The Process

HOW TO
CONSIGN

1
Step 01
Call Ahead

Give us a quick call at 530-584-2236 to confirm we're currently accepting the type of gear you have. Inventory needs change by season — we want to make sure your drop-off is worth the trip.

Step 02
Drop It Off

Bring your clean, functional gear to the shop at 475 N Lake Blvd, Unit 105. Our team will review each item on the spot. To save time, you can fill out the consignment agreement ahead of your visit.

Step 03
We Price & List It

Your gear goes on the floor for 60 days. We handle all pricing, photos, and merchandising — no effort on your end. You'll get notifications through the Ricochet app whenever an item sells, so you can enjoy your life while we do the work.

4
Step 04
Get Paid

When your item sells, earnings land in your Ricochet account. You keep 40–80% depending on sale price — the more it sells for, the higher your cut. Request a payout anytime through the form on this page.
