I thought you didn't want to become a mod. Something about being a part of the establishment and you not being able to be a badassmamabajama

Climbing shops have *new* gear that they're willing to part with for a price, and you don't even have to beg!
Yes, I know, I am SOOOOO MEEEEEEEEAN :cry:

I don't know about you but I don't climb on someone elses old rack. Just a bad state of mind it puts me in.

Depending on the type of gear, I wouldn't have much issue using older protection. The only things that would prevent me from using old/bootied nuts or hexes would be bad cables or a really rough profile. Even that can be fixed with a bit of filing. With cams, I'd want to give them an inspection to make sure they functioned smoothly and were evenly worn. I'd also replace the slings. I wouldn't buy second-hand softworks, but they weren't on his list.
I'm not sure if the OP is looking for free gear or deals. I'm sure he wouldn't turn down donations, but he never stated he wouldn't pay for the gear he's interested in.

Temporal self-importance on my side. Just ignore ;)

DEFFINENTLY NOT looking for free gear, i am just looking to buy some good used gear, plenty of life left just not worn out. i deffinently do not want used soft goods, but if anyone has wiregate biners, forged freinds, cams of all sizes that they would like to sell that would be awesome (sets are good), i have hexes and tricams but i need lots of nuts, i dont need fancy collored nuts i just need good old fashioned big and small all sizes of nuts, in sets prefereably.

Not my auction. I don't know anything about it other than what's posted.

In reply to: In reply to: In reply to: I don't know about you but I don't climb on someone elses old rack. Just a bad state of mind it puts me in. Yep..... :shock: Not to get off subject here...but do you take your own rack every time you climb with someone else? I often share racks with my partenrs, and some of their gear is pretty old. I don't really see that as being much different than climbing "on someone elses old rack".
That's the first thing I thought of when I first read this thread. It's common to have a quick conversation before a trip equating to, "Your rope, my rack?" While buying gear from strangers is a bit different, I have faith in the materials. Softworks can't be properly inspected for all forms of damage, but nuts/hexes and reslung cams can.

Does any of this sound good? Let me know...
BD Stoppers #4-10, older non-anodized style, all well used but free of kinks, broken strands and other functional problems. $28 for the set.
Trango #5 camming unit, older U frame style $15.
BD Camalot red #1, also U frame, $15.
WC wired Rocks #2, 3, 6, 7 and 9 in used but good shape. Also Cassin wired nuts #1 and 2 which are identical to the wired Rock #4 and 5. So basically it's Rocks 2-9 but without the 8. $20 for the set.
Miscellaneous tiny BD nuts, like size 1 and 2. Also odd and ends of other brands (DMM, HB) $2 each
And I have BD hexes if you need more. Mostly small-med sizes. $5 each.
