With the Fritzy’s Buyback Program, you can bring your gently used roller skates into our Pacific Beach shop and, if they qualify, trade them in for Fritzy’s store credit to put toward whatever comes next.
It keeps good skates rolling, gives another skater a chance to love them, and gives you a little extra toward your next setup.
How it Works
1. Bring in your skates
Bring your skates to our Pacific Beach shop during regular store hours. Buybacks are currently available in-store only.
2. We’ll check them out
Our team will do a quick inspection to make sure your skates meet our eligibility requirements.
3. Get your offer
If your skates qualify we will give you an in-store credit offer right then. No waiting!
Offers are based on the current retail value, overall condition of the skates, and re-sell demand. Your offer is valid for 7 days.
Which Skates Qualify?
We’re looking for like-new to lightly used quad or inline roller skates that are ready to roll some more.
Skates may qualify if they:
- Are a brand currently carried by Fritzy’s
- Are a matching pair
- Have boots that are structurally sound
- Have only minor cosmetic scuffs or signs of use
- Are clean and free from strong odors, mildew, or mold
- Have plates and hardware in good working condition
- Adult or youth sizes
- Indoor or outdoor setups
Missing or worn wheels, toe stops or laces don’t necessarily disqualify your skates. We’ll take the cost of any needed replacements into consideration when determining your offer.
What We Can’t Accept
Some skates have simply had a really good run and are ready to retire.
We’re unable to accept skates with cracked or split boots, structural damage, broken or bent plates, severe wear, significant sole separation, water damage, heavily corroded or seized bearings, strong odors, mold or mildew.
We also do not accept ice skates or brands that Fritzy’s does not currently carry.
Not sure if yours qualify? Bring them by and our team can take a look.
Buyback Program Fine Print
Buyback availability is subject to Fritzy’s current inventory needs and may be paused or limited at any time. Acceptance is not guaranteed. All skates must be inspected and approved by Fritzy’s before an offer is made. Final offer values are determined by Fritzy’s based on current retail value, condition, replacement parts needed, resale viability and other relevant factors. Offers are provided as Fritzy’s store credit only. Offers are valid for 7 days.
We gladly take donations of gently used gear or roller derby skates to support local derby programs.
