“Just curious if anyone knows a good place to buy/sell used campgear? Specifically, I am looking to sell a backpack and sleeping bag that has had minimal use. Just looking to upgrade, but would like to get a little money for what I have since both are in excellent shape. Thanks!”

“Liv..go ahead and post what it is and an asking price on here...some of us might bite. I know my gf is looking for an internal pack.”

“Lowe Alpine Sirocco II ND70+15 - small

North Face Cat's Meow

Both are in excellent condition (maybe used 4-5 times). Just looking for a larger pack and a warmer bag. Not sure what I am asking yet since I just decided this is what I wanted to do. I bought the pack in 2000 and paid $250. I think I got the bag in 1999 and paid $180. I will have to do some research before I set a price. Thanks!”

“I give mine away free.

I make people pay for shipping!

“Hey Mike, you got a Bibler I-tent lyin' around somewhere? <G>”

“I can look to see what I have.I just got rid of a pair of boots I will take a look around!

If I had that tent I don't think I would be giving it away I would be using it!

8)”

“Whoa Liv! Before you go buying any new gear, you ought to do a little more price research. Check out places like Sierra Trading Post and Campmor. You paid way too much for your pack and Cat's Meow.

crazymike - boots are due to arrive tomorrow. UPS got a bunch of new drivers and they couldn't find my house first time out - too far into the woods. I'll let you know how they fit. Thanks again.”

“I love STP!!!!

I hope ya like the boots!

“Haven't we seen this before??? Some newbie comes strolling in, lookin for some buyers to purchase slighty used brand name products,,,,products of an 'ex' ?

What gives little sister,,,,sounds like y 're plannin' on jumpin ship,,,, Now, ya ain't quitin on us are ya? 'cuase we all gonna need proof that you have replacements in mind, mind ya.

Ain't that part of the backpacker's creed? Buy new before you sell old.”

“No- that's the "finding a new boyfriend creed" ditch the old one before you find a new one. Maybe she could use the extra dough at this particular time. Liv e-mail me when you get to Columbus we will shop the black stripes off our visa cards.”

“liv....
let me know what you want for the lowe backpack and what condition it is in....what color is it? does it have a hydration system?

you can e-mail me at gonzo1999@hotmail.com

thanks!!”

“Okay Minister of Truth, sounds like you aren't quite as welcoming. Anyway, this is my gear and I am not quitting. Sorry if I offended anyone, just thought someone might get some use out of my gear. I have also considered donating it.”

“It makes me feel good to give gear away for free becuase I know someone will put it to good use!

8)”

“Same here. Who have you donated to? I am considering the girl scouts. Any suggestions?”

“What I like to do is post it here like I did tonight.Whoever wants it gets it.

All I make people do is pay for UPS shipping.

Thats it.”

“I just gave a pack full of gear to Carbiner & the YMCA. She teaches kids backpacking & rock climbing.

Liv,
Have you thought about selling the stuff on Ebay?”

“I didn't think of Ebay, but that isn't a bad idea. I appreciate the feedback.”

“Aiight crazy mike, you got a Bibler I-Tent or Tripod Bivy perchance??.... I'll pay UPS to git it to me.”

“LMFAO!!!!!!


8)”

“Minister, maybe Liv doesn't want to move stuff that she wants to replace anyway. I hate moving, it forces you to confront how much junk you have accumulated.

You often can get the best prices from ebay or this bunch here. You also can buy gear from this crew, so keep that in mind as well. Wolfsister once mentioned that she takes a youth group out on outdoor trips, so maybe don't GIVE your stuff away until you speak with her.”

“You've got a very good memory Splash. My kids are all set except for a group size water filter and I think Spotsman's Guide has got a real good deal on one. Maybe I'll get a bunch of those cheap closed cell pads. I outfitted a group of 12 dirt cheap by buying from Sportsman's Guide. Now if I had a grown up to assist me? You wonder where I got all that money to buy all that stuff? I put a pop machine in the kitchen of my church, all the profits go to the youth group (where there is a will there is a way).”

“"a pop machine"
I can tell your a Yankee.
LMAO!!!
If you'z from the South, you'd call it a Coke Machine. EVERYTHING is a Coke untill specified.”

“I call it a pop mach!

Whats wrong with that????

8)”

“careful blood we Yankees don't call it pop

“Ive always called it POP!”

“

POP

“"Pop" is what a gangsta does wit a cap into somebody's @ss.

-example-
"I'm gonna pop a cap in yo @ss!"”

“LOL”

“Thats funny!!!!

“Now gimme a D@mn Coke! (Mello Yello)”

“That sounds good I wish they sold Mello Yello around here! go to go down south about 1 hour to get it!

8)”

“Ya got Sun Drop? That stuff is hard to find now days around here.”

“No what is that?

8)”

“It's a type of Coke”

“I have never had it can you send me some?

8)”

“It's like a citrus flavored Mello Yello. I send ya one if I could fine the #&%!$.”

“Sun Drop. that shiiiiit only exists in the minds of teeth rootin rednecked southerns.





hehehehehe”

“I don't believe it! Matt has rigged TT so you can't say the "s" word by substutiting ! for i”

“Well if you find me one please send it to me.

Thank you!

8)”

“You got it bro.”

“Thank you I will pay for the postage!

“Either that or I'll bring ya a 6 pack up to Hoosierville someday.
Gotta find the sh it first though.”

“we got that pop here in Pennsy.,”

“Shut up ya Yankee!

“I want some?

Please.......

Just to try it!”

“I'll check it out at the Yankee-Mart this weekend”

“LOL!!”

“Cool!!!

“Yankees most definitely don't call soda "POP"! Pop is a grandad. A waitress will ask you what kind of soda you want up here. You southerners must have been brainwashed by that red soda can company there in Atlanta. (Which is finally showing some life this year after a couple of years of decline).”

“LMAO at WD and y'all Yanks!! Assrite, everythang's a Coke, until you specify the brand, hehe. My wife drinks diet Mtn Dews, and if I ask her what she she wants, she'll say 'A Coke', but I knows whut she means.

Walkindude, this might not be something you know of .....
them ijits up North call bar-b-ques cooking ANYTHING on the grill. Could be hotdawgs, burgers, or Brats, or.... heyall bagals and locks. But EVERYTHING cooked on a grill is known as a bar-b-que. Now down in God's country, if you go to a bar-b-que, you're gonna dine on some fine BAR-B-QUE, might be ribs, or chicken, or pulled pork, but you can count on it having bar-b-que sauce laid heavy to it. Yum!

So be careful walkindude if one'a them Yanks unfortuneately moves 'down here' and invites you to a bar-b-que. It's prolly just some dang Ballparks or something.”
