Im an international student who came in Minessota to study for 9 months. When i came here, i was told that you can do many fun things here during winter - one of which is skiing and snowboarding. So, i decided to buy an used snowboard from this store, because i knew that i cant bring it back to my home country. When i came to the store, the guy who worked there told me that i can buy a used snowboard, and then, in the end of the season i can sell it back for 50-60% of its price. And that words made me really happy, because i knew that it will be a lot more expensive if i will rent snowboard. So, without much thinking, i bought it for 150$, with the bag for it. Not so much time ago, after the season finished, i went to the store, to sell it back. When i came inside the same store, there was another guy, who asked me what i want to sell - and i answered that i want to sell my snowboard. When he heard this, he told me that he is not interested in buying the snowboard, and when i told him that the previous guy told me that i can easily sell it back for lower price after the season finishes, he answered me that "I dont know who told you this, but its not true." THAT store dissapointed me really much - now i have problem with my snowboard because i cant sell it, so i just wasted money on something that i cant use anymore. DONT TRUST THEM!

I told my daughter I wanted snow shoes for Christmas. She went to the St. Paul store and asked the young man for help picking out shoe shoes. Not only was he not informative but just plain rude. I went to the store because she purchased a gift certificate and these are not inter changeable because each store is independently owned. Not only was the young man unhelpful but rude to me. The store in Eagan not only had better looking snow shoes but a cheaper brand. They are helpful at the Eagan store and much more pleasant to everyone. The St Paul store needs to be redecorated.

I grew up near PIAS on Snelling, and it has always been the go-to place for any sport, any season. Especially if you want to avoid the hassle of going to a nasty megastore in the burbs. Its a great place for adults and kids alike. The new owners have it in better shape than Ive ever seen it before (really cleaned it up!!!), with tons of different items, and a friendly group of people who are ready to help you choose the right glove, bat, stick, skates, etc. A great local sports store!

I went into Play It Again to purchase a used pair of ice skates. The owner was working at the time and I cannot tell you how pleased I was with his service. I had a lot of questions to ask before I knew what I wanted to purchase and he was very informative and patient with me. I would highly recommend this store to others. Fair pricing, great service, and free skate sharpening with purchase! Very Minnesota Nice, if you ask me!

Both Alex and Max have always been very friendly, welcoming and helpful each time Ive stopped by! When I needed items for cross country skiing, they only sold me what was necessary and didnt try to "upsell" me on something I really didnt need like I feel most bigger athletic stores always try to do. Very knowledgable guys and eager to listen to your needs and do their best to meet them!

Max was excellent, knew exactly how to engage the conversation and provide excellent knowledge helping me with a trade in for new hockey equipment. Also helped me figure out a new helmet fitting issue instead of just saying" sorry man its to big" he took the time to figure out and it fits now lol 250 dollar hockey helmet problem fixed.

Stopped by to purchase some used ice skates. Great selection of mostly entry level ice skates. The laces on the pair I purchases were in bad shape so they gave me a free pair and sharpened them for free. For $20 for what appear to be almost new skates, great deal.
