Eagle Creek has started a resale program for Eagle Creek products.
You can list products for sale on their site. When it's sold, you get an email with a pre-paid shipping label. (The buyer pays for shipping.)
You are then offered either 110% of the sales price in store credit or 80% of the sale price in cash.
As of now, it's only available in the US.
God bless you, Frank II, for sharing this!!! I am moving to the UK soon and have had my eye on the wheeled duffels (because high volume for low weight!), but even the sale prices are sky high. I’ve bookmarked the site and will get my shop on. Thank you!

Frank, it looks like they've upped it to 120% in-store credit at this time (good through 4/19).
So I didn't have time to shop the site this morning because I was heading out to run some errands, including stopping at my favorite thrift shop. I was just about the check out when I saw a brand-new Eagle Creek 105L No Matter What Rolling Duffel Bag. $35. This has to be one of those "coincidences" like when your phone overhears you talking about something and then you get ads for it all over your social media. Only good. From your fingers to God's inbox, Frank. Thanks again!
I looked at the website this morning before full caffeination.
There are two options? Either ship from Eagle Creek or ship from Seller.
If from Eagle Creek, does that mean they examine and clean, maybe even repair minor damage to the bag before shipping to the Buyer? Or do they at least clean and verify the statement of condition, like "with tags", almost new". "lightly used", or whatever their descriptions are?
Otherwise I'm not sure how this is different from going to GoodWill or buying on EBay or Craigslist or some other platform.
Looks like Eagle Creek is taking on Patagonia. The Patagonia program, I believe, takes returned and used Patagonia brand items. Refurbishes them. Then, resells them.
The EC program looks like a middle-man resell program. Directly from seller to buyer with EC brokering the deal at a profit.
Both will claim an environmentally responsible feature for marketing.
