Kevin_Matlock Posted October 9, 2004 Posted October 9, 2004 Ok, this against my better judgement, but I need to ask... anybody ever buy used gear (from ebay, g-sale, homeless guy under a bridge, etc)? Specifically nut or cams. I have just invested $$$ on some used gear that looks to be in good shape, but just wondering if any other cheap skates out there have done the same. I know, I know, I'm risking my life on someone else's hand-me-downs, but if someone was just replacing their old/heavy/out-of-style shit with new stuff, and it's in good shape, then what's the problem? Discuss. Quote
Dru Posted October 9, 2004 Posted October 9, 2004 My entire rack is used gear, but I'm not selling. Quote
willstrickland Posted October 9, 2004 Posted October 9, 2004 I climb on used and booty hardwear (but not ropes/slings/etc). Half my gear was previously-owned. Quote
Kevin_Matlock Posted October 9, 2004 Author Posted October 9, 2004 Quick comment for you concerned types: Yeah, my rope/runners/binners are all new, but some of the nuts/cams are pre-owned. Continue duscussing... Quote
JosephH Posted October 9, 2004 Posted October 9, 2004 So long as the duct tape on the rope will pull through the bieners without catching too much it's probably still fine. Quote
