Amazing service, I got a used heavy bag there for a steal. Hayden, one of their employees, was particularly helpful and disassembled the whole thing for me so I could fit it in the car, very pleasant the whole time and I would go back again. Shoutout to Hayden. read more

I absolutely have to share a very positive review about this location in Charlottesville. We are from out of town and familiar with Play It Again Sports in our area. My son arrived on campus as a first year just one week ago and was planning to try out for the club Tennis team. He met on Friday with a couple of new first years to play doubles, and his racket frame broke. He was disappointed! I contacted this location and the amazing staff and wonderful owner, Troy, offered to deliver a racket to him since we are not local and he does not have a car. I sent an email on Friday night and had a response from Troy within an hour. By Saturday morning at 1, the racket was in my son's hand And he is now prepared for tomorrow. Troy, thank you!!! You went well above and beyond to help us with this situation and your efforts are so appreciated!! It's been a big transition week for him, so this was a step in the right direction of trying to get involved and now you have helped him be able to participate tomorrow with his own racket. THANK YOU!! read more

Winter sports buyers be warned! I am so frustrated with this store I am writing my first yelp review to warn other buyers. As I get into snowboarding, I unfortunately used this store to get new and used gear. Although friendly, I was badly sized with a pair of too large 10.5 boots, resulting in bad snowboarding form I am still trying to undo. This year, I made the mistake of returning, getting a pair of bindings and getting sized with size 9 boots. These boots were painful to use, giving me blisters, and were also defective. Too bad freestyle closed, I would recommend Public Lands to anyone in the market for local winter sports gear. read more

I've found great softball, tennis, and golf equipment here, and the staff has always been cheerful and efficient. I enjoy coming here because it's nice to be able to see sporting goods and equipment in person before purchasing it, and their prices are very competitive--roughly 10% less than what you would spend online for a similar product. They've exceeded my expectations for the 2+ years I've been shopping here. read more

I never write reviews but this location needed this as my experience was not good. I was able to obtain great quality equipment for a great price for sport gear in the pandemic market. However, post transaction I discovered someone here either stole my credit card information or passed it on. I bought two things here. One online and one in person. The one online seems to be the information that was stolen. For anyone thinking of shopping here just be careful an pay with cash. read more

Okay selection, but staff leaves a lot to be desired. I've been a few times and each time their customer services consisted of standing behind the counter and yelling "do you need help?" when I'm already across the store. The one time I tried to sell something, the employee was rude -- when I mentioned the specifics of my item (so he could price it appropriately), he snapped "yeah, I know." I'll continue to shop here because there are some good deals, but I don't expect much from the employees. read more

Well to start off I believe the staff here were fairly friendly and respectable. As for the stock, they had a vast amount of sporting good items. I went into this place to look at the baseball and golf stuff they had. The baseball section was pretty weak, with the cleats too high up to look at individually. The golf section seemed pack but every club there was top market clubs used and new, so for a new golfer this place would not be the place to go. I tried selling stuff back, but this was the first play it again sports that only took a couple items as opposed to the other ones that bought every single item I had. read more

Pretty great place to buy a second hand sport gear. Looking for used bicycle. Didn't find any, but recommend it, if you want to buy sport gear, decent condition good price. read more

Called to ask about repair to home fitness equipment and did receive call back as promised. Mike was well-informed about equipment and provided me with very helpful information to make a decision about repair vs replace even though it did not involve a sale for him. Really appreciate the expert advice and customer service! read more

Have purchased here and that's been decent. Not great selection or product knowledge but nice people. Spring cleaning brought me in to sell things yesterday. Don't bother. Going rate of what they offer is 2% of what they intend to sell it for. Just figure out a fair price and give it to a charity and you'll get 20-33% depending on your tax bracket and you'll be helping someone without the franchisee middleman. read more

I was really excited to go here, because after living in PA, I knew this store there, and have not seen it anywhere else. The original owner also had a second business called Re-Tool in which you could go and get refurbished tools. I went in hoping to find out, like I do so often, that there was a ReTool somewhere nearby in Charlottesville, as it seems to have one of everything somewhere, hiding in some suburb. In this case, I'm satisfied to have The Habitat Store, but I did not know that at the time. So, with verve and effusiveness I walked in, and asked if I could talk to the owner. Smile. Blink. The response from the counter girl was "what is wrong, sir?" so i explained that I was here looking to find out about a related business. She upgraded me to the manager on duty, who responded that they only sell sports stuff here, and that he had never heard of anything like ReTool. I asked if anyone else might be able to help me, and he sighed a bit, and said I don't think you are going to find what you are looking for here. He was happy to get back to facing shelves, and I was happy to know I never had to go in again for any reason. I'd rather go to Dick's and spend full price for a little tiny bit of service than to get overpriced used goods with an attitude. read more
