Play It Again Sports

I love this store! My boyfriend and I go here at least twice a month to pick up gear for skiing, soccer, tennis and for working out. We love the service and are always pleasantly surprised with the treasures we find at amazing prices. I send my friends here all the time and they have equally amazing experiences. The guys in the store are always helpful, friendly, and I’m always greeted when I walk in the door. Lastly, it’s in a super convenient place right next to great food and there is always easy access parking!

We spent a significant amount of money here and waited for 27 minutes for the cashier to find a price on a pair of inline skates. There were several of the same model on the shelf but he waved me off (rude hand gesture — no words) when I offered to show him that all the other identical skates were all the same price. After the first 15 minutes of waiting by the register, I allowed my kids (all raised in the south with «Yes Sir» manners) to sit on stationary bikes. At the 27 minute mark, the cashier yelled at my kids that they couldn’t sit there. I was right there and would have corrected my kids without his scary yell had he hinted that the first ten minutes they sat there was forbidden. I opted not buy the mystery skates. The cashier didn’t apologize for his inability to find a price, the dismissive way he treated me or yelling at my kids. We were friends with the family who owns the franchise in NC. So, we planned to continue working with Play it Again Sports. Now, we are taking our money for our four-​season-​sports kids elsewhere. This was my family’s first negative encounter in Boulder. Its a shame this franchisee is soiling the company’s name.

We had a great experience today. My 8 year old son bought a red gym ball last week with his own money and a day later it had a hole in it. When I examined it there seemed to be a small tear in the ball’s seam. I tried to fix it with a bicycle patch — Didn’t work. Another hole appeared and my son got really upset. We took it back to Play It Again sports for an exchange and explained our story — and that we didn’t have a receipt. The guy at the Register said, «no» but almost immediately the manager grabbed another ball and gave it to my son. That was good demonstration of great service. Nice job!

Terrible customer service. Mostly young college students who don’t care about their job. Helping customers seems like a chore and when asked questions, the staff acts irritated and annoyed. I have been to many Play it Again Sports and never experienced this kind of service.

Inept workers who have no idea what items are worth. Walked in once to hear employees discussing what their boss would do if they just left. Very unprofessional and their employees knowledge of equipment is very poor. The front desk is always clustered even though they have three men working there who seem to have no idea what’s going on. Anything you try to trade in here u will most likely get ripped off. Bottom line employees are crappy leading to crappy business

I primarily go to play it again for disc golf discs. I have been to many locations in Oregon and Colorado. The one in Boulder is baffling. Baffling in the sense that they have by far the most disorganized disc display I have seen. If you want to find a specific disc prepare to search every rack as the disc are barely arranged by manufacturer. I even offered to organize them for them last year for a discount. It was the bad. Also the prices for discs are higher than other locations. And the used section is usually non-​existent. I make the drive to Longmont for their disc selection as it is organized and has a huge selection of used discs.

Although I wasn’t greeted by any employees and it did take a while to acquire their help, once I was helped, their customer service was awesome.
I’m just starting to get into skiing and the employees who helped me were very knowledgeable and understanding.
Thanks for the help! Highly recommend for decently priced new and used sporting goods.

I’m a huge fan of this business!
This is the best way to buy and sell used athletic equipment at a very affordable price. I recomend Play It Again to all of my friends who are looking to try out a new sport or just want to get rid of their used hockey pads.
Also a very friendly, young and motivated staff

Good prices for old and new stuff.

I have sold a fair amount of used gear here, especially as my kids were growing up and moving around as young adults and I have bought a few things for myself. The prices seem fair enough, you just can’t sell used stuff for a lot of money. That’s the nature of the market. But these people make it easy. Some things they have bought outright but most items I put on consignment. The seller gets a little more that way. The place is sort of messy and you might need to pick through things but I think that’s fairly standard in used shops. They do carry a small selection of new, budget priced gear to fill in some gaps, like stationary bikes and ellipticals. Not much in used bicycles, usually beaters, but tons of used ski gear.

This is the typical retail rip-​off fest. bring in $ 100 ski stuff, they try to give you $ 4 and they are certainly not very professional. store is a mess and it’s a typical retail attitude. all they seem to care is ripping off hard-​working americans. great. this is one store i will never sell nor buy anything from, and i hope you don’t either. this is why craigslist is so popular.

Bought our son’s lacrosse gear there. Great customer service, didn’t have any used, but very reasonably priced on new. They even called the Longmont store to see if they had any used available. Really felt they had expertise, adjusted my son’s helmet and gave me a great tutorial. Would definitely recommend.

Maybe it’s because it was a Sunday and basketball was on, but the 3 kids working the store didn’t even realize we were there. We came in looking for golf clubs and used weights, not only were they lacking any equipment that was used, the new stuff was low quality too. The Play it again in Longmont was much different last time I was there, too bad it’s about a 45 minute drive away.

I went to Play It Again Sports to get my ice skates sharpened after reading ‘at your own risk’ on CU’s ice rink page. My skates are precious and expensive and I wasn’t about to trust someone at CU to do them at my risk.
I went into Play It Again and the staff was awesome. The guy who sharpened my skates was careful and thorough. I could tell he knew what he was doing. The price was totally fair and they have a skate sharpening program where your tenth sharpening is free. Oh, and they directed me to a yummy sandwich shop, Micky C’s while I was there too.
Great staff! I’ll definitely be back!

Need a used jockstrap? How about fungus infected used soccer or wrestling shoes? Or buy a used hockey mouth guard from an original Canadian hockey player himself… So many options!
Play It Again Sport’s as some of you know and don’t know, buys used athletic gear and resells it… They will pay you to bring in your old gear. No need to mess with Craigslist or the experts on Ebay… Just drop it off, and if they like what you got, they will take it and pay you for it. Simple as that. Except, I was kidding about the jockstrap thing… Not that yours is that gross or anything, but I doubt they are not going to take a used one… Something about sanitation I’m guessing, but it doesnt hurt to ask!
Play it Again sports has so much hockey gear that you begin to wonder if you should be playing hockey, or if nobody plays hockey. Either way, you can come here for some screaming deals on equipment and duds. My friend bought her treadmill here and she loves it… Being that she bought it used she was able to get it at a price that she could actually afford.
* Star one is for making something old new again
** oomph star two is for promoting athleticism
*** You go girl star three is for still being around even when the big boy giant stores move in right next to you
**** Not to bad star four is for a pretty snazzy name and tag-​line, as cheesy as it is, it works.
