Is it safe to buy climbing gear off Ebay?
I have seen a lot of good deals but I'm not to sure about buying used gear.
What do all of you have to say about it?

Depends on what the item is, dude. I wouldn't buy PRO or a harness off there. I would only buy shoes there, or somthing that is not directly saving your life.

Dude, I just posted the same question last night in the GEAR HEADS FORUM, where it belongs.
There are already 5 responses.
The squggly lines on the topic line make a nice effect.

No worries Monkey, it can possibly chalked up to "great minds think alike".
If your near a climbing shop, they may have a bulliton board with used gear. At least you could fondle it first.

I've bought shoes, and a gri-gri off Ebay. So far, I have gotten some really great deals, and nothing bad has happened yet at least.
