Equipment can be dropped off anytime Thursday May 3rd or Friday May 4th from 9:00am to 6:00pm at Sunshine Sports. Sunshine Sports is located at 304 Moore Lane. Please call the store at 252-3724 if you have any questions. Gear may also be dropped off from 8:00am to 11:00 Saturday May 1st, the day of the Swap. Because the early bird always gets the worm, or the best buy on that boat or bike, a large percentage of the sales go through the sales counter before 1:00pm. Having your gear on display by the time the swap starts at 10:00am is important. The gear check in line can be quite long the morning of the swap, so we highly recommend checking in your gear on Thursday or Friday.
Getting Paid For Sold Gear
Sunshine Sports acts only as a middle man in the Swap. All money is paid directly to the sellers and must be picked up between 4pm and 5pm the day of the swap. The seller has the right to accept the following forms of payment (Cash, Checks & Credit Cards) Checks are made out directly to the seller. All buyers are required to present an ID for checks and credit cards. Credit cards, which can be a safer form of payment than checks, have to be processed by Sunshine Sports. A 6% processing fee is charged and we mail out a check within 7 days to the seller.
Gear Pick Up
All unsold gear and money must be picked up on the day of the Swap between 4:00pm and 5:00pm. Any unsold gear not picked the day of the Boat Swap will be subject to a $10 per day storage fee. Gear that is not picked up within 5 days will be donated to local Explorer Post #7. At the time you check your gear in, you have the option to donate any unsold gear to the Explorer Post.
Gear Handling Fees
Sunshine Sports does not charge commission or fee on equipment that does sell as most other swaps. We charge only a small per item handling fee which is paid when gear is checked in.

Boat n Bike Swap Disclaimer
Sunshine Sports takes many precautions to make the swap a secure environment for buyers and sellers. We have had only a few minor incidents in 13+ years of hosting the swap. To check gear into the swap the seller is required to sign a contract stating that you will not hold Sunshine Sports and any other affiliated organizations responsible for any loss, damages, and theft of gear.
