wtb ice screws

[astro]

Looking for ice screws on the way cheap. $10-15 each or something. Anything out there? Thanks.

For the price I would only expect to find titanium ones. Even used ones are probably more than that. Not that the titanium ones are bad, but they dull faster. I did managed to find omega screws (with the knobs) as cosmetic seconds for 20 bucks each once (on mgear.com, none now, just looked). Here are some cheap ti ones... link

I'd like a new rack of c4 camalots on the cheap. Willing to pay $4/cam. Must be new with tags.

P.S. I might be willing to spend some kinky time with your hot girlfriend as partial trade for the cams.

 

Let me know.

Thanks alpin fox (read: asshole)... I've seen 10 screws for a hundred out there..just other people beat me to them. I am just looking to get a used ice rack on my limited resources.

Super sketchy screw for $13.50

Product Description:

A very affordable way to start learning to lead ice. The titan places easily and possesses the same holding power as the competition. Also ideal for leaving behind when good judgement prevails under harsh weather and poor conditions. 5.2oz.

Would you bail off one of these super sketchy screws? I'm looking for a couple ti screws for just that purpose. is any less worse than others in that sub-$20 price range?

Nevermind, I'll ask in the Gear Critic forum.

I was considering the titanium ones, but decided against it after seeing some of the board input. I did manage to pick up some used BD Turbo Express screws for way cheap. Sorry about my post Alpinfox - I was pretty drunk. Thanks everyone else.

TI ones would be good to back up a v thread anchor. I wouldn't rap off just one I don't think. Unless it was a serious "we got's to get the hell outta here" situation. Even then I would send the heavy one and back up the first screw with a second one and watch how the ti one handles. I had a dream last night about a someones rap anchor coming off and them falling. Then in a panic I went down to see if they were okay and they were at the bottom sleeping peacefully in a sleeping bag.

Ummm... Right, I guess this isn't the dream interpretation forum... Wait, anybody want to buy the rights to my dream? 20 bucks or 10 ice screws? OBO.

For what it's worth - I've rapped off of single Ti screws a few times and don't normally backup v-threads (unless the ice is funky). I usually haul them along as leaver screws.
