Every time I walk into the other room I find this guy staring at me from a shelf by the window.
He's only one of many whimsical or cute or rustic decorations we currently have for sale, but crazy-eyed Garfield always makes me smile.
One of the really awesome things about running a consignment store is that you never really know what's going to walk in the door.
When we first opened OAR I expected the regular outdoor stuff - tents, packs, boots, jackets.
Some very cool and unexpected things have come in recently:
1. A CC Filston Company jacket.
Now, until a super nice guy walked in with this baby I had never heard of CC Filston, so had to do some research to figure out what we had. What we have is a very rugged, very high end, and beautifully made coat.
2. A few days after OAR opened its doors another super nice guy walked in and asked me if we were interested in a drift wood table. He apparently makes them and sells them all over the western portion of the United States.
Caught off guard we thought.......uh..........sure, why not?
We had not anticipated taking in drift wood tables but have one room set aside for rustic and rugged decorative "stuff" - pictures, copper candle holders, outdoor books, wood and metal figurines, outdoorsy picture frames, that sort of thing.
Well the driftwood and antler table made it's way through the front door yesterday, it is beautiful and the picture does not do it justice.
We're glad we said "sure, why not"?
Awesome snow shoes that would look great in a cabin or rustic home, or beside a fire place................
We still have this Eberlestock Tactical pack for sale.
More information on this awesome and rugged piece of equipment here:
We've got climbing gear that includes shoes, gloves, harnesses, a helmet, webbing and hardware.
We are not accepting climbing hardware on consignment (this includes everything from Figure 8's to ascenders to carbiners to climbing axes), so once these are gone, they're gone and we will not have any more unless brand new and still with tags.
OAR is definitely accepting other climbing gear on consignment though, such as more shoes, more gloves, more helmets and harnesses, chalk bags, etc.
Someone came into the store the other day looking for a left handed compound or cross bow.
If you have one and want to consign it (and hopefully sell it) please contact us at OAR.
We may already have a buyer!
LOOKING FOR! LOOKING FOR! LOOKING FOR!
Outdoor Adventures Revived is looking to include more outdoor gear options into its' inventory.
Since OAR is the only outdoor gear and consignment store in the area, we are actively working to make it THE place to go for high quality, gently used equipment.
We could use more day packs / headlamps (include batteries) / hiking boots / road and trail running shoes (with not too many miles on them) / archery equipment.
We also welcome more clothing - everything from wool and Smart Wool socks to winter gloves to buffs and neck gaiters to fleece tops and winter jackets.
Those are only ideas to get you started but we will accept all kinds of cool outdoor stuff (trekking poles? back country stoves? map cases? firearm holsters? cold weather sleeping bags?)
Facebook here we come!
Working on an OAR Facebook page over the next few days.
We'll post here when it's up and running.
