requipped collection.
What can I trade in?
You can trade in items if they are brands that we stock at Booley, or brands of comparable quality.
All items must be clean, in good working order, and in a saleable condition.
See T&Cs for more information.
