Excess Gear

“Anyone know of a good place to sell off excess gear over the Internet? eBay will ding me a few bones per listed item.

There's just waaay too much stuff here. Need to make room for more, LOL.

Sick, I know.”

“SnowDude and I were talking about that this weekend. We just got new packs early this year, and we're talking about new packs for next year! Yes, we're sick...”

“Two options,

1. eBay is great! Even with what they take off I have made much more money than expected on old gear. You wouldn't believe what people are willing to pay providing you present the item for auction with a nice pic.

2. Donate the old gear to the BSA or a charity.”

“Just start a thread here to advertise what you have. Take pictures and give discriptions of what you have. The old thebackpacker.com site used to have a classified section. Don't know if it ever got any attention though.
I suggest ya just start a thread.”

“Many backpacking sites have buy/sell/trade options.

**That being said**

You have my attention. Whatcha got, what condition's it in, and how much ya want for it?”

“I would be willing to bet that anything you wanted sold, could be sold easier with all the folks who come here to visit..”

“And I do wish I was awake



easier was supposed to be easily.”

“Yep, start a thread. I bet I'd buy at least half of it... :)”

“For sale
One sense of humour, slightly warped.”

“LOL Bunyip, this market is already saturated!”

“I need a sleeping bag! Whatcha got?”

“bpbaby has been selling some of her extra gear right here...I think you could do the same.

I bought a pack from her :)
So...whatcha got???”

“I could use a smile,..I seemed to have misplaced mine!LOL”

“I sold my soul on here..

Seriously.. I think most of us wuld enjoy being able to purchase equipment from each other.”

“Sell it here. I personally avoid buying stuff "sight unseen" but I wouldn't hesitate purchasing from a TTer I knew. I got screwed on an eBay purchase. The guy sent the stuff but most of it was CRAP! The Optimus stove was good but evrything else was given to goodwill.Whatcha got?”

“I could be persuaded to buy lots of stuff....post the info!”

“Matt needs to start a Gear Swap Section.”

“He had a classified section and no one used it! Post it here and buyers will come.”

“Yowsers. Okay here it is.

“Snow Nymph might have something to add too.”

“I've sold a lot of my excess gear to tt folks, as a matter of a fact, that's how I ended up on this board. Everyone I have dealt with has been straight up and it has been a good experience. Don't hesitate to deal with these good folks!

All I have left now are a couple of 40 degree sleeping bags. If anyone is interested, let me know!”

“Sent ya an E tekapo, le's make a deal. Luvin' that 0* bag I got from ya bpbaby!! Sweetypie AmyG turned me on!, er, I mean turned me onto that deal, hehe.”

“Post'at good stuff SnowNymph!”

“naked ape- The GPS and bags appear to be spoken for.

Haven't seen your E either. Must be gremlins.”

“If anyone has used strap-on crampons or an ice axe (60 or 65 cm) for sale, let me know.

wingding0@hotmail.com”

“My e spoke up for your crampons and your bear cannister! PLZ tell me you've gotten my E!”

“Gotta sort things out here. Will post when I figure it out what I have.

Nekid, might have stuff for the little one.”

“Suuweeeet Snow, I'm interested, shoot me an e when you're ready! Can you believe that "they" make polypro liners and trekking socks for preschoolers?!! I found Emelyn some at REI a cupla weeks ago.

I'll e ya again tek.”

“Tek ya got my E pertainin' to your cramps and cannister eh?

I wan'em!”

“Nekkid- got your email and sent another one your way with more info.

Forgot to mention the canister has bright reflective tape around it. It's there to make it easier to find the canister after the bear has its way with it. Except the for the slobber residue, it's in great shape! LOL”

“wingding - Here's two axes to think about. They're light.

1.) Grivel Mont Blanc Air
Tech Racing.

2.)Titan Mountain Sports
A mere $270 (ack!).

The Grivel has a nice feel. I've got a BD ArcLight (65cm) and it's just too heavy.”

“Tek my e's to ya have been coming back to me, whut gives?? I have your home addy and .... a personal check for $40??? Zat OK, whut gives dude, I cain't e ya bro!”

“Oh yeah Snow, lemme know when you have thangs arranged for a yardsale! My interst is piqued, knowwhutImean? hehe”

“Have to go thru it. Not lightweight stuff, tho. Got a big garage, so things are thrown in boxes now. I'll try to get it together soon. What are you looking for?

I think we have 3 sets of chains that don't fit SUVs somewhere. Got a Gaz stove, Princeton tec headlamp, a few tents, but don't know what they are without looking at them. I think one is a NF 9 lb dome tent. Got a backpack down there, pd $230, used ~2 mo and decided I didn't like the fit. Got a DaKine daypack with snowboard straps, pd $80, hardly used. Got a 3rd (big) daypack. I'll check to see what's down there.”

“Nekkid!

I was wonderin' about that. Haven't heard from ya. The email is tekapo@mediaone.net. That's .net not .com.

Personal check is okay and I sent you a message about where to send it.

The mrs. is on me about sellin' off some of the gear. Pretty perilous deal, but when I told her it's to be sold to fund other gear, she then says: "Oh, okay." !”

“I've been thinking of EBaying my Paintball gun. I never use it, and it cost me a few bones for it, so I think if I sell a paintball package of the gun, hopper, mask, tank, and new barrel, I may make more money then I payed for it.”

“Cool man, we're square then. Just want the bear cannister tho, not the boot spikes. I'm really needing more of a whole foot kinda strap-on cramp. Check is on it's way bro!”
